•*Yawning In The Morning*• Waking me from the deepest sleep The rudest alarm, 'beep beep beep' From under duvet my arm does move Find the button, hit the snooze So warm and comfy safe and sound A sweeter spot could not be found In an instant, back to dreaming Every moment drenched in meaning Very soon, Before you know it That noise again, be cool don't throw it Rising from your happy place Wipe that sleep from off your face Arms out stretched, embrace this morning Into the world my head goes yawning

A Blinding Light Shines All is quiet in this town The residents left long ago Leaving in a hurry Leaving all they couldn't carry No looking back When the government built it No one knew it would fall Now it was not safe But quiet it certainly was A new resident has moved in The stench of death It is everywhere For even tho they ran they couldn't run fast enough or far enough Nor could they in the next town or the next The only movement now, that of the clouds in the sky and the breeze on the trees Nature reclaiming bricks and mortar Street turning to pasture New #life finds a way Old memories fade away On the horizon a blinding light shines bright A glimmer of hope? There's always hope...

Vacancy It's certainly been a while... It feels a #lifetime. ...there are no excuses. Only silence. The Faintest whisper, noise then follows Making full all that's hollow. From none to all the needle sways Good times once more are on their way Happy days are back again Even when it's freezing dark Your light shines bright And warms my heart

•• A Mystery •• How do they grow seedless grapes??

<• Big Fish Small Pond •> The little fish swam in the small pond. He was bored of #life there, swimming round and round all day everyday. So today he decided to head up the stream, to see #life beyond the small pond. The stream became a river. He appreciated the freedom but he still wanted to push on. Soon he found himself on top of a waterfall. He did not want to go back. He couldn't. So the only way was forward over the edge. Helpless in the waters flow he tumbled over into the pool below. Onwards he must go. Soon the river became wider and wider until the little fish was in the sea. As far as the fish could see and beyond an infinite world of all kinds of wonder and peril. The little fish felt excited but then scared. He felt a long way from home. He missed his little pond, the safety of familiarity. He missed his family and friends. The little fish turned and swam back as fast as he could the way he had come. Against the current he headed back up the river. When he came to the waterfall he jumped up and up until he broke through to the top. He felt strong from all the swimming. He was content he knew what was out there in the world beyond. All his hard work had been worth it. As the little fish came up the stream to his little pond he felt happy. He could not wait to tell his friends of his adventure. His friends could not help notice how much he had grown. Now he was one of the big fish. The small pond provided him with everything he could ever wish for. A big fish in a small pond. And that was enough for him..
