U start off in anger of red
Then u start to be cool off
Acting all sweet
Shining brightly in yellow
Then shift in green mode
Where u give a surface
Blue cool like the water

Standing in the shadows
Of the forgotten years
Between the wars amongst our fathers
In the shape of mothers tears
Shadows growing long and heavy
Though not enough to cover fears
Standing in the shadows
Of the forgotten years

Standing in the shadows
As we're killing time
Always hoping for the day
To be saved by the light
Blending in the best we can
Whether day or night
Standing in the shadows
As we're killing time

Standing in the shadows
Because the shadow knows
There is nowhere else
For a soul to go
That has gone through all of this
So many times before
Standing in the shadows
Because the shadow knows

Everyone is afraid of it, the feeling of darkness and the icy coldness. The moment you see: no colours, no sounds, no light, nothing.
When you put your worth, in the people that surround you.
When you put your worth in the things that you do or say.
When you put your worth in what others might say about you.
When you put your worth in what you can do for other people.
Stop , quit selling yourself like this for each of you are worthy.
Just laid down your low self-esteem and pick up Christ purpose.
For one thing that God can not do and that is make junk.
He only creates beauty and Masterpiece, so quit calling yourself junk.
For you are worthy to be appreciated and loved by others for you are Gods Masterpiece.

I hear the colours
I smell the sounds

Carrying a lamp;
seeking other wanderers
lost in quests for truth.

Before any season
Had a chance to bloom
Or any star could set
The proper mood
The universe
Stretched and yawned
And then resumed
Leaving me with
An assumption
That I would have
Never assumed

It seems from the beginning
World peace was doomed...

I wish I may, I wish I might
I wish upon a star tonight
My future will be just as bright
In this world's delight.
I got the Idea to write this from a Disney song. I do not take credit for originality.

This is to pay homage to our very smart calico-color-cat
She talks too much even talks back and on her collar
a heart-shaped name-tag bears her name, "Reese"
being the lover of people...



You see, too many other behaviors so lovingly insane
she bears a reflection in short verse
I can only explain...

You see, she gives a parlor welcome
by rolling on the floor
our feline watchman
for the opening of the front-room door

You see, she sits so
like the sphinx
upon the sea of sand
so reverent, so silent, so grand

You see, she thinks she's Cleopatra
gliding across the room
chasing imagined whatevers
in an endless purring tune

You see, she likes to:
Side swipe, give a loving bite, bump a head,
be on our bed, dizzy dance, be in a trance
kiss her head, eat with love, tap our leg, and
open our bedroom door...WOW!!!

You see, watching furry *****,
her crumpled way to sleep
sleeping in many places curiosity to seek
and once upon your leg-bed
so cozy, so warm, so deep

You see, she's the lion in Africa
on an earthy colored rug
chasing toy animals
and an imagined turtle dove

You see, she drops her favorite toy
besides our bedroom door
making trust and love
will forever endure

You see she dashes up our steps
and flies all around;
practicing for tryouts- seemingly-
as a dashing circus clown

You see, with her sorcerer's spell
think or mention her name
then BAM!!...out of the blue
she's walking in your domain

You see, her hiding in foliage
is nothing but a chair
ready to playfully pounce
upon a toy duck in despair

You see, her eyes of staring wisdom
burrow right into you
A beautiful loving feline
from the university of feline U

You see, she gives us orders
what not to do
because her alma mater is feline U

You see, she's cat-dog-human
perplexing as can be
Makes one wanna climb
the highest nearest tree

You see, she licks her coat of colors
of Reese peanut butter candy cups
of brown and dark and milky chocolate
one of her many ups

After all, this list keeps growing
and must be cut short
I must collect my thoughts, for many things to sort...

Thank you and Reese says, "MEOW." (as always)
