Faster than the speed of life

Faster than the speed of life 

There are moments that seem to go to slow motion,
Or when events seem like they are suspended in time,
But really these are really happening faster than the speed of life.
When you return to a normal rate and cars are fast, you have
Suddenly become a different person and you don’t
Remember losing who or what that made a difference.
All you realize is that there is a change, and you can’t go back.

I’m Going Back to Texas

I’m Going Back to Texas

The white sand of the beach at South Padre Island offers a restful retreat from the regular routine.

I’m Going Back to Texas

I’m going back to Texas,
‘cause that’s where I want to be.
If Texas was a woman, I think
Her big breasts are calling me.
I‘ve  got friends down there,
And places I have yet to see.

I’m here in the Midwest state,
And I really don’t know why.
Weather is really crazy here,
and corn is knee-high in July.
By December, snow’s on the ground,
And it’s only 3 degrees Fahrenheit.
I have a good job here, I guess,
But it seems like I just get by.
I think I’d rather be in Texas,
Where mostly it’s warm and dry.

I’m going back to Texas,
‘cause that’s where I want to be.
If Texas was a woman, I think
Her big breasts are calling me.
I‘ve got friends down there,
And places I have yet to see.

People in Texas carved out a state, and
they’re proud of their unique history.
It’s so big and different in landscape,
They say it’s a whole another country.
It’s the people who make it what it is,
With a oneness in a great diversity.
Business is as varied as its people,
With a wide range of major industries.
The blending of the different cultures
Creates a heritage for the world to see.

I’m going back to Texas,
‘cause that’s where I want to be.
If Texas was a woman, I think
Her big breasts are calling me.
I‘ve got friends down there,
And places I have yet to see.

I know I’d really like to leave here,
But I don’t really know when.
I’ve lived on the West Coast, the
East Coast, and back here again.
But after staying a Texas a spell,
It’s the best place I’ve ever been.
Meantime, I try find a conference
For a week in San Antonio to attend.
That would give me the opportunity
To visit some of my old friends.

I’m going back to Texas,
‘cause that’s where I want to be.
If Texas was a woman, I think
Her big breasts are calling me.
I‘ve got friends down there,
And places I have yet to see.

The Employment Blues

It seems like the same old song and dance.
Put on a coat and tie, and hope you have half a chance.
There are times when I feel like I’m down and out,
And I wonder if it would help just to shout.
There’s other times when I figure I’m doing alright,
But through it all, I’m in for the fight and
Somewhere down the road my future’s bright.

Box of Cards

Filed under: New Poems, A Cupful of Words — admin @ 2:58 pm

Box of Cards

I came across my box of old birthday
Holiday, and anniversary cards today,
And memories of these special days
Came back like they were yesterday.

I took a few moments to read some
Written messages there were to see.
These cards are a recorded history
Of all the love you have for me.

I stopped since I needed to go,
And the box was a distraction I know,
But the feelings I get from the cards show
I will always love you so.

My Dad

My Dad

My dad and I on the property behind his house on May 23, 2013.  I’ve lost a few pounds since then.

My Dad

I looked into the mirror today
And noticed I look more and more like my dad.
I’m about as tall as he is,
And there’s a resemblance of hair we now have.
The days of moving here and there
Can be seen in the worn wrinkles on our faces.
Though he is retired at his house,
My wife and I are expected to go our paces.
He doesn’t drive as much now,
And holidays are spent either at his house or not.
We both have too much junk,
But it seems comfortable to keep what we got.
I looked into the mirror today
And noticed I act more and more like my dad.

The windshield wiper poem

The windshield wiper poem

pattyindians.JPG

Patty Hall

(Photo by Mike Hall)
This poem was composed one afternoon by Patty Hall as she was driving back from Richmond, IN to Indianapolis in the rain.  We had attended a family funeral service, and dropped by a local candle-making store afterwards.  The store had a cafe business inside the store which had advertised their barbeque food on a billboard on the way to Richmond.

The food was good and we were in the store about 20 minutes before we looked for unscented candles since scented candles mess with Patty’s sense of smell, among other things.  We found some in the “seconds” barrel, got four more plate holders and left in the rain. In the car, we took the long way home on US 40 since 70 was busy. After a while, she began talking in an English accent, and took after a trait inherited from her father.  He would compose poems of things on his mind quickly and just as quickly forget them.  Patty had three poems, and they rhymed. Some really shouldn’t be remembered due to their content, I think.

I jotted down this one, because it was funny.   Then her arthritis in her leg started hurting to the point when I got her a pill she takes for such things.  The weather was changing back to snow elsewhere beyond Indianapolis.  The mix of candle scents was gone by then and so were her poems.

The windshield wiper poem

Windshield wipers, windshield wipers,
Keep my windshield clean.
Windshield wipers, windshield wipers,
I see things I’ve never seen.
Windshield wipers, windshield wipers,
You’ve changed my point of view,
Windshield wipers, windshield wipers,
Now the world looks brand new.

Back where I belong

Filed under: New Poems, A Cupful of Words — admin @ 9:07 pm

Back where I belong

Hey, we knew changes were coming,
and instead of a cubicle, I use our car.
Somehow we both knew that office
position wouldn’t take me very far.
Now all week long I’m on the road,
while I wish I could be next to you.
I realize in my heart I’m not alone
as I travel and do what I have to do.
I try to follow a changing schedule,
and it’s hard to keep days on track.
But I know at the end of the week,
I’ll be at home, back where I belong.

Hidden Costs

Filed under: New Poems, A Cupful of Words — admin @ 9:28 am

Hidden Costs

Who will pay for the mind games
some of us play today?
Our children learn by imitating
what we think, do and say.
Changes are hard to make
once emotions are swayed
and the die is cast.
Pouring out of feelings won’t
last as the headlines begin
to fade away.
But by then, the damage is done,
people are gone,
Yet the memories of the past remain.
Who will pay for the mind games
some of us play today?

Happily Ever After

When the last sentence is said
And the covers of the book closed
Is the time where the story really begins.
As the child sleeps,
The world keeps turning and the
Sunrises somewhere else.
Another child faces a new day after
Reading a translation of the same book
The night before when it was daylight
For the first child.

Learn 10 ways how you can harness the Power of Words with modern technology.

Person in the Picture

Person in the Picture

indiansmike.jpg

On April 21, 2013, my wife and I went to the Indianapolis Indians game.  It was in the mid 50’s, but we were dressed for the event.  I used the time to get this portrait or caricature by Bob East  (Caricatures@BobEast.com), the official Indians artist.  The team’s fan photographer took of picture of the artist at work, but I can’t show it due to copyright restrictions. However, you can go  to www.indyindians.com, click on the “Fan Photo” icon in the “Stay Connected” tab in the center of the homepage to view this shot.  Go to the April 21, 2013 albums, and the PNC plaza album.  This is easier. Click on the image above to get the full portrait to download for free. By the way, the Indians beat the Louisville Bats, 2-1 that day.

Person in the Picture

I’m trying to be the person in my picture,
But it was taken in a different time and place.
I brushed my hair, and washed my face
But I wonder about the rest of me.

I’m trying to be the person in my picture.
Like a good scout, I’ll do my best,
But the question is today can I pass the test,
And will I be like this the rest of my days?

I’m trying to be the person in my picture.
I wonder where that person went, after
all the money for food and clothes was spent?
At least I have enough to pay bills and rent.

Who is Elias Tobias? Go to his biography that is also in Spanish.
