Life is But A Dream

I recall singing that song when I was a small child and wondering what did it mean? – Life is just a dream? Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream. But where did this come from and who wrote it? A bit of research suggests that the earliest printing of it was in 1852 but who wrote it and why seems lost in the mists of time. If anyone knows, please let me know… I thought life a dream when I was a child or rather, I thought it a game that I controlled. It was a sort of virtual reality (as it would be called now) and I was sat in a box connected to a machine that

The Story – from Best Laid Plans

I am going to tell you a story Although it has a beginning It’s ending is yet unwritten And maybe has no ending Once upon a long, long time ago A boy was to a woman born He sneezed and started his life He was the family’s very first born He grew and grew and grew Tall and thin but quite bright And off to college he went Seeking out truth and inner light He looked and searched all about Examining all manner of places Never finding what he sought But he covered all the bases One day in despair he sat Quietly contemplating naught Tired of seeking, he took a rest And lost his train of thought The inner vision grew and grew Discovering very strange places Filled with

Deeper

It’s so dark I can hardly see A gloom lies all around A dark blanket of heaviness Like the fog that envelopes My mind in misty confusion A dark and gloomy conclusion I’m tired so very tired Death and destruction War and virulent pestilence There is neither truth nor sense In anything that I see Yet is this an echo of me? Deeper I seem to fall And the deeper it gets The more I feel constrained As if trapped and contained In some sort of heavy mud Some stinking heap of crud I am in a darkened tunnel That never seems to end The light I see is distant Becoming even non-existent As I seem to sink in deeper Deeper, ever deeper

Okay

Four seasons Seven days Disputed reasons Whatever she says Years pass Many cycles Memories amass Of deft survival Still I know you didn’t mean it Until The emotional deficit Changed it all Rearranged it all Suddenly We were sliding out of control Glibly You said it was just like parole But you meant its over You didn’t dare say But it was truly over Like the end of a darkened day Done Washed away Gone Okay Lost forever Until We could never Fill The gap that was left Soiled Bereft Of meaning Celebrating Endings Eternal blackness Death and decay There is no other way And nothing left to say Okay
