The Oracle’s Temple

The Oracle’s Temple

by Lord R.e. Taylor

As you walk the stone path

The wind blows around you

Voices from millenniums past

Too soft to really hear

In a language that is long dead

Could they be warnings

Or could they be blessings

There is really no way to know

You must remember that you are an outsider

Not a worshipper of the ancient religions

Not one who would ever follow their words

So, the oracle’s temple will keep her secrets

And that may just be the best thing

After all, the future is not for us to know

And she knows that better than anyone

Writing Problems

Writing Problems

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Sometimes you want to write

You know what you want to say

You can feel the perfect emotions

Maybe you can see it in your dreams

But, no matter how hard you try

Those words are just not right

And these words are even worse

Nothing works for you except quitting

But we are stupid writers

We will never quit ever

Those words have to be written

And you have to be the one to write them

So, we get a cup of coffee

Turn the lights down, and we think

We thought and thought before we wrote that first word

And, of course, we misspell it and have to start over

Something Different

Something Different

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Every time she looks around

She sees something too different for her

She tries to understand it

But it is too confusing

So, she walks down the lonely street

Telling no one about it

It is her nightmare that haunts her

She no longer looks around

Never sees anything too different for her

So, finally, her mind rests

Say Goodbye

Say Goodbye

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Donuts, cookies, or whatever

You know they are not safe there

Especially when milk is close

They will be gone the minute you leave

The Eternal Lantern

The Eternal Lantern

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The lantern lights the darkness

Bringing a new vision to the forest

No one knows who brought it out

Or the reasons behind it

No one ever comes out to light it

Still, it burns eternally constant 

It burns for the lost,  

It burns for the waiting,  

It burns for the dawn yet to come.

Whatever it is or wherever it came from

And even though no one ever sees it

It is a legendary light of hope

Merry Christmas

 

Welcome To Earth

Welcome To Earth

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many things we do not know

Many more things we do not understand

Most do not want to talk about them

Others want to see the truth

But that is being kept secret

Locked away in unknown files

In the basement rooms no one knows about

However, the time has come

People want to see if we are alone

Someday, the files will be captured

Opened before the public

Only then can we welcome them

And we will no longer feel alone
