The sun slowly drifted away and shadows crept in
The air slightly cooler as the darkness deepened
Creatures scurrying to their dens while still light
Others waking up to welcome the dark night

Edge of the world trimmed in pink, purple, orange, gold and red
Like apologizing for the colorless black night ahead
The moon and planets debuting in the sky
With constellations and stars of summertime

Scary ragged black shapes silhouetted against the sky
Reaching upward with crooked branches way up high
Black bats flitting around catching tiny buzzing wings
While a large ground chorus is warming up to sing

A mist on the pond like a low cloud from the sky
Adding a mystic air to the night-time cries
Floating like a ghostly mass across the earth
Providing cover for many night-time critters to lurk

Soon several mixed voices fill the night-time air
Soothing the soul like a bedtime prayer
Open windows inviting the night sounds in
Drifting to sleep by the Lullaby on the wind

"You Can't Fix Stupid" is a valid conclusion from comedian Ron White
overwhelming proof witnessed convinced me he's absolutely right
Of all that is broken in life maybe most likely irreparable is humanity
repudiate if you must but human behavior is succumbing to insanity

Belittling others masks displeasure with oneself and it's easier to do on-line
like a child you punish by denying CANDY... responses turn into whine
I don't like humans much because they're so FAKE and morally sinking
fully trust I cannot knowing deceiving has become easier than blinking

I too ascertained because one is educated doesn't mean they're intelligent
academics instantly display arrogance but the intellect is less than evident
THE LEFT is all the reason needed to believe "You Can't Fix Stupid"
constant lying nonsense they exhaust isn't symbolic of anything lucid

People dodge reality while unconditionally worshipping an unfounded being
believers and opponents argue their side which always results in disagreeing
"People Can't Handle The Truth" and why they choose not to I understand
some likely deem my writes "Stupid" but behind everyone I firmly stand

Stupidity permeates our world and a huge majority falls out of peoples yap
we mustn't give up on "Fixing Stupid"...maybe 'Watson' will create an App

Coffee in hand I glance out to a mesmerizing glisten atop morning dew
St. Augustine turns picturesque as Cardinals and Jays parade their Red and Blue
Violent Thunder and Lightning nightly has made restful sleep impossible to attain
venturing outside not an option due to the influx of Mosquitoes from all the rain

A 'Low' in the southern Gulf looks to be creeping towards the coastal shore
now it's Tropical Storm Cindy bound to further saturate ground not needing more
Occasional nasty incessant weather a disappointment vacationers learn to shake
the worlds Whitest Beaches will soon beam down all the Sun you can take

Beach functions and the refreshing Gulf waters local folks missed out on too
condition's negated outside fun but great dining and dancing got people through
On the brighter side Sunless sky has provided a break from oppressive heat
all the beautiful Nature that envelopes N.W. Florida is pretty hard to beat

The shadow of your past lingers on
Like a soft petal of a rose
Frozen in your memory
Alas she found you, called out
And those frozen moments of time come alive

Unfurled, like a dream that shook you
In the wake of dawn
And like a dew that moistened the ground, her lips aching for you to drench,
Harvest it's glorious sweetness only you can, ,,trigger that pleasure she sorely miss in your absence.

Oblivion took reign of your existence
For a while nothing exists between you and her
And why not, she only left you temporarily
She told you, once her wings are full of silver and gold,
Like an eagle she will fly back to you
She promised

Now her future filled with the security of
What money can buy, alas she's back
If only to taste you one more time.

Perhaps even for a lifetime.

Don't worry about me, I surely understand.
I just knew it is just a matter of moments.

And so it is. I'm free and that's all that matters.

Good luck.

And yes, I have no regrets.

I can only thank you for the memories.

I want to taken away from this world on the same wings
The same wings that gracefully carried you away
As I stand on this my judgment day
I want the same wings to carry me high into the sky
I am ready and I have said my goodbye’s

I want to be carried away
On the same wings that swooped down and caught you that day
I want them to carry me so high and place me be beside you

So we can smile, laugh, cry and sing
The way we used to when we were kids
Do you remember the swing

I want to sit beside you and show you my life
Full of memories I had as I wished you were by my side
I hope you watched me as I laughed, I loved I lived my life
Sometimes my sadness could not be disguised
As I looked to you, I looked to the skies

I wanted to ask you
Why you left so early without saying goodbye
Why you walked away that day
Why you decided to take your own life

Now that I see you I just wanted to say
I was never the same after that day
I was sad inside for what was taken away
But I decided to live my life knowing
I would see you again one one day

I would we would smile, laugh, cry and sing
Together we would giggle as we remember the swing.

It's really not feasible for one to know another Inside Out
everyone shelters things inside they dare not talk about
What's most disheartening to me is being misunderstood
If it were possible to always be my true self I would

When people speak of me 'After I'm Gone' I hope truth is included
like raising a wonderful daughter by himself deserved to be saluted
Also his compassionate heart was made of genuine precious gold
and thinking of himself first never happened if truth be told

Ronnie was humble while epitomizing selflessness and clever
in every fiber of his being lived integrity and fake he was never
Helping others was all desire and moral character stayed in place
a real life Old Fashioned Gent who induced laughter with true grace

Also he wasn't 'Willing' or just couldn't stop treating women too good
honest, Benevolent, Tenderhearted, and Genuine he firmly stood
It appears I'm simply tooting my own horn but I promise I'm not
just want the facts told 'After I'm Gone' Six feet underground to rot

somber grey masses
thunder and lightning rolled
quietening the birds

In my heart, in my past lives
I must have been a female; -
(Not that I would be one now, -
And all that would entail).

It just feels right, when I see
A pretty pair of eyes;-
To drown in her deep ocean, -
Would come as no surprise.

Trees so silent in winter months
now flowering with blossoms,
waving and shouting,
youho, hello.
The winds are vengeful
bringing sweet colours to the floor.
Coating the ground pink, and
thoughts of red cherries galore.
A lightness of heart.
A warming of the soul.
Catching a glimpse of nature
not so different from our own.
I shout a hye to the skies
and my buddies the trees.
We will lift our heads high
and welcome the sun
and keep branching out,
for when all said and done.
Life is sweet,
as sweet as my trees.

Billions of believers claim there god is truth while all others spew lies
I too was blinded by faith until reality thankfully uncovered my eyes
Common sense says Father's wouldn't let "their children" suffer everyday
that cockamamy "free will" card is apparently the only one you can play

My bad! "He has his reasons" is the other sickening response I always hear
maybe every horrifying death is to remind us it's only him we need fear
Humanity wants their to be a god with a heavenly place awaiting...I get it!
don't outright dismiss that behind something so preposterous could be bullshit

It's insane that people just accept the outrageous stories man wrote in a book
when you fell victim to fallacious promises of an unfounded god you got took
Religion is reason for countless slaughtered throughout the history of mankind
negating real life relations to put a mythical deity first defines a loco mind

The infallible said there is no other god mankind better put any faith in
to deny me as your Lord and Savior would be an abominable sin
If you dare view George Carlin's "Religion is Bullshit" on YouTube please
besides laughing you may get why he and others feel religion is a disease
