Ability to Wait

How do you wait in hope, in fear
For an unknown man to come by here
To bring you to an unremembered home?
How can a blind man roam?

How can you wait with hope and grit
For someone to pull you from the pit?
How is it done in patience or joy?
What strategy do you employ?

How do you wait and be prepared
With happiness you have gladly shared?
How can you sing a tune with glee
While waiting patiently?


God bless,

Whiny

I have a complaint today, good sir
And this is my complaint
I would like to complain, good sir
Without the least restraint
Complain about bullfrogs making noise
Complain about dogs and chew toys
Complain about leaders losing poise
Because this here is the thing, good sir
I am not a saint



God bless,

Riddle in Rhyme

I breathe and have a nose
But do not have a face
My value simply grows
Year by year in pace
Spitting me are those
Called Lord and Liege and Grace
Yet I give blissful throes
That no poet would abase
What am I?


The answer for those that are not sure (and even for those that are)


God bless,
>P<

Silly Melancholy

Silly strings cover things in chaotic ways
Valley voles are very cold in the winter days
Budding boughs caked in crows high above my head
Lilting lies and pudding pies sending me to bed
Once more I dream sputtering steam of days that ne'er were
And up in a home I'd never grown like the one my heart longs for

God bless,
>P<
