Neopoet Renga 1

Where world powers clash
the heart of insomniacs
overcome by dreams

Peace was never in the plan
even with the simple clans

For who can find peace
when both thoughts and battles rage
among hearth and kin ?

Mostly we learn from parents
what is it the child learns then?

No one lights their way
in this world darkened by storms
unknown right from wrong

Fear with hate insidious
learned from lightning strikes long past

Mind in soggy dreams
or breathing the fog between
there is room for all

I shall search loves memories
I know you are safe inside

Remember the dreams
of many new vistas seen
there to be with you

Hidden mountainside cabin
hearth warming conversation

Shelter from unseen
solace of the leeward face
by the fire side

Meanwhile fierce storms rage outside
buffeting our private world

Inner sunshine glow
eyes at steamy window peer
oblivious mood

So we peer and fear what's there
until we simply must act

Set for a new dream
insomniac heart awake
venture to the storm

Tangled up in tree branches
lightning strike blows me away

Timeless energy
seeking out the point of life
feeds my wayward soul
