I sought
the beautiful thoughts
Seeking
the most beautiful words
Searching
to know the intangible
essence of all
the beauty I could behold

Gathered memories
Stored then unearthed
To gaze upon in solemnity
and remember the best

The touch of a loved one
The moments sublime
Smiling memories
of my children
A glimpse of
The Devine

Treasured eternal moments
that never slip away
The joy and grandeur
of a few seconds
In memory held still
to cherish in my mind

Still in such a moment
the remembrance of
insufferable pain
But yet though
the tragic beauty of
eternal moments
forever still remains.

My generation was raised
on Hard Rock and Motown.

The younger generations
cannot make up for the lack
of a good education.

Hold your religion
tightly in your fist

Clench it often.

-R.

Waking up hostile
keeps my mind
reasonable clear
A reason for existence
When there is nothing left
of all that I once held dear

Righteous indignation
constant as a plague
Brutal vicious sense
of vengeance that
is overwhelming
over me

Arising to do battle
Awakening in force
Confronting all that tells me
to forget it and just go on

I do walk on
Mile after mile
Listening to the thoughts
coursing through my mind

Surely I know
I am then
tasked and able
to recover what
then was mine
And once again
will be my own

Surely I walk on.

Revolution is in the air
Like a morning mist
that lingers

Cool and not oppressive.

I'm winging it on a rainbow
Surely I will find
That place where
the rainbow touches earth
with golden mist Devine

Within the hills
beside the wind-swept
crystal seas divide
I will await you there

Knowing there to find
the missing moments
Once now but not
forever lost in time

Sheltered there from storm
Awakened there from sleep
The part and participle
of a life forever stoic
beyond the oppressive tide.

Wing it on a rainbow
Touch it and you will shine

As the rainbow touches earth
with the golden mist
of the Devine.

I will await you there.

-The Village Idiot
  (Stupid Is)

You've heard it said;
Stupid is as Stupid does
But really now
Stupid is as Stupid
keeps doing

Ignorant ways
and idiot thoughts
Act the fool 'cause
that's all you are

I'd tell you to
get up and go
but you already
got up and went

Another fools errand
for which you have
so foolishly been sent

The village idiot
The county fool
What is the problem
Didn't we send you
to school?

We've heard it said;
Stupid is as Stupid does
But really now
Stupid is as Stupid
always has.
