Climbing Mountains Of Life

Climbing Mountains Of Life


***


In my visions 

Somethings 

Going down

Think it's time

To get out 

Of town


Climbed to the peak

Looked out to sea

Reflected on the fate

Of myself and

Humanity


Something in my

Heart was lost

Where had 

It gone 

Tried to sing

But I forgot

My song


Never dreamed

Life would 

Be this way

Alone in the 

Streets

Dreaming of

Yesterday


Wish I was honest

Wish I was free

To survive childhood

Changed in ways

That no longer

Serve me


Long long ago

My heart was torn 

Have felt lost

Since the day

I was

Born


My trust in life

Hurt as a child

Heart was 

Broken

To survive

In life I

Went 

Wild


My youth it passed

Sure went by fast

Didn't think bout

How nothing

Lasts


Let others 

Speak lies

Myself I will be

I am not 

Afraid

To be 

Me


Thought 

Bout a girl

Who was 

Loving 

Kind

Till she said 

It had to end

And blew up

My Mind


What happened to me

Can happen to you

This world is a lie

Nothing but love is 

True


One day

We can 

Have it all

Feel life 

Good 

Then the rugs

Pulled out

We

Take 

A fall


Looking for love 

At last I searched 

Inside 

I discovered a

Love that 

Never

Dies 


We all live

The story of Job

In our own way

No matter how great

Our Suffering

Trust and have faith

My children

The dark times

Soon will

Pass

Away

Missing Self

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
