Cold Ideas And Brain Dreams

.

“He was weary of himself,

of cold ideas and brain dreams.

Life a poem?

Not when you went about

forever poetizing

about your own life

instead of living it.”

brain

floating cloud

letting thoughts materialize

mostly selfish, sometimes not

dreams

again, in God’s time

Mother Earth wobbles and shakes

ages come and go

man’s feeble concept of time

what’s a million years or so

.

Poem:
.

can’t carry a tune
my bucket is holy
can’t jump over the moon
everything gets done slowly

only color I can mix is brown
every picture is out of focus
at my best I was a not funny clown
my attempts at writing were atrocious

at school I struggled to be average
mumbling, stumbling, lived a boring life
at work they all used me as leverage
took three tries to get a good wife

can’t figure out rhyme or reason
my best guess is usually wrong
can’t decide on a favorite season
never, ever could I name that song

so I can’t, no reason to be blue
because what I can, is to love you

Nothing Changes

.

“All the new thinking

is about loss.

In this it resembles

all the old thinking”

different

most unusual

every living thing

not like anything else

unique

Haiku:

.

earth slowly changes

too big for man to affect

learn from the lessons
