Harmony

Harmony
by
Laron R. Lemon

A lady from the land of peace and love
Flew into my life with the tranquility of a dove
A sweet invigorating voice reached my ear
While her beautiful essence could be felt drawing near
She sat behind me in a place of my perpetual misery
Where she provoked the first steps to my recovery

The constant and consistent nightmares which cause my fright
Were soon replaced by a reverie
Embraced by the eternal smile night after night
The chaos of the prior year became a distant memory
A new friendship beginning never experienced before
Brought this stubborn man to a difficult crossroad
Continue the way he is and forever, close a door
Change forever, and gain a friend to create a strong abode

Spinning in circles round and round
It was not until I was dizzy I was found
Traveling from the darkness of the past
Light in the future is being found at last
In the eyes of the eternal mother’s friend
Were found the bandages these wounds need to mend

Words can only say and show so much
Fear grips the heart of all men, especially the brave like myself
Only time and action can truly prove the care in my touch
Although at times it appears emotion has been set on the shelf
The time and energy dedicated in solitude
Will soon show the world the love in this heart
For the end is overdue for this interlude
Now we are at the beginning of a new part

Focused on the plight of all
Forgetting how you are, my dear friend, is my biggest downfall
I write in a broad sort of way
Never directed to one person as I do to you this day

Let us forget the troubles which have left us both scars
When we are together I remember life can be work, and fun
The possibilities of this world seem as endless as the stars
Because I now see how two different notes can play in harmony as one

About Me

A lion in zion simply trying to be the best that I can be
While listening to my kin state they wannabe just like that famous person as seen on tv
Not understanding the illusion they are living as they adopt a fallacy soon to replace the reality they see
Wanting all the novelty of life without any strife they throw caution to the wind and join money in sin
I am not talking of the "holy" books of the kings rooks meant to keep the ignorant in their nooks
This is the corruption of men brought on by apathy in work; ambition focused on the indulgence of the poor qualities of humanity which drive so many intelligent people to insanity due to the grand potential wasted on the superficial shell formerly known as you.
I know this to be irrefutably true because, believe it or not, I used to be too.

With a nudge from the world I opened my eyes
To the magnificent beauty hidden under our skies
We search for the answers all around
When all we have to do is look down
Hands of creation are at your fingertips
Words of wisdom are on the tips of your tongue
All you have to do is try
This is the miracle they have taught you to deny
Our humanity is an anomaly within a statistical improbability granting us the freedom to choose
Even if your choice is to become someone else and lose
If you are like I was, and would like to get out of your cycle
If you would like to make your cup full
Stop talking
Start Walking

V-day

Today I bore witness to the grotesque consumption American Holidays have developed in our people. Listening to the conversations of others made me realize all to well how the economic system dictating our day has rooted itself deeply into the psychology of those that I am lucky to know. However, there is a positive side to these frivolous celebrations; the love. As I walk around this place I see people embracing their significant others with open arms and a welcoming smile. Yet, I also see people that will not raise their heads from the burden their solitude imposes onto them. When you leave your lovers arms tonight, tomorrow, or the next day, remember and cherish the love they gave. Do this so that when you see the next person longing for a moment of compassion to relieve them of the weight their loneliness brings you may present them with solace. A simple gesture of kindness may only take less then a minute, but the ripples in time can last an eternity. May we all strive for perfection so that we can leave the earth a better place then we found it. I share my love with all of you, and wish nothing more then happiness in an abundant life for you all. Peace out.

Love,

I am not a prophet. I am not a philosopher. I am a simple man from humble beginnings.

Existence is a topic of thorough research that was introduced into the curriculum of my life late in my adolescence. Born to a family of Latter Day Saints I was introduced to an obscure ideology that is nothing other then a conglomeration of all of the religious rhetoric known to Joseph Smith at the time he organized their church. Friendships that have come and gone opened my vision to perceptions differing from that of my parents. Vexed by the multitude of  differing beliefs held by my peers I was unable to sit idle in the comfort of my parents thoughts on this reality. Searching through the text that I have the opportunity to read I found many answers, however, none of them were to the ultimate questions I wanted answered. Endless hours of study, discussion, and pondering have been utilized on the research necessary to find these answers I so utterly yearn for.

Today marks a grand day in my life.  I have answered nothing, yet I am satisfied. Content for the first time in so many years I sit at this keyboard with tears my eyes because I know I no longer have to search. The answers I have been looking for are all around me. Whether there is an eternal recurrence, an after life, reincarnation, or simply death, I no longer care to search for what will actually come to pass. All of the organization and systems of control which have allowed few to benefit from the back  breaking and tedious labor of the majority is absolutely imperative to the progression of mankind. Although at times negative consequences are imposed on people who we do not see as fit to deserve such a result from their actions, in the grand scheme of life it is critical in their instance so that another may enjoy a moment of their own. We are pursuing our own end, and when we reach it we will start a new beginning. So my friends remember every moment as if it was your last. Existence is eternal and we are bound to it. Creation is an endless chain using the expression of our individuality as the strength that binds it together. Tomorrow go out and try to make the person next to you happy, and if you do I am optimistic that soon we will all be able to die with a smile.

2012

It is time to end another year
Will you let out a yell, embrace a friend, or shed a tear
Many memories have been made
Foundations for incredible friendships have been laid
While all around the world there is turmoil
Over what is above and below the soil
However, do not despair
This is the recurrence of our human affair
The speculations of what will happen at the end of 2012 are in
Mostly stimulated by prophecies ranging from Nostradamus to the Mayan
The question still remains of what will happen when this next year comes to a close
Which no one really knows
Therefore all we can do is live on for another year
Making resolutions we will not come near
Happy new year everyone
May we all live peacefully together when 2012 is done

A distant friend

A face who constantly enters my mind
Due to the quality in her character which makes her so kind
A woman who has extended her hand
To this introverted, disillusioned, and stubborn man
Not with romantic intentions, but simply as a friend
However, my melancholy keeps me distant in the end
Disheartened by a world who has forgotten
My thoughts follow my actions toward the designs of men
Distracted from the beauty of her heart
I remain aimlessly wandering in the dark
Concentrated on the machinations of our people
Prevents me from understanding what would make my cup full
Wandering through my solitude I chase her shadow
In these lands of men I consider our eternal limbo
Where I am stuck in a cycle of debauchery
Slowly making the reality she is, slip into a reverie
Where unfulfilled my heart will always lie
Until the day she will allow me to die
This is merely a philosophical statement about the stance
Of a humbled man taking part in this human dance
Who has hesitated with the desires of his heart
Out of fear she would not want to take part
Yet I cannot help but wonder
What would come of us if the cupid's spell we did fall under
Still she is waiting for me on her pedestal I set her on high above
Where she may sit forever waiting for me to express my love
So this fool of a man remains distant in the end
To a potentially life long friend.

A gift

A gift of knowledge from an anonymous friend.

When I forget what I have in this world may my emptiness direct my return to sanity. Connected to family through proactive energy. Connected to friends through genuine listening and considering their master-like qualities. May food and merriment be in abundance with a satisfied mind and third eye wonder.
