When Right and Left Intertwine

Along the road there comes a time

When right and left intertwine

All the people in their cars

Faceless stares blank as dolls

Routine takes hold of lives

Auto pilot, coast on by

Chances lost doors are closed

Risk averted as time goes

Along this road a time will come

When all the people see their numb

Thoughts of life will flood their minds

Hopefully they shall find

That when right and left intertwine

Risk and chance is so divine

Be the one who lives for life

Not afraid to roll the dice

Happiness is said to be

Man's best chance at being free

So when the time comes on by

Take some chances and you shall fly.

Tick Tock

Artist:  Randy Sturridge

Chop the lumber splintered wood

Stack the logs inside the shed

Close the hatches secure the locks

Closely watch the clock Tick Tock

Have some bread enjoy some milk

Threatening winds upon the door

Threaded sweaters layered thick

Listen closely as the old clock Ticks

Grab the quill dip it in ink

Point to parchment begin an entry

Thunder growls after flashes bright

The clock ticks on into the night

Tempatures drop old faithful clock stops

Logs and flint bring a fire to life

A flurry erupts and envelopes the night

A blizzard stops time locked and resigned

Company vacant in these times of sleet

As mother nature screams so violently

Burying shelters and cabins in snow

The clock is stopped though time does go

Days weeks for it could be months

A reprieve from the tumultuous bizzard void

Ticking of a clock can drive all insane

When locked indoors for weeks in a cage

Resigned to allow minds to transcend

The watching of time drain til blizzards end

Enlightened Wanderers

Knowledgeable gestures upon the face

Unwavering faith laced with grace

Humility articulated from day to day

Tranquil empathy habitually conveyed

Blackened attire wholesome images

Compelling influence with boundaries limitless

Soul filled trust and grateful thoughts

Ensures troubled minds for happiness sought

Enlightened wanderers lifted from despair

By the hands of wisdom and welcoming care

Guiding light provided to all

Rejoice now friends and stand up tall

Futures bright with guided light

Thank every man every day and night.
