I sit out here nothing to do. Waiting for school to start.
All around me ,solitude. The great nothing.. I watch the birds. Seems I have a crazy imagination.
These birds have their own society. And they work together most always they pull together in times of stress.
If a big predator bird flies over two little birds will attack. Doesn't matter they are different kinds of birds. They always have a wingman.. they sit, spread out over the place ,guardian of the no fly zone over all the pond area. Each time these two different birds chase of a big bird thess two birds do this little victory dance around each other. Kinda cool two watch. Same dance everytime no matter the two birds. I think it's their birdie version of the high five. .
Watch two little birds taking on two bigger birds. Giving them hell . All of a sudden one of the little birds break off and leaves the one fighting the two. I jump up yelling" no no don't ever leave your wingman. "
My eyes following it .( I get so bored lol)
I noticed it had saw another big bird swooping the pond and went to engage it, chasing it away from the pond
Had to appreciate them little guys. Each doing their part protecting each other
No matter the species or how different they are from each other they got each other's back. That's how a community should be ran
. Or maybe I just spend to much time alone lol . Don't watch TV. But I have plenty to watch
No poem this time. Just observation were humans could learn from the critters of this earth. Just my thoughts.

Sailboat Log

Wind is blowing pretty hard. 
See why the hand holds  
Will lift you and slam you. Sometimes the boat leaves the water completely.
Your raceing around the deck trying not to be swept overboard. 
You are so soaked, wind chilling you to the bone.
Half filled with fear 
Yet the grin says I'm having the time of my life 
Make a mistake your dead
I have no care about dead. Doesn't matter to me. 
I'm alive.  Nature slamming me every way
Waves that lean the boat to where you swear the boats mast is almost touching the water each rock of a wave
What's crazy I can't swim a lick .
Don't care. Better my body on the ocean floor than ashes sitting forever on someone's shelf
You can sit in a couch feeling sad thinking life has past you by .
Waste away in sorrow
No thoughts on tomorrow
Or get yourself up go out and bring life to you
Like its said you live only once.
You live every day. 
you die only once
Your choice. Make the most out of what short time we get, or you waste away wishing. 
Yeah. Only you can make this choice

Skyway

Try to make it back to where it is I came
Wading through life's it's always been the same
Life lead me this way
Lost for the day
Driving a road stuck between heaven and hell
Am I driving to fast I can't tell
But it's all in the game you choose
And it does matters if you win or loose
One way gets you so much pain
The other, you have just  became another dark road stain
Living life isn't always as easy as it seems 
Living and then losing all your dreams
The other you drive so hard and fast
But your racing memories from the past
Driving all night in the pouring rain
This life gives you so much strain
Racing back from where you came from
Trying hard to get you some
But love never comes for free
That's something some just cannot see
They take your heart then leave you crying alone in the rain
Leaving your heart filled with pain
Just to go racing off again.
Just taking her out for a spin
Again and again playing it close to the heart
Then losing it all just  before the start
Win or lose 
It's up to you to chose
I'm still driving along somewhere lost in the game
Will it ever be the same
Longing for a way back home
Doomed to always roam
Driving forever across that drifting sky
Taking a moment to sit and softly cry 
before I go flying through
That eternal skyway 
Then we are going along till the next day
Living so long along side this long winding road
Carrying your crimes  heavy load
Paying for all the  sins you made so long ago
Let's sit back and enjoy the show
And don't you know right on time , here  comes the train
you just have to think  now just who is to blame

Yesterday's Smile

Time, passing me by
Yesterday's my reason why
No longer I try
Passing me by like
yesterday's smile
Done walked that mile
Demanding I give her my heart
But with hers she'll never part
Way it goes 
Everybody knows
Yesterday's smile won't carry me that far
that seems about par
What can you do 
Stepping on past that color blue
Before you can make me weep
My heart I will keep
Don't need your I love you
No word is true
So I keep on a walking
Leaving you a talking
Life done showed
All love is blowed
Can't let that seed be sowed
When the heart breaks
That's all it takes
I got taken to school
And that's cool
Learned I could stand on my own
Don't want your love shown
Maybe I've grown
All I need is me
I have come to see
Now that makes me free

