Just by chance...

7am
So what's the story to unfold?
Another story to be told
Yet another
in the endless list
from the beginning of time.
And somewhere in the world
it is 10pm
And somebody is writing somebody a love letter
about all of their dreams and desires
in the prime of their life
it's infinity and beauty
it's boundless possibilities
it's colour and passion
it's untarnished glow
And somewhere in the world
a person waits -
but not sure what for?
Destiny seems written
but not what it seems
and nor how they see
And somewhere in the world
a letter waits
to change many lives...
but may never come to be

Note Pad

Technology
Can't keep up
Treading water
Time to take a breath
Learning how to type,
How to read again
Rethinking how to think again
How we view the world
This new device,
can't work it out
can't even answer...
Press the green button
That doesn't work anymore
Have to slide it across!
From yesterday to tomorrow
From tomorrow to next week
From day to night
From dark to light
From once was wrong,
but now is right
Wondering how I ever lived without it...

Nearly there

The weekend is finally here
and the sun is finally shining
the weeks are long but quick
the weekends even quicker
Always something to be done
always something we haven't done
should have done
have to remember to forget sometimes...
Counting down the days to the big move
It's creeping up, with so much pace
then let the games begin!
The mind ticking over and over and over
all the things to do
what to do first?
what to do last?
what to do now
what can wait
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Better check the bank account again,
No, it still looks the same as 5 mins ago
Better check those lotto numbers.......
Damn! 4 numbers off by 1 again

The Wings of Time

Sunrise, sunsets
A blur inbetween
Glance in the rear view mirror
to see where you've been
Capture a glimpse
of a person you thought you knew
A few extra kgs
a wrinkle or two...

Makes you wonder what to achieve
Is it me?
Is it you?
It was once make believe
but now it seems to have all come true
Out in the open
sometimes under cover
you lose a friend
and make another
and try to balance your thoughts, dreams, and memories
Past, present and future
Without obsession or dwelling
in actions
and not in telling...

Again

Awakened in the morning
hit that snooze button
think about the day ahead...
what day is it?
snap out of that dream
back to reality -
it is staring at you through the steam in the mirror
wipe it clean
is that the time?
running late
already again,
again and again
behind the eight ball
no food for thought
no thought for breakfast
no time to turn on the iron
need a new razor - hope you remember
a kiss goodbye...
and I put my life in your hands
check it in at the door
Take care until I see you both again
tonight
i hope I won't be late
i hope you'll be safe
because life starts again,
when we're back together
the rest we do to fill in the time
pay the bills
earning a living,
making a life
realise some potential
avoiding and confronting
listen to some stories
about comfort zones
to help you fall asleep,
and once again
we are
thinking about everything we want to achieve
solving the mysteries of the world
wondering what challenges will put us on trial next?
wondering what we can conquer?
who is dealing the cards?
who will be trying to cheat
take advantage
or surpise us with kindness
selflessness
reminding me of that moment
when I realised that my philosophies I had developed
when I was young
what made me who I had become
were wrong when I was never wrong
and it was a pleasantly unpleasant surprise
opened my eyes...
and I promised
this time
I won't hit snooze

Knot two shore?

In your mind
In your eyes
What is to find?
What is the prize?
Catch the wind
Make a wish
See something,
from start to finish...

Came to a conclusion
then wonder again
to be sure and never know
to flourish and never grow
Keep it simple
Keep it complex
Trying to make more than just sense
and trying to save all pride,
It's in the eye of the beholder
It's in each fleeting thought
It's instinctual
It's not natural
and it's not worth all the explanations,
the philosophical justication -
when all that matters
is how it makes you feel inside...
