Inspiration series #3 Discontinuity of Souls

Are we dying?
Standing still in the orchard full of life
Are we tasteless?
Though we hold the saltshaker in hand
I’m glued to the music
When life is passing all around
Seeing starving children on the TV
Just before I clean out the fridge
Tomorrow I could be in France
Walking the streets taking a glance
And still the thirsty abound
Why don’t we go down?
Collect some water for dry lips
No we fear that we’d drown
Fear that we’d drown
Keeps us on the couch
Enjoying that which brings fat to our hips
Our world is like a dying fruit tree
Rooted at the rivers edge
The flood brings our food
More than enough
Much more than enough
Some need just a trickle
While others are stuffed
Should finding a happy life
Be like a diamond in the rough

Inspiration series #2 The Window


Ahh the letters carry
The message that meets
We send them with hope
For love at our feet
We see them picture perfect
In the window that sits like a frame
Time cannot shape them
No, time will not change them
Though wrinkles and age may come
They will continue to love
It is a love more powerful than some
Which age cannot overcome
This is the scene I want most to find
A woman that I want for all time
