Pale Shadows: Wednesday Wake-Up Call 03.10.12

Image: Chief Sitting Bull

Fog appears on the road.

A silence encompasses the land.

No past, no future, only present,

Only now, is at hand.

On the path are many travelers.

All traveling through time and space.

Floating along their pathless paths,

As pale shadows fill this place.

Walking, but not walking.

Clothed, but not clothed.

Smiling, but not smiling.

Dreams within a dream.

Talking, but not talking.

Weeping, but not weeping.

Dancing, but not dancing.

Dreams within a Dream.

On the path are many travelers.

Coming to restore this sacred place.

Wielding staffs of silvern light,

To live again in grace.

Fog rises from the road.

A silence encompasses the land.

No past, no future, only present,

Only now, is at hand.

Tides of Change

[Baut Images: High Tide]

The tides of change are coming.

The planet rotates on it's axis.

Lorna Doone plays the piano.

You sip a cup of tea,

Whilst I rid the skies of lies.

The tides of change are coming.

Species dying every day.

Miley Cyrus gets a ticket.

As Meatloaf burns in the oven,

And I play the game to win it.

The tides of change are coming.

More mercury in Blue-fin Tuna.

As banksters fill with dread.

So, read that book Priscilla,

As I write for the Ungrateful Dead.

The tides of change are coming.

As the grids break down once again.

And it's time for Project Runway to end.

So, go grab a muffin Amanda,

And I'll have a sandwich of sand.

The tides of change are coming.

Doesn't matter what one wants.

The battle is close at hand.

So listen to wind and water,

For it's happening across the land.

The tides of change are here!

The planet careens in it's orbit.

Elton John smashes his piano.

You sip a bottle of water,

Whilst I travel to the Isle in the Skye.
