Terrible Things

Terrible things have happened 
Terrible things 
Terrible things live
Exist. 

We must live
Trying
Not to harbour 
But
Eliminate
Those terrible things.

Not hear, feel 
Allow
Those awful 
Awful
Terrible things.

Ten Thousand Things

April 3, 2017

Flying Stingray ~ Photo by Patrice

 

 

When I sleep and rest my eyes
My mind she thinks
Ten thousand things
Sometimes waking dragons
And awful, horrible, terrible things
Or she rests in peace
Delving into more magic things
Flying high with no restraints
Unencumbered by earthful ties
She soars, she dares
She climbs the stairs
Into a world
Where there are no cares
There tonight
Maybe I will dwell
No one knows nor can tell
I only hope the night will pass
Giving me in sleep a chance
To dream
Another wondrous
Ten thousand things.
~ Patrice
