Aaah...tis mystical and magical
As I lie awake I view a world
So in dissaray, so quick to judge
A cold place to live
Then I close my eyes
And imagine an oh-so-seperate place
One of happiness and joy
Where each deed is a honored one
Those souls that love are praised

You never see it
The love that exists in this place
The news reports only chaos
Friends relay the juicy gossip
The mind is set on Regret
The heart is prone to break
Too fallible are we in this place
To prone to judge
Always full of a jealous rage

Wait! I do love
And happiness does visit occasionally
I see it in my writing
Oh, and in those masterpieces
Lying in wait for me to ponder
Basking in the release
The moment of time for me to read
Just one more piece
Another round for "The Corner Pub"

What inspired this?! Dunno...pure random thought I guess. But I do appreciate all of your words; even though I'm not here to comment that often. Thanks everyone!

Out of random thought may often come revelation.
Thanks for the round, Wikket.
I've found good thoughts are always welcomed here, at the Corner Pub.

Ah, Jamie, what nice warm thoughts to share on a Friday. It is good to have a place you feel safe and among friends.

Understand those feeling very well... yes indeed... and not just on a Friday... but somehow this place helps to throw a little light on the dark deeds of the world. Peace to you and yours.
