ALOHA PROMISES FOREVER

Dreamz Express - Train Under Northern Lights

There's Maybe Nothing Better
by Michael Doyle

There is maybe nothing
That could be any better
However bright or gloomy
The day has turned the weather

Than spending this Sunday afternoon
Watching dreams with my daughters
Hearts overflowing with joy soon
Watching Rudolph with their father

There's nothing like a yesterday
Memory to pull us on through
Except all of our tomorrows 
Waiting for dreams to come true

Learning that in a loving world
There is room enough for others to fit
And that no one really
Truly is born to be a misfit

Each person has a place
To feel love and not be lost in fear
Where friends openly embrace
For Christmas and the rest of the year

We learn to be together
Accepting the differences for their good
We can have a world that is better
And as good as it ever could be understood

Why should there ever be a place to hide
Like and island for so called misfit toys
Yet there is one more lesson to confide
That love rules the hearts of girls and boys

As you grow up, you cannot outrun
The troubles that will follow you
But that's okay as each is as if one
Together; allowing every heart to be true

Silent Beauties by Fly Kugin - The Click of the Clack, Written On An Old Tack

With Contented Sigh
by Michael Doyle

No matter how much
Of this world, Atlas carries
On his tired old back
It's the writer's touch
That moves or buries
The feelings we too often lack

Turning it on, page after page
Conveying the feelings we want to say
Hinted at or said straight forward
It's the click of the clack of the sage
That touches our souls in our everyday
It somehow keeps us pushing toward

While the Devil oversees our due
Demanding his pound of flesh well worn
Until we've said all we are meant to say
Looking down on our words, meager in his view
Pressing onward, crawling since we were born
This is the methods take of a writer's day

As life comes and we try not to cringe
Bravely we face the world in bemusement
Wondering and wandering until finally we die
Moments felt like the longest sort of binge
As scene by scene, we play out our amusement
Until at last we leave this world with contented sigh
