April2020PAD - Nature

 Frozen

Everywhere I look I see it again.

Danger steps, I count all the way to ten.

Sunrays shine and brightens each branch

Giving glory to all that match.

The earth is bathed all over the ground.

Don't slip and fall or you'll be crowned.

April2020PAD - Social

 Social Insanity

I have alienated myself and family

to protect us from the calamity.

Dare I say to follow this code.

We have to stay off the road.

Follow the rules as if I was insane.

Goes to show that I have a brain.

Dependent on the greater whole

We can again take control.  

April2020PAD - Love/Antilove

 Eternal love on fire

Have you heard of this legendary love story

With a warrior and princess in all of their glory.

they wanted to marry and be together forever.

Defeat the enemy or come back never.

She was told her love had died in combat.

This caused her heart to stop, just like that.

He returned from the war to discover.

That there was no way to recover.

He built her an enormous burial.

Placing her on top, like a grand imperial.

Crouching, watching with his smoking torch.

Waiting for his love to awake on his front porch.

April2020PAD- Isolation

 Isolation, is it?

Run first thing and sweat it.

Eat your breakfast and enjoy it.

Go to work and do it.

Go to store and buy it.

Cover your face and avoid it.

Swim in the pool and drown it.

Stream netflix and veg it.

Read your scriptures and search it.

Bow your head and pray it.

Soon your isolation will end,  will it?

April2020PAD - Elegy

 Grandma's Cookies

At the store I see it all packaged up 

Does it make me want milk in a cup.

No way, nothing can still compare

You would think it was so rare.

It was something so small

But even today I can remember all.

She would bring them out frozen

Enclosed in a bread sack, she had chosen.

Open the bag, even frozen, I smell the oatmeal.

Biting into it, you know this is real.

Give it a little bit to unfreeze.

Don't forget to tell her thank you and please.

I have seen the recipe but that won't be the same.

I would hope that you can see it wasn't for the fame.

Was it the smell or maybe even the taste.

Nope it was her and her cookies never went to waste.

April2020PAD - Response

 Her Eyes

I could stare at them for hours.

Find myself lost by some unforeseen powers.

I dare not blink and try to guess

Why she would consider to say yes.

Yes her eyes are only part of her beauty

She really is the full package of a cutie.

I thank God that she has two eyes.

Each day i get a double surprise.

April2020PAD - Different Words

 My reflection

Bump I go into the night

Embraced by its awful fright.

A horror filled fixture appears,

with a howl that spins my gears.

It appears with a lonely shimmer

My resolve should be not to look in the mirror.

April2020PAD Day 15 - Dream

 The Race

A long time ago I dreamed a dream

I was in a race that starts in a stream.

My mom and I, We're in it to win it.

With the start of the race. I say "Wait a minute.

I forgot my shoes so our start is delayed.

Even with a strange course, we never strayed.

We passed all the others and won the race.

It was because we had a really good pace.

We took first place with a time of 6 and half.

Waking from the dream thinking this was no laugh.

My dream showed me that time remaining

On my mission should be for working and not complaining.
