Feast on the Now

Get up and let the light in
or what little is left at least.
Feast on life as it passes by
for I wouldn't expect it
to return anytime soon.

What we have is now
and now is gone
as quickly as you read
this word.

So, feast on the now.
Feast on life as it passes by
for it won't be
returning soon.

**Inspired by a random thought that I should, "maybe get up and open the shades a little." lol.**

Meditate Upon a Memory

For Dad

Dont hide away
Don't make it like it all didn't matter
Memories make people who they are to us
Eventually memories are all we'll have

So take a minute to listen
Take a minute to pause
to meditate upon a cause
Known only unto you
Meditate upon a memory, if you will
Think about the good times
That you said can last forever

Always the optimist
despite a desolate situation
but don't hide it all away
and make it like it all didn't matter
Meditate upon a memory, if you will
think about the good times
Eventually memories are all we have

Monsters

*written to the instrumental for Atmosphere's "Vampires"*

I do believe in monsters
they live internally
infernally burning
they're yearing
to take their turn on me
So I learned to see
past the glamour and glare
and keep my manner fair
as long as stamina's there
but a man is impaired
by that which does define him
it blinds him
yet in his own mind reminds him
of what he strives to be until lies impeded
but truth is subjective
we reply to needs
some rely on greed to achieve
their petty dreams
and conjour petty schemes
not readily seen
yet still they steadily stream
and leak into society
prying it open
got you crying and hoping
while slowly dying from doping
on societies potion
your eyes need to open
and look inside for the token
best to keep it tight
or else it might just get broken
through the sight and the spoken
the monsters are provoken
and awoken inner demons
means the scheme is set in motion.

So how did today go? It's like my halo is day-glo
