If I Had A Song

If I Had A Song

***

If I had a song
I would sing it to you
It would be true

I would not be blue
But I'm just lying here
Wasting away, it seems
I'm a waste product of my time

Oh, I don't want to 
Cry away my days
This is the time
Time is upon us now, too
Put away

The past tired of feeling all this
Anger deep inside its time
To let it float away

In these times
Madness
Surrounds
Suffocating 
Inside

Try to sleep at night
You'll seeee
Pain 
Stays for me

Once upon a time there, lived a boy
That Grew into a man. 
There must be some happy stories left to tell
I would tell perhaps, but I'm alone

Oh, so show me clearly, show me true
All you see, I know you do
Left me to change 
All at once

It's new
Its new 
Chain of Love
It's true

If I had a song
I would sing it to you

If I had a song
I would sing it to you

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
