"Archurus Comes" if you see a book in the sky it's not a trick to fool your eye you will know Archurus comes...Archurus comes when the clock on the wall is headed south out the exit hall you will know Archurus comes...Archurus comes did you think that you could really escape the wrath don't you know they know when you went off the path if you think the tale wasn't told because the memory has grown old it's still there Archurus comes...Archurus comes if your sitting on the ground when the parade comes to your town they will see Archurus comes...Archurus comes did you think that you could really escape the wrath don't you know they know when you went off the path (2010 db michel) This comes from an old memory...from a nightmare i had as a child...I was about 9 years old when i had the nightmare...It was scary enough that i remember it all these years later... I was sitting on the gutter on the side of the street as a parade passed by...and then i saw it...A car that looked like a book!...and Archurus was in the car...It wasn't how Archurus looked that scared me...It was the car that looked like a book!...He told me something about how i wasn't lazy enough and said that i was bad...and then drove away in his book...The dream scared me for reasons that i still don't understand...I'll never forget it...

What use is speech, what use is it to say Words that without an echo die away, And only leave vain sadness after? All a forest of shadows rings with laughter, If thou but move thy hand to grasp at life. My love, the path on which we laugh with life Pales in a doubt befogged with roads that leads not thorough; The night is triumphing with stars, towards to-morrow; In the night, thou sayest, shadowy terrors fall. Be undeceived, there is no night: There is only multiform, enormous light, And the stars are there, for thee to be drunk with all. Julie Detavernier (2010) rOZZ Music Pictures |

Another Oldie. Loss of Soul The loss of soul This is how it feels When one day you see That any hope you may have felt in youth Will not be realized The failure of a life Death throes of dreams tossed in the light For all that pass to see Withering the soul Blind, Those who pass… No comfort here This thing we will not see OFF TO YOUR LIVES Never seeing the death of a soul Another shattered outcast The invisible I fear this coming more than the pass Then the soul to recover Likely not But then who cares It is not theirs…smile Just another lost soul The story does not matter Or the loss © Jim Scott 3/14/2006 I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) |

The Soul rekindled The Soul rekindled Fought on into the darkness Found reasons to believe Found kindred Souls around the World And Rejoiced Found Some Justice...Made some Peace Found Reason to Hope and Laugh and Live Never Perfect...But some Small reasons to look to the Future with Hope Souls Touched to be Forever Remembered Pain Laughter and Sorrows Never to Forget The World Lives on Never needing Us And Hoping still that Man will Survive and Learn That some will Progress and learn to love What we Will Become And Remember we were Here ©Jim Scott 9/07/2010 I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) |

I second that, Jim :) I'd like that too, but unfortunately, you'll never hear one from me unless I plagiarize one. |

Another Oldie. River Flow As I sit and watch the river flow I wonder where my life will go And as I watch the clouds go by I wonder if they ever die And still I watch the seasons pass From winter cold to summer grass And when the light of reason fails I cry © Jim S, April,1973 I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) |

Ya...I had only been in the Army 6 months. I still remember the day. It was sunny and I had parked by the Ohio River to think...When i looked up in the sky there was a row of light clouds but mostly clear though. And this one row of was fully connected and had three perfectly Identical crescent rolling waves in a row. Ohh, The bad old/good old days seen through innocent eyes. ;-) Jim I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) |

Just a continuation... Life is calm, Even as this evening of sweet summer, now The bird is silent on the bough, That bends above the river, whose needs no longer quiver; And the pacific night and wise Sleeps without a shuddler under cloudless skies. Julie Detavernier (2010) to be continued...(?) rOZZ Music Pictures |
