Suspicion..

 

Whilst bathing in the warmth of summer night walking,

I heard a voice distant cry.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

 

My answer:

 

"Your concern is duly noted sir, but I suggest your query should more truly be": Why can't I see you?

 

To which I added this remark..... "But sir, it is also dark".

 

For darkness is neither good nor evil, only the suspicious minds of men.

The eternal road:

 

Yesterday, today, and tomarrow,

can we really divide the time?

The past is what I remember,

but has it truly died?

 

For without the past unfolding,

the present could not remain.

With the present also reaching,

the future becomes the day.

 

As we reason in the present,

can we judge the future free?

Or is this passage we call time,

an allusion that divides the three.

 

The past, the present, and the future,

are just names we give our passage.

A long road through eternities plan,

with our minds focused on the now.

 

Because the road behind us in memory,

does not desolve before our eyes.

And the road before us is established,

Written in script like a Broadway play.

 

Past, Present, and Future; The eternal road.

Everyone contributes and gets a royalty check!

Seriously.

Waiting:

 

Youth waits in frustration,

time creeping like a snail.

School day's dulldrums,

then the freedom of graduation.

 

Childhood passes into adulthood,

grand plans for young adults.

Work, sweat, and save,

plan, spend, and build.

 

Now that many years have passed, I look back.

 

Looking back in memory,

to warm summer nights,

and easy Sunday mornings.

The years overtake ambition.

 

Again I find myself waiting,

time moving swiftly now.

Waiting for the answer,

how will it all end?

 

 

Waiting................waiting

Picture Puzzle:

 

Like a childs picture puzzle,

great men add their pieces.

To a picture vaguely painted,

a portrait, information missing.

 

Many of the pieces easily fit,

falling as it were together.

While others being forced

produce a picture grotesque.

 

As the last pieces are placed,

to complete our mosaic view.

Will man recognize the image,

or again, scramble the puzzle?

 

Beginning a new human epoch.

Swing:

 

Seated in comfort,

on front porch swing.

Smell of purple lilac

in warm summer air.

 

Content with simple things,

I wonder why some struggle?

Running against the wind,

while the swing waits empty.

Ambitious dreams:

 

 

We've all heard the familiar saying,

"be careful what you wish for,

because you may just get it".

So I ask those reading, the following:

 

For what you,ve been wishing,

consider the value my friend.

Will the thrill last the morrow,

or will it suddenly end.

 

Only those things which endure,

that last through thick and thin.

When all else has failed you,

will hopes and wishes sustain?

 

Looking back we find examples,

of many great and mighty men,

having attained long sought dreams,

to only despise their end.

Peace.

Excellent InfiniteNow, absolutely...........................but not at any cost.

 

Peace with all our neighbors,

peace of mind and spirit.

Peace that will endure the times,

but not at the cost of Freedom.

Identity................

 

Puzzled by the image,

in my bathroom mirror.

I am tempted to enquire,

who is really in there?

 

Feeling quite embarrassed,

at having such a thought,

The question grew much larger

with an answer being sought.

 

At birth I was given a name,

an address and identity.

People recognize my person,

at least, this they tell me.

 

But who am I for truth,

and will I, a difference make.

And that fellow in the mirror,

is he real, or is he only fake?

Each morning I wake up

I take a crap,

Look into my image in the mirror,

Is that really me??

 

Guess so, 'cuz its lookin' back :)

The image is getting older,

Yet wiser that follows age

 

What do I need to do today??

Look at all the bills,

Need to go to work,

Nothing special here...

 

When I get home,

I can tell the wife,

and I can tell the Kids,

I'm posting on Hypography,

so, SHUT THE HELL UP! :) :)

 

 

 

not my greatest.....

Liberty;

 

A beautiful image appears,

as the light of freedom

shines in the eyes of one,

formerly oppressed.

The face of change:

 

There is an old saying,

the more things change,

the more they remain the same.

Of this, I am convinced.

 

My world is no longer,

just a memory passing.

When good was acknowleged,

and evil easily recognized.

 

Are things really so different,

or has age distorted my view?

If so, then I understand

why youth is such a blessing.

 

There is another saying,

that youth is waisted on the young.

About this view, I must disagree.

Such a blessing cannot be waisted.

Life:

 

Basking in glorious moments,

memories in vain deceit.

The meaning of this life,

a portrait of missed opportunities.
