Something's not right,
I've been thinking all night,
I've been thinking all day,
But it just won't go away...

Seems I can't get over it,
That something's missing somewhere
And I know there's something more to it
,Than just a feeling that's there...

And I wish i could put my finger on it,
And say,"the trouble's here",
And i'm angry cos I can't get to it,
When I feel that i'm so near...

I hate that nagging part of my brain,
That says, "something's wrong!",
And another night, I lay awake in vain;
Till morning comes along...

IT AT 60!

A bubble burst,somewhere
In the back of his mind
"Like the DotCom bubble",he thought...
Whatever happened? Was he beyond care?
For some semblance of sanity,he fought...
Retirement,it crept upon him,slowly
And his body didn't seem to mind
He was all of sixty,now, suddenly
Like his children did so often remind...
An IT job, a cushioned existence;
And hundreds of young un's at his beck and call...
"It all goes away today", he cried
He'd never imagined that one day he'd fall
And won't hang around, no matter what he tried...
Computers,they were a boon,also a bane
With the tendency to drive you insane
With endless cups of coffee, and junk food galore
And waiting for ratings, for what was in store,
And late nights, and parties, and short trips abroad
"They've all gone away, now help me God!"
So spake a poor balding fat stooping guy
An IT professional, as he bade his job goodbye...!

I wish...

I wish I had a big gray castle
And around it, a big blue moat.
I wish I had an airplane too
And a million dollar boat
I wish I was a knight, shining
All heroic and strong and bold
And wish I had my stories told,
To children, to menfolk too.
I wish I had a damsel fair,
In distress, to save and make my queen
I wish I was a dashing thief,
I'd steal her heart, and never be seen.
I wish I had a dragon-slaying sword,
And a mighty dragon to kill too!
I wish I had my piles of gold, to hoard
And shout from the rooftops that I do...
I'd spin around the world, and hear
For myself, some fairy tales, some true
The stories that made my childhood bear
Some stories that live on in memory;
These fantasies, Oh God be so kind
And make them all come true, let me see
For a moment, to know how it feels
For just a moment, to not be me....

Waiting....

So I'm waiting for a sunrise,

I'm waiting for another day,

I'm hoping to hear something nice

Tomorrow, if not today....

I can see the stars, I can see them shine

I can see them mock me, I can see their smile,

I can see their lines, a design divine

Even if it took me a while..

And it happens, every night, while I wait,

For the words to come to me; I hope

As I watch the clouds dance with a telescope

For the words that illuminate.....

The hours, they tick, they tock, they fade

And down goes more sand in the hourglass

And I wait in vain, and I wait in vain

Oh 'twere better to watch the growing grass....

God's Handiwork...

The beauty of a golden sunrise,
is impossible to describe,to collect,to capture
It has to be seen,with the mind's inner eyes
And felt,in all its imperious rapture...
Many such creations, of God's holy might
A tiger's cub,an eagle's flight,
An elephant,an ant,
an owl in the night...
In the ocean's blue,swim a hundred whales,
A butterfly's rainbow,
A millipede's walk,
And yet we know not a million other tales...
Of snow-capped mountains,of ravines,
of a calm glittering lake,
And swift flowing rivers, and the rivulets they make,
Of acres of orchards, and flowers in bloom
Of soft velvet moss, just woven in God's loom...
Like dewdrops, like fine mist,like a falling snowflake,
Like the sun kissed sands of a beach,like the summer rain;
We see His unseen hands, every moment awake
These are moments to rejoice, to praise Him again...

Christmas time...

I sing with hope,
a merry song
That happy tidings may come,
And hope I get to stay up long
Long enough to see Santa come...
Red ribbons, wrapping, mistletoe
And cake,and cookies,and so much more
'Tis time to rejoice, to let everyone know
The season's joys, to raid a candy store!
'Tis Christmas time, all happiness surrounds
The world,in pure white snow;
'Tis Christmas time,when love abounds;
And comes wrapped up in a neat little bow...
Its the time when families re-unite,
Come together to feast and pray,
But it tears my heart,to see an orphan's eyes
Oh woe,to be alone on Christmas day...

NIGHT

Night,she walks on silent stones,
Through the misty quilted sky
And slips into my weary bones
She wipes my tears dry...
Beside my bedside, she sings a song,
She sings an endearing lullaby;
And tells me stories, fantastic,long,
Of treasures golden,of days gone by...
She tells my mind, to rest awhile
Rejuvenate, tomorrow be whole
For today,i'd walked a hundred mile
To reclaim my stolen soul...
And believe the stars that hold my plight,
To rest my head in her bosom, to sleep
Until She no longer sees me weep;
She slowly slips away,into daylight...
