Nine Circles
I’ve undertaken a journey Through the circles of Hell My guide is named Dante Seems to know them quite well Said he’s been here before And he’s seen one and all Seems he once had arisen After taking a fall There’s a sign up ahead Says your hope, leave it here My throat feels so…

Tale of the Time Traveler
They refused to believe I could travel through time Said that I was insane I’d forsaken my mind Taken leave of my senses I should be locked away In the nearest asylum For the rest of my days And they could not believe I’d seen rises and falls I was there as a witness Yes,…

Manhattan Nights
Manhattan night So cool and clear I walk alone ‘Cause you’re not here I see the lights They beckon me Out on the town Life flowing free Streetside vendors Sell their wares While couples laugh Without a care The city calls I’m going home Walk up the street Tonight alone ©The Beginning At Last

Back To Nature
A peaceful wood A quiet day So serene In every way Sit silently And take it in Thoughts of where You’ve gone and been They flow just like A river long As Nature sings Her soothing song ©The Beginning At Last

Pompeii
A city once so strong and proud Lies buried ‘neath an ashen shroud Pumice rain from mouth of Hell The mountain starts to shake and swell As panicked hordes attempt to flee A devil’s cauldron flows so free A testament to Nature’s ways We are witness to the final days ©The Beginning At Last

Autumn Rain
In the cool Autumn rain I go walking alone To partake in the gifts Mother Nature has shown The rain on the leaves Sound soothes me inside Out here with yourself There is nothing to hide You can let your mind roam Let it drift far away It’s just you and the woods On this…

Arrogance (The Taste of Ego)
Arrogance personified Wear a cloak of pure conceit Steal from me and claim as yours The world should kiss your feet You think that you are subtle And you think that you are sly One day it will come crashing You will stare and wonder why And I will be there laughing Laughing at your…

Within Myself
Giving up No will to fight I have these thoughts Most every night There is no point There is no end I block it out It plays again A constant loop Within my mind How you must know I’m not your kind Alone I sit Alone I’ll stay Within myself I’ll spend my day ©The…

Take A Moment
In a beautiful glade Sits a maiden so fair For a moment in time She has hardly a care It is moments like these We should cherish and hold So infrequent they come In a world that’s so cold Take a moment for peace Take a moment for love Take a moment to dream As…

Autumn of Rebirth
Trees of orange, red and gold The air is crisp, yet not too cold The boats shall soon be put away The night brings yielding of the day The water still as dusk is near The Autumn time is finally here ©The Beginning At Last Some see Autumn as the death of the Summer. I…

Sorceress of the Weirding Wood
Sorceress of the Weirding Wood What treasure do you seek? You were foretold so long ago It’s you of whom they speak From the forest late at night Comes a faint and reddish glow While some may ponder what it is There’s some who truly know It’s spells you cast with sacred hands Incantations which…

Center (The Art of Patience)
Find your center Hard to do Sit in silence See it through Grow impatient Breathing deep A silent mind Is hard to keep Learning patience Tremendous task But still you try That’s all you ask ©The Beginning At Last

Dark Reflection (Musings From Another Plane)

The Choice
An undertaken journey It’s a road you take alone A road to places foreign You’re so far away from home What awaits, you often wonder You must find it on your own Is it paradise or evil? Or perhaps a bit of each? You can hear the answer calling Lying just beyond your reach Will…

For My Grandfather
I’ve seen the pictures of you holding me when I was born. I miss the days of riding with you on the tractor when I was very little. Life was so simple then. I remember when you built the hearth in our old house. You laid every brick like the master craftsman that you were.…

Realities In Motion
Reality Space and time I see the joys I see the crimes I see it all Pass ‘fore my eyes I hear the laughter Hear the cries I see the moments Most forget I see the things Not happened yet I’ve seen the wars The victories I’ve seen the slaves I’ve seen the free I’ve…
