Hope


I've had a crazy couple of months,

A whole lot of speed bumps,


Everything seemed bleak,

I felt utterly helpless and weak,


Slowly and steadily though,

I decided to let go,


The worst has already happened,

But I will not slacken,


Thread on, I must,

For on this path I have been thrust,


I will not give up,

Or let up,


Miracles are yet to happen,

And I'm sure they'll be wilder than I can imagine.

Fish Dreams


I have only one wish,

For the summer and that is to be a fish,


Just for this season,

So that I'm not eaten,


By the extreme heat,

Not sure how else I'll beat,


This ruthless weather,

I'm at the end of my tether,


I need water,

Permanently and stat, to live perpetually underwater.

Fried


Brain fried, soul fried and body fried,

The heat makes you want to hide,


Inside air conditioned rooms,

Far away from the heat wave and hot fumes,


You want to drown in a tub of icecream,

And have some cool dreams,


How do people survive in this heat,

Without feeling dead beat,


Summer has just begun,

And I'm already done,


With the stickiness,

And heat induced dizziness.
