Haunted World

Haunted world 

***

These words are haunted
These words, they are haunted 
See, the trees burn in the dark sky
See, the trees burning in the dark sky

Streams they flow with poison 
Streams they flow flow with poison 
I can hear the ghost of the ancestors dancing 
Sacred drums beating through the night 

I can hear the cars go by on the overpass. 
On I-89 North 
No matter how far I travel
I can still hear airplanes so high
Little Wilderness anymore

In the Arctic the Great powers 
engage in a cold war 
Over some of the greatest 
Oil and gas reservoirs 
Remaining on the planet 
Other priceless resources 
are located in the Arctic  
The race is on. 
Soon this cold war 
between the great powers 
will be mainstream news

This world this world
Well, it's haunted 
Well, it's haunted with the 
Ghost Of What Was Before

Can't you see it in the eyes 
Of the people that you see
When you're walking down 
the street every day
No one looks me 
Squarely in the eye 
Well, it's a Haunted World 
It's a Haunted World
It's a Haunted World

This world this world
Well, it's haunted 
Well, it's haunted with the 
Ghost Of What Was Before

This world this world
Well, it's haunted 
Well, it's haunted with the 
Ghost Of What Was Before

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
