There is nothing
More soothing
Than the sound
Of God’s thunderous voice
As he enlightens the skies
Washing away
The sorrows of today
With the hope
Of tomorrow

Camping
28 Monday Jul 2014
They pitch their tents
And gather sticks
They tell me I should try it
It’s fun they say
Come on and play
Sorry, I just don’t buy it
The forest folk hide nearby
They never make a sound
But I know they’re there
And try not to care
However, it’s much too quiet
A pat on the back
As they finish their tasks
The campsite looks quite inviting
But I’m still not staying
With bugs I’m not laying
Just drop me off at the Hyatt.

Forest Passage
25 Friday Jul 2014
The light dims
Sounds of the night
Envelop the land
Echoing over tall trees
And small creatures
Tucking themselves in
As the sun sets
And the moon glows
Over empty trails
That rest upon the ground
Awaiting the rush
Of a new day’s dawn

A lonely beacon
Upon the hill
Illuminating the evening
Letting its light shine
Through the darkest hours
Guiding those who go astray

The World Mourns – In Memory of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17
23 Wednesday Jul 2014
Flares blaze in the sunlight
Marking the field below
Strewn with shattered pieces
Of innocence
The battle continues
For the right to make claim
To a land that does not belong
To any one man
Voices cry out in the night
The sounds of souls making
Their assent to the skies
From which they fell
And the world grieves aloud
And promises justice
For those who could not fight back
For all who were lost
In Memory of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17….R.I.P.