Peace

Won't have any sermon my sermon is taught by the way I live.
It is in all I have to give.
No church have I to go.
My service is not a fancy show.
Just so you know.
It's with acts of kindness that I hope to be heard.
For that can be louder than any word.
With compassion in the heart.
Is how we all should start.
Then at some point me, becomes we
By sharing what we know,
Love will start to grow.
Thus can spread throughout the land
If only we help them to simply understand peace is the way.
They will learn this, by all we do or say

So I Fly

...... Here I fly ....
Do you  know why
Have no reason to stay
Going home today
Lighter than air
Not a care
Cause I dare
Yesterday lies behind
Tomorrow is out of mind
What lies ahead
The love I will be fed
Flying foward
Ever towards
Past the horizon I go
It's all I know
Past the clouds in the sky
So high 
.. I fly ...
A never ending flight
Beyond sight
Like a bird flying free
How that would be
Break earth's binding tie 
So high
I dare to fly 
... Set free ...
What wonders I see
Flying beyond tomorrow 
Towards the land of no sorrow
Towards my new home waiting
Cause I didn't spend my time hating
 My soul is now free to fly
Never to die
... No reason to cry ...
My wings are just  carring me home
Done is my time to roam
Past what lies behind
Cause I know what I'll find
Peace of mind
So I fly
.... Ever so high ....

Song Bird Ballad

Whistling sofly through my window
Listening , the moment started to slow
The ballad of the song bird
For a moment was all I heard
Sat there so long 
Listening to his song
Not a note wrong
His music was rising and falling
Other birds soon came a calling
Joining his song
Before long
Music filled the air 
I felt not a care
At that moment in time
I came up with this rhyme
A concert just for me
Such a beautiful ballad it be
A black bird Whistling lead , head a bobbing keeping the beat
When joined by the bluebird , I knew I was in for a treat
And I had a front row seat
Lost to the music around me
Best concert I ever did see
And it was all free

Slaying Dragons

Long days gone hazy
Maybe due to my crazy
I see deep into my mind
Where nobody else will find
A place of memories gone so wild
Some are of me as a child
For these memories I don't care
Back then life was not so fair
Memories are the ghosts of the past
None of them days went very fast
Time does not heal
These memories I feel
Lost in the echoes of a childs tears
At times ,I still feel my fears
Who was the lost boy I see
Can that truly be me
Memories dimmed by times gone by
At times I still feel the need to cry
days best forgotten, my childhood
Memories of a child that 
 understood
Love, even then ,meant pain 
Dragons ,his mind has  long since slain
Trying to bring peace to a child lost inside
In my mind he still does reside
Healing scars of a long wounded soul 
Finding peace the only goal
bringing peace to the boy in my mind
Maybe this memories left behind
Will help the man, he is to be 
So that he too, will be free

Deserve

Thinking, not all deserve my compassion or care
I put myself out there
Yes I dared 
I wish I hadn't cared
Are they worth the pain they cause me
I want to be free 
Will never be 
Why must I feel them if I can't do a thing but feel them cry
Why
Compassion , empathy , worthless to them I can't reach  
I don't care about me. 
Don't you see.
I have given all I have , all I am , set me free
This flesh dies. 
My soul cries
Time flies
I can't get away 
What must I say. 
Give me the right word
Make my voice heard
Tell me what I must do
My desire is true
If I don't , who will. 
I feel them still
The hungry the homeless the poor
We must do more
Open that door
truly am I insane
That I still feel their pain
What am I to do
I ask you 
They are our sisters, and brothers
Our father's and mother's
Our families one and all
We do nothing , mankind will fail
We have to work together but we don't. 
We just won't !
It makes me so sad
And it's just too bad
But still , I feel them cry
Why
I want to give up so bad
And that makes me sad
