Flying Into The Heart Of The Sun

Flying Into The Setting Sun

***

Driving into the setting sun
Life on automatic pilot
Momentum pulling under
Dark stormy seas
No stars above 
Guiding the way
There is no one
Death and decay 
Triumphs in day
He believed 
His blood a sacrifice 
Dreamed of empty streets 
He searched for love
How he searched 
Missing what was key
He lifted the chalice 
Eyes black as coal
The world screams
He cannot hear
Impermanent passing dream
The light inside 
Still shines
Flesh and blood
Passing on
Floating by
His sun setting in the sky

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
