Master of the Universe
I drift through time like a castaway who floats on a piece of wreckage in the ocean.
In front of me the ocean
Behind me the ocean
To my right
To my left
the ocean
time
stops
I do not know where I am or where I am going
I am taken on currents and everyday is the same
sometimes it rains,
sometimes the Sun brutalizes me
sometimes the stillness pounds my brain
the ocean is endless
it is my universe
my reality
Madness sets me free from this timeless prison
I am powerful, I walk in endless dreams
I am
god
Without even the wave of a bored hand
strange cities are swept into existence
Without a tear shed
they are destroyed
I am no longer time's prisoner
I am its master
Worlds collide
I watch
laugh
cry
In great power there is
solitude and sorrow
no wonder god
stays
his
hand
The universe, our world, ourselves
All that is
All that was
All that is to be
Has its part in the grand comedy
I drift through time
Like a castaway
who floats on
a piece of
wreckage
in the
ocean

Love is a hidden mystery
Love is found, love is bound
Love brings about
its gift of life
Love is true, love is blue
Love is a hidden mystery
Life is gain, and gain is loss
But the joy we feel goes on and on
Pain is a reminder of how much we care
Its season is short
Spring is soon here
Tears fall in our hearts
A Gloomy rain
Our memories planted there with care
Love warms our hearts in its gentle way
Joy is our harvest, a hidden mystery
The cycle neither begins nor does it end
We are eternal and so are our friends
The love we gain is never lost
Love is found, love is bound
Love is a hidden mystery

Enough Already!
Tumble, rumble, grumble and groan
Reap, and keep all you sow
Toil, boil, spoil your day
Stuff of fluff gone in a puff
All this will never be enough
Keeps you going, keeps you mowing
Their rope is towing
your life they're stowing
Slice, dice, put you on ice
Maybe there is a simpler life
Need and greed a bizarre creed
More stores, more stuff,
you can never have too much
Give away, stay away
Everybody has to pay
One man, one plan
Someone has to take a stand
Want less, don't press
Sit down and take a rest
To have enough is the best
One man, one plan
Someone has to take a stand
Want less, don't press
A simple life gives you rest

Death Stalks the Dead
I am staked, watched, wary of every corner
Now I see a dark vision in the shadows
Then I feel a whisper of burning breath
It is the scavenger of the dead
There is no escape except into life
Death stalks the dead
Life hides me in its truth
Life feeds me from its juice
Life prepares me for the race
The stalk
Inevitable
With all my strength I run into life
It is the fear of death that drives me
The beaters pound their drums
They stamp the earth with their feet
I flee from the dark quite hole where I hide
Panting I race To find life, my life, my truth
A dead dusty throat that burns
for The juice of life
Fear quenched
Peace
Death stalks the dead, but I am not yet
I am hidden in my thirst for more
I yearn for more
I dream of more
I am more
Only because I still believe there is more

The Rock
Inside the rock is a crystal vase
without a rose
But the rock is strong
it protects the vase
Are you ok? They need me to be
Yes, I am
Oh, good, I had a horrible day
Really, tell me
The rock has no purpose
other than strength
Many anchor themselves
the vase has no rose
The earth shakes
The vase shatters
Are you ok? They need me to be
Yes, I am
The rock has its purpose
but does not have a rose
The rock stands forever
inside a pile of shards
Are you ok? They need me to be
The rock does not need a rose
It no longer has a vase
Yes, I am

Leaving No Shadow
my crystal tube is beautiful
Its cold light leaving no shadows
Pressing my face to the wall I see
A world the color of laughter
Warm hearts glow together, grow together
Yesterday is born before my eyes
And memories slide past me fading
I am surrounded by ragged little children
They look at me with dirty faces and hollow eyes
Their hands clutch at me, wanting something
But I have nothing to give them
My tears form muddy little streaks on their faces
I am swallowed by sorrow, but not whole
Its teeth slowly grind me into little melancholy pieces
Floating on a raft of clutching hands I drift on a sea of dirty faces and hollow eyes Leaving behind sorrow, sorrow is my destination

Pain is a worm eating at your soul
Nibbles away from the inside out
Cutting perfect little circles
That spiral
Making room for its silky bed
Where it sleeps and changes
waiting
Bitterness now fills the
void Copyright © Robin Mitchell

Midnight is not yet
Give me just a moment's rest
Before my journey ends
The end seems so far away
As far as my next breath
The river flows so gently here
I really want to stay
But memories keep floating past
And in the distance fade
As I close my eyes to sleep
They call for me to wake
The river flowing on and on
I should be on my way
I wonder if the spirit shades
Come out at night to play
Do you think they'd let me join them
Or make me go away
Now I lay me down to sleep
Let all the voices fade
In the shadows spirits call
For me to join their game
I have not heard the clock bell strike
And midnight is not yet
I haven't traveled far enough
To earn a night of rest
Where is that clock
That holds my fate
It's ticks pound at my brain
It never rests so why should I
So here I cannot stay
To my feet with a curse
I trod another day
I have not heard the clock bell strike
so here I cannot stay

Carry me away
Carry me away, away from tears, away from fears
I am tied to earth by a single thread
Floating too far below the horizon
Tugging at my thread I fear to float away
Tugging at my thread I am loath to stay
I am tied to my friends by a single thread
Carry me away, away from tears, away from fears
Floating too far below the horizon
All that exists are the threads that bind
I only stay for those left behind
I have cut my thread so I can float free
Still my friends tug wanting me to stay
Carry me away, away from tears, away from fears
Floating too far below the horizon
Smile for me just once, see how high I rise
Others float where I now roam all welcome me
Some are old friends I have never met
Some I have known for an eternity
Carry me away, away from tears, away from fears
Floating too far below the horizon
I am tied to friends by a single thread
I have cut my thread so I can float free
Smile for me just once, see how high I rise
