Pickle me Riddle

Diddle the stew
What shall we come to,
What shall we do?

Where shall we make
The quaint pack a wrong wrack
Where shall we stake
The map on the track.

Hard words.

Cannot concentrate.

No, that makes it seem so dull
So low.
What shall we do?
Was soll ich tun?

Breathe. Just breathe Kristen.
It will be alright. Don't
Don't let the anger come.
Don't let the tears fall.

Ah, but if only, if only
If only brilliance like the stars....
(she cuts her own thought off)

Where?
Where??
WHERE?!??!
Show me.
So sue me.
Take me with you?

Hey, Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
For a ride.

Woke up this morning,
Was feelin quite weird
With flies in my beard
And my toothpaste was smeared...

Ah, no, but not smeared toothpaste!

What, for inspiration we look to...
"Some call me..."
She stops herself again, fearing the number of the beast.

CRAP! I've forgotten already!

But what shall we do?

What can't we do, why don't we think about that for a change.

"Ah, but you have beautiful eyes"
"Really?"
"No, but I don't mind lying if it will get me somewhere."

Lying in the shade perhaps?
Shading in the lie?
Shade in the black lie that your falsities may befall you.
But whence came this stabbing?

Back stabbing? Thrashing.
Racing?
I hate driving.

Help Help Our Boy is Drowning in Soup!

Dream

If you are the night's cry,
I am the sea's moan.
If you are the sun's beam,
I am the tree's shade.
If you are the silk hand of a dream,
I am the darkness that takes you in.
If you are the world,
Then I am everything.

Atea Lynn (age 11)

Eclipse

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
Beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

There is no dark side of the moon really. matter of fact it’s all dark.


Pink Floyd

from King Lear

Edmund.
Thou, Nature, art my goddess; to thy law
My services are bound. Wherefore should I
Stand in the plague of custom, and permit
The curiosity of nations to deprive me,
For that I am some twelve or fourteen moonshines
Lag of a brother? Why bastard? Wherefore base?
When my dimensions are as well compact,
My mind as generous, and my shape as true,
As honest madam's issue?Why brand they us
With base? With baseness? Bastardy? Base? Base?
Who, in the lusty stealth of nature, take
More composition and fierce quality
Than doth, within a dull, stale, tired bed,
Go to the creating a whole tribe of fops
Got 'tween asleep and wake? Well then
Legitimate Edgar, I must have your land.
Our father's love is to the bastard Edmund
AS to the legitimate, if this letter speed,
And my invention thrive, Edmund the base
Shall top th' legitimate. I grow, I prosper.
Now, gods, stand up for bastards.

~Shakespeare

Where two or three have gathered,
You have promised to be there.
In your promise, we have gathered,
Trusting in your love and care.
You have called us into your presence
Turn our hearts and minds to you
That together we may gather strength
For what you would have us do

By the life you lived among us
You have taught us how to live
By your mercy and compassion
You have taught us to forgive
By your justice, Lord, you have shown us
What the reign of God must be.
By your cross and resurrection
You have set your people free.

Through the clear baptismal waters
You have claimed us as your own
We are one in you forever
Never strangers or alone.
In your love and truth we are nurtured
As a seedling grows and thrives.
From our waking to our sleeping
We will praise you with our lives.

As the darkness falls around us
With the coming of the night
Only dimly we can see the path
And we hunger for your light
You have set the stars in the heavens
And the radiant moon as sign
You will guide us through the darkness
We will see your glory shine.

As the blazing sky at sunrise
Speaks the glory of your name
Let our lives declare your glory
And the covenant we claim.
Make us brave and faithful apostles;
Give us vision clear and true.
Pour us out like living water
Until all are one in you.
