Clock

The Young Man in my

Grandfather's Clock falls from the plank

coming from the hatch, wounded.

He heard the two chimes and screamed,

"Two O' Clock and all is well!"

An angry neighbor awakened

from his excited living voice.

Aims his shotgun out his window.

And with his nightcamp on,

shoots, killing

the man in my Grandfather's clock.

Comfort

To all the souls who lived,

and did not have.

I share in your pain and know that one day,

someone will hold you,

and comfort will come.

Lake

The Lake of glass does cutmy heart.
Live is valuable because it is,

emotion.

Strange it is,
that the water shifts so rapidly on a body
that doesn't move.

No matter how cold the water is,
it is always warmer than one degree less.

So Rejoice!
And live in the warmer water.

Dream

Please don't be just another dream.

I'd rather not wake from.

If you need to blow off some steam,

Be alone -

When ready, run to me - come.

"I'm a free man"

But if thou choosest to kill

It matters not, I died free

and you can never take that away.

I'll live again one day

Be put in bondage and set free again.

However, eternal freedom awaits

in the power of another

which you hold as well.

You choose - be wise.

Wolves

Wolves howling, Children crying -

Hearts roaring, fingers fumbling.

Soles worn down, tin can crown -

Disappointed frown, dusty, ghost town.

Vandals left unscolded -

Wet flag unfolded.

Broken glass spread around -

Jogging shoes, rapture sound.

Preferring fruit loops over Golden Grahams -

Rather be running than think of Lambs.

Holiday of fun - for all

Including me and this wall.

Cramp

Busted stained glass -

Blu tak alas!

No one will know -

Hope it won't show.

Spitting blood off the tramp

jump too high, get a cramp.

Tiger shoes at school

Mocked, feel like a fool.

Activities galore attend

realize one true friend

No one can I trust, but two

Lord and I, not you.

Sought crusade fulfill

resentment looking uphill.

Working, wanting to rest.

Joy in completing test.
