The toll Rises

the toll rises, we atone fore what we did
and what we did naught of?
it lays un-thought of.
times passage flows, life grows/
and as we wonder, we wander on through,
to think of what we did, and what we didn't do.

One Way mirror

I close my eyes
because in-front of me,
is that screen that shows me everything.
It shows the hate, the hurt the lies
and what i do not wish to see.
as the match set for suffering.

My mouth is covered I cannot speak.
My hands tied back I cannot release.
But even if my bonds were freed,
still the mirror lies in-front of me.

That mirror stands, shows consequence
and all I fear is recompense
and when the glass comes scattering down
its only so I might pick up the pieces

sixpence or a pound

(s2 from songs collection)

Sing a song of sixpence
this ones worth a pound,
hear lie all my foot prints,
they wont wait around
as i lie in wonder
as i lie in wait,
think what a lovely world this is
just to appreciate

(inspired by an old English nursery rhyme)

elements part 1

Gravity pulls hard
fog covers all
rain pelts roughly
and snowflakes fall

swamps thicken gradually
sand pits sink
mud grows thickly
and hardens to stick
