Ayear as a Poet

Howdi
  by Genki   元気

Faces on the TV
Figure on the Cross
Marketing a necktie
For showing to the boss.

Sleep comes very quickly
I spend much time away
I find myself, I'm sitting cocked
Just now is Judgement Day

This poem ain't got "deep meaning"
It shouldn't win a prize
First Testament to Life & Death
Reflections - What is Wise?

The family may be active
The children may be glum
We each approach a different world
the trite the bright the scum

I like the glare of sunlight
Interspaced with birds.
I like the sound of sitting still
Just breathing     without words...

Here? Hear?

The eye ignores its socket
Eyeglasses on use become forgotten

Windows to the outside world
Are noticed when removed
And fresh air blasts in.

Double-glazing
Filters on life
Windows on awareness
