His body could not contain
The thoughts within his brain
He must diffuse the news
It’s too hard to refrain
When all is said and done
When there is no one left that hasn’t heard
There’s still anticipation
Before each and every word

There were dark days in my past
When I walked amongst the shadows
Waning in a battle field
Dodging flying arrows
Aimed straight at my heart
But deflected off my shield
Then ripped and torn apart
Until it no longer hurt to feel

‪The fun is in the journey ‬
‪Passing town to town ‬
‪Seeing peoples faces‬
‪Out there in the crowd ‬

‪The fun is in the journey ‬
‪Always on the move‬
‪To a specific destination ‬
‪Or wherever they so choose
‬
‪The fun is in the journey‬
‪To the city up the road‬
‪To a beach somewhere in Mexico‬
‪Or to other parts unknown‬

The last reindeer went missing
From out in front on Santa’s sleigh
So he had nothing to guide him
Through the snow on Christmas Day
The presents were not delivered
And so the children cried and teared
That’s how Christmas got ruined
When the last reindeer disappeared

The dessert was dressed and garnished
With a wafer, thin and crisp
Eaten by the mayor
Who spoke with a small lisp
He gobbled up the sweets
Then went on to make a speech
Of how to build up unity
And whom he’d like to reach
The children in the city
To the homeless on the streets
He told anyone who’d listen
And with that, he packed the seats
It’s how he swayed the voters
The election his to keep
Winning in a landslide
Will history repeat?

Abundant clouds
And distant ships
Alone on empty seas
No sun yet in the morning sky
A calmness, without breeze
No sails deployed
The waters flat
Cool, calm, and serine
The crews asleep
As silence looms
Deep within a dream

The crowd stood still in awe
But what they failed to understand
Is that no rules or laws were broken
Just some slight of hand
A card trick or two
A disappearing act
Step aside folks
And enjoy the ride
As he pulls a rabbit from his hat
