Sights and Sounds



So many, many, messages do abound

On pages and banners as we look around

So much of it, it tends to muddle minds

And then we're totally lost in new finds



But if it wasn't all there meant to be seen

Then there'd be no reason for it to beam

At us from color screen and audio speakers

Barking at us orders to make us yet weaker



In our resolve not to partake of all the fare

Which presses us so as we blink and stare

But the real images and words which beckon

Are part of a larger whole made up of seconds



Counting down the time as we partake of it all

And as we continue - it becomes part of the call

To our minds to open up to share things both ways

As we get pulled in so deep, we cannot go away ...
