Unbelievable Acts

Words fail in a moment like this

Our thoughts and prayers 

Do not even begin to do enough

My heart is broken into a thousand pieces

For this world has become an absolute mess.

These senseless massacres are becoming far too frequent.

Please help spread the word that something has to be done 

Is our freedom really protected by ownership of a gun?

Unbelievable acts of senseless violence

due to a lack of respect for human life.

My heart is broken into a thousand pieces

For this world has become an absolute mess.

These senseless massacres are becoming far too frequent.

Please help spread the word that something has to be done 

Is our freedom really protected by ownership of a gun?

I'm Not Feeling the Fun

The tree is up

the lights are lit

carols are being sung

Cookies are baked

and candies have been made

the stockings all are hung

Packages are wrapped

and cards are written

to each and everyone

So why is it that

this holiday

I'm not feeling the fun?

It's not just me

I've asked around

and have heard from

one and all

It's Chirstmas time

and even still

I don't feel like

decking the hall

Tis the season

It's a good enough reason

but it's not

quite played it's part

Hope the Grinches

magical powers

can open up our hearts

Twelve, Twelve, Twelve

Twelve hours of the day.
Twelve months in which to play.
Twelve hours of the night.
Twelve apostles yes, that's right.

Twelve signs in the zodiac.
Twelve days of Christmas too.
Twelve Prophets imagine that.
Twelve Tribes of Israel it's true.

Twelve Gods on Mount Olympus
Who were once in charge of us.
Twelve brings harmony to Yin and Yang,
To our lives can it do the same?

Twelve represents wealth and prosperity.
Twelve symbolizes love and charity.
Twelve offers Completeness and Fulfillment
Twelve apparently is quite significant.

We welcome you today
Twelve-Twelve-Twelve
Hopefully in your ways
we can all delve.

Falling Behind Again

Falling behind again.

Missing moments with friends.

Never enough hours in the day.

How does it always end up this way?

Working hard to catch up.

Not sure if I ever will.

Falling behind again.

Why won't time stand still?

Never enough hours in the day.

Hard to combine work and play.

Falling behind again.

When will this madness end?

Trying

Trying something new.

Hope it turns out well.

Trying something different.

Hope to keep it going.

Trying time and time again.

Hope to try some more.

Breathe and Laugh

Returning to class has
opened up creativity once more.

The collage allowed my mind
an avenue in which to explore.

Possibilities for tomorrow
I hadn't known before.

Inner peace cries out
to be attained.

Requiring me to try
to empty my brain.

Continue forward
on this path.

And along the journey
remember to breathe and laugh.
