Poetry, lyrics, other words and art…
I see the orange and purple sky on the horizon
And I feel pacified
Everything is going to be alright
I watch the gentle rain assiduously bathe the earth
And I feel afresh
Everything is going to be alright
I hear the distant, unbridled laughter of a child
And I feel a smile play upon my face
Everything is going to be alright
I see the love in my wife’s eyes as she says goodnight
And I feel blessed as she says
Everything is going to be alright
Don’t count me in
I’m leaving again
Your horses are dragging me down
Like clouded sun rays
You ruin my days
I don’t want to see you around
But the only way out
And away from your pout
Is for me to go back out to sea
Where the air is much fresher
Without you and your pressure
Just horizons that beckon to me
First off, thank you so much, Jenna, for including me in this delightful challenge! Tell The Story Challenge is such a fun way to express a variety of talents from our dear friends here on WP …
Clouds descending upon Castle Bright
As day turns into ominous night
Screeching of creatures hide in the mist
While a fog envelops and the air it crisps
How can chaos arise in here
Where once was day and sunshine clear
Elves and fairies and trolls alike
Borrow and scamper or take to flight
Escaping in panic leaving all behind
Lest the evil that stalks become their brine
Where is the hero who guards the gate
Deterring the enemy that loves to hate
Tis more than lunch or afternoon tea
That keeps the keeper of Castle Bright free
Has he found folly and paid the cost
Leaving us to suffer in a harrowing loss
Upon whose ears will the trumpet sound
Releasing the bonds of our castle and ground
Yet even as sorrow builds its army strong
A light in the distance and above the throng
Is hope that can pierce this deepening fright
As our castle guard returns – as a marvelous knight

If this is a dream
Of what sailors do
Then, sign me up sir
I’m the man for you
Cruising the seas
With waves that caress
Down below there be mermaids
Bearing their… souls
Well, what did you think I was going to say?
