Always Something Good

April 2, 2017

Lose a long time job

A better one comes along

A messy hateful divorce

You both will be better off

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Joy makes Enthusiasm

Love brings Happiness

Positive vibes replace

Sour vibes of negativity

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be as kind as you are able

to those persons who bring you

their poisons as wretchedness

It is all they have in their lives

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Each day is a gift to you

You are safe and secure

A sound mind full of joy

And gratefulness abound

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Go for a long walk or drive

Enjoy the beauty of nature

Smell the essence of the ocean

Take in the beauty of the flowers

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Laugh at the antics of animals

Smile at the elderly on benches

Really look at your surroundings

It all has a calming effect on you

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Take nothing for granted

Keep what is the most

Very important to your life

In the chambers of your heart

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Every day a blessing

No pain in our bodies

As some experience

Every hour of their day

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Take care in the words you spew

Out in anger hatred and gossip

That could and might be you

They are talking trash about

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Do you see all the abundance

Existing all around us daily

The waste of foods and goods

That might be shared with others

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

When your eyes sparkle

You are so very beautiful

Shinning as the sunshine

On the loveliest of days

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Wake up, right now realizing

Using your heart, eyes and soul

There is nothing more to want

Your world ~ your oyster pearl

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Be grateful for you ~ Be happy

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Dressed in black leather,

red hourglass coat,

interlaced crystal,

silk tiara web,

latest in fashion.

Squeezing through cracks

to hide from her prey,

legs tucked in,

until the stars proclaim

now is the time.

Vicious jaws

of a ravenous beast

under blood red moon.

In the stillness of chimes,

suspended in hollow

of my consciousness,

I see the shabby threads

of her fragile web.

Can’t resist her juice

as she beckons me

to crocheted hammock,

nestled in broken snips

of the full moon.

Sting of her promise

heralds the battle

is lost for me,

as I perish,

poisoned

in my dreams.

     So the raven reminded responsibly- Caw

   And then echoed like leaves dropping   

  violently- Caw

While answers are stars shooting stingers from space 

As worms wriggle, wrangling wreaths worn in their place 

Allowing for inclement weather, a breath,

Awaiting the moment, cocooning of death-

His beak is a totem of mealworms and manner- Caw

The raven is waving aloft hunger's banner- Caw

Until shiny objects adjourn the worm's plea,

Distracting and hiding, the bird in a tree-

The raven is flitting and sitting alone 

Uncertain of whether or not he is known

Wings flap

Bug trap

Beaten 

Eaten

Sigh

Die
