The Plight of Lester Grynthal

The plight of Lester Grynthal

He’s got his eyes

But not his ears

On a history changing wall

So he can see

But cannot hear

The message leading to the fall

His future is his greatest fear

That is

If he’s got one at all

Need The Picture On The Box

Haven’t posted any writing for a while. I’ve been working on my structure edit for The Kite and the Coin Toss. This puzzle concept popped into my brain and I ran with it. It took me away for a little while, maybe that was just what I needed. Now…back to the book.

Don’t do as they do

Do as they say

Hippo Critters bite

If they don’t get their way

Control What You Can Control

Control What You Can Control

Worrying’s overrated

What has it ever done

For anyone

It’s passé, démodé and outdated

The olde-fashioned stressor

Second to none

 

Control what you can control

Control no more

Control no less

 

Control what you can control

Control yourself

Don’t second guess

Rise Up… Rise Up

Rise Up… Rise Up

Come on

Come on

 

Let’s rise above this hatred

 

Hell is open bordered

But Heaven is pearly gated

 

Come on

Come on

 

Come rise above the hatred

 

When a glance into a mirror

Reflects what you’ve been trained to fear

 

Rise up

Rise up

 

Then rise above the hatred

Love, Laughter And Lightning

Love, Laughter And Lightning

Oh love, laughter and lightning

May be our thing

But we’ll never clip the wings of angels

Never clip the angels’ wings

Such beautiful feathers

Such beautiful things

Worth so much more

On the backs of angels

Worth so much more

As angelic wings

Such beautiful things

Soaring high up above us

But we can still hear them sing

Over the sounds of our love

Our laughter and lightning

He Thinks He’s The Hunter... She Knows He’s The Prey

He Thinks He’s The Hunter... She Knows He’s The Prey

All the signs

They point the other way

The wind cries

“Save yourself!

Turn and run away!”

The sun hides

The moon rides

Its own tidal wave

Sees you’re frozen in your tracks

Knows you’re never coming back

Never saw it coming

Never make it through the night

Never see the light of another day

Should have taken off running

Should have run toward the light

Should have seen the danger coming your way

He thinks he’s the hunter

She knows he’s the prey

He thinks he’s the hunter

She knows he’s the prey

Til then

This heartfelt promise

Oh, I pen Gwen

 

From incubate to crack

Til then

This heartfelt promise

I pen Gwen

Oh, I pen Gwen

 

I penguin and I pen Gwen

Little House Big Home

Too many people

Take an elephant to mouse

When it comes to providing 

They want a big house

 

But to build a big home

Not that space that you need

But enough for the love 

And the mouths that you feed

 

So to raise a good family 

Make it rule one

 

Little house 

Big home

Big house 

Big home

And You Do

And You Do

In a world that’s unforgiving

It’s all taking and no giving

Save for me

I’ll do your bidding

Though they find our love forbidding

All I need is a message from you

Say it’s true

Say it’s true

Me and you

Say it’s true

 

And you do

You Stay You

You Stay You

As long as it’s not criminal

Stand out

Be an original

Don’t worry what the others do

Doesn’t matter

As long as you stay true

Doesn’t matter

As long as you stay you

You stay you
