God Says Do

So I write to you.

But what good do words do?

Between me and you.

Some find comfort in a song.

Where do I belong?

How can I be so wrong?

I love words when they are good.

Perhaps a joke, touch wood.

Are my words made of mud?

After the flood.

Its better to be doing something than nothing, so they say.

Passing time away.

What have I to say?

Not much today.

God, what should I do?

Talk to you.

So I do.

I’m trying to find out what its all about.

When I find out I’ll let you know.

So on I go.

I’ll give you a clue.

Its up to you.

Me too.

Feeling

Art is all from feeling, feeling matters most.

Do you say holy spirit or do you say holy ghost?

What is the spirit of all things and everything and all?

Is it either very large or very, very small?

Is your spirit really you, is that all there is to say?

I will leave the question why for another day.

Do you feel the spirit of a thing, person, place?

Does great scenery inspire a smile upon your face?

Happiness and sadness, remembrance of times past.

Tomorrow is another day, the future comes at last.

Above all feeling, feeling is my king.

When you have love and happiness do you want anything?

Walk

A girl walks out across the world one step at a time.

Through the sunlight and the shade, everything looks fine.

To her destination, is that work or play?

A smile upon her face, I say good day.

She is in no hurry but she is getting there.

With her dog and bag and purse, she seems to have no care.

A smile upon her face for me and a smile on mine.

We may pass some words today or another time.

Manchester United

Manchester United probably has no player from Manchester, does it matter?

Who is Sepp Blatter?

Today we have singers who can’t sing, it’s the thing.

Why is nothing what it says it is, the United Nations are not united.

Explain it to a child, it takes some explaining, I am not delighted.

They have as little to do with what they say they are as a bicycle with a car.

The world is very complicated, many things are overrated.

Do you blame people for going mad when the world is mad?

It makes me sad.

Rename something when its name is bad, does that change anything at all?

Am I talking to the wall?

They say a thing is wrong but have no cure.

Is that me or you or them, are you sure?

There’s something not right somewhere, as Shakespeare said, rotten in the state of Denmark.

He did not miss the mark.

For Denmark read everywhere.

Believe me there is good but it is rare.

What is happening to our air?

What qualities make good, dedication and care.

They are still there.

The few are true.

Are you?

Mall

The churches are deserted, the shopping malls are too.

Virtual reality has taken over, its caught on like the ‘flu.

A good machine is better than a bad person I heard someone say.

I prefer flesh and blood, reality every day.

Young people don’t talk to each other, they’re all on the phone, leaving each other alone.

They can’t write a letter, they can’t even talk.

With a few exceptions who learned more than how to walk.

The flight from reality and other people is all around and getting worse.

People are a blessing, not a curse.

End of verse.

Word

The written word, the spoken word, one is seen, the other heard.

In one ear and out the other go words in the air.

The written word shall last until the end of time, when true and fair.

Who shall speak the word written down, perhaps a funny circus clown.

Immortal word speak to me.

Sing a song of the free.

The best is yet to be.

A cup of tea.

Flower

I saw you walking by with a flower in your hair.

You did not see me there.

I said hello, you did not hear me though.

Girl I barely know.

You have charm.

God between us and all harm.

I’ll chance my arm.

You are a beautiful view.

The Sun comes shining through.

That’s you.

A ray of sunshine in a world of grey.

Have a nice day.

A lot of people have worry on their face.

You have grace.

Smiling face.
