Literature

Illusion Of Happiness

Illusion of Happiness if the night is for dreaming what is the day for if we can lay our weary head down allowing dreams to spin what may we do in the light of day could not a dream last or will it wither away upon the dawning this is a question that resides within me upon most mornings for dreams can lead us to wonderful places where love exists just before the light of day comes to us like a splash of cold water ending the illusion of happiness but oh if the dream could only last into the day how would our life be

Me by BenHammonds, literature

Literature

Me

Me having felt the strong wind of change as it blew across my weary brow I had to realize the passing of time taking the me I once knew away in trade leaving a me I know not but with each morning I rise to meet me the me that is here when I open my eyes an' I find the adventure in the learning just who that "me" is now, today as I walk through my daily journey, being "me" but as surely as the wheel turns, I know that the winds never stop blowing time away an' that my days are numbered upon this land

When One Circles when one circles and circles trying to find something anything to land upon you tire of the flight that flight that once was freedom you circle wearily now aged wings still soaring loosing their momentum slowly slowly gliding down down down seeking a place to rest when one finds themselves circling not flying toward distant horizon line then it is time to look within to get acquainted with themselves as they now are, aged and tired but yet trying to fly

So Much by BenHammonds, literature

Literature

So Much

So Much oh so much of what I did, what was done through a lifetime of decisions, many not great I did just trying to get how I was feeling inside off of my mind, out of my mind's attention grasp trying to forget for a while how I felt, deep within and all those decisions led me to where I now am in a rut, caged within the bars of depression always wanting to escape myself, my emotions those gray clouds that seem to follow me about but yet when the opportunities came along I never seemed to see them for what they were always doing other things, temporary relief instead of taking full advantage of life's offered gifts I traded them all for a l

Living This Life by BenHammonds, literature

Literature

Living This Life

Living This Life living this life, day to day from youth to an aged introspection I have been out on that hard wire where dreams die and fall by the wayside dropping them like leaves from a grand old tree in Autumn until one day you just live, the dreams are gone you go through the motions, but never expecting anything riding along, not at the wheel, but still there within is a little glimmer of desire, a hope for something to fill your emptiness once again even though you know not what I would be

Saguaro (Beauty Infinite) by BenHammonds, literature

Literature

Saguaro (Beauty Infinite)

Saguaro ( Beauty Infinite ) the desert wind blows around the standing saguaro arms reaching to the heavens, some bent, some broken but yet they stand amid desert's splendor an' sandy flora gila lizards laying within the shade of some, waiting for the heat of day to relax it's hold upon the earth while that desert wind drifts the clouds across azure skies and I stand among it all, soaking up the beauty which no human tongue can describe with any success it is a moment in time, when all is just right the sun lays at the right angle, casting shadows all falling in the right manner to blend together causing one such as I to become awestruck an
