Looking
Looking
(the beginning of a journey)
Streets as dark as dark can get
Skies as black as blackest jet
I walk these hopeless paths and yet....
Keep looking, I keep looking.
There in the night, a distant light
There in the light, a dim lit sight
I run to see if I am right.....
For looking, always looking.
Too many times, too many days
I've lost my treasure, lost my ways
Grabbed hold so tight, they slipped away....
But continued looking, continued looking.
There is a place, I know, for me
And I will know it when I see
An oasis from this world, will be.....
If I keep looking, just keep looking.
My footsteps, slower now, with age
My life, words, on a yellowed page
My heart, a sad thing in a cage.....
Beats faintly, but still looking, looking.
Love, it calls my unknown name
Like taunting children at a game
Life, it changes, but stays the same....
And I go on looking, I go on looking.
Then up ahead, around a curve
A bright light rises from the swerve
And welcomes me with smile and verve....
And I stop looking, I stop looking.
(the ending)

A Meaningful Life
Love's Rain
Life without love
Is an lonely place
A star with no shine
And no gleaming
Life without love
Is a bitter taste
A life muddled through
With no meaning
Life without love
Is a tiresome thing
Running in circles
In vain
But life, like a desert
Can bloom like a garden
When that dry dust
Is drenched with love's rain.

This is a painting a friend did of me
Like Puddles On An Asphalt Street (An Oldie From Voo's Vault)
Like Puddles On An Asphalt Street
Round and round this life, it goes
And where it stops, the Good Lord knows
Like puddles on an asphalt street
The silver water cool and sweet
Each tear that falls is gathered up
And safely stored inside His cup
And poured upon the soul's parched land
Where roses spring forth from His hands
Tears turn to rivers and then to tides
Of mighty oceans far and wide
And then are used to wash us clean
From the deaths of our old dreams
Down comes the rain made of our tears
And down the drain go all our fears
Round and round this life, it goes
And where it stops, the Good Lord knows.

Rat In The Trap (Another Oldie From Voo's Vault)
Rat in the Trap
The rat lay there in the trap
His beady little eyes imploring me
To let him go, his tiny tail twitching
His minuscule heart beating so hard the trap jumped.
Never mind that he had eaten all the cheese
And the chocolate and the cream
Never mind that he had gnawed my silk dress
And the dyed to match shoes that went with it.
For months he had terrorized the cat
Driven the dog into fits of anguish
Jumped over ottomans and eaten through walls
Undoing all the interior decorating.
I stood there staring at him in my victory
Remembering all the rat poison that he had left
In my best crystal bowls, in my coffee cups
Little revengeful surprises moved from under the sink.
He really was amazing, I gave him that
So resourceful in his will to survive and torment
Damn your rodent hide! I finally said and lifted him by the tail
Walked over to the house next door and threw him in the window.

Meanwhile, a little homeless girl finds her way into the house
"Hey, Lady, will you be my mommy?"
