I am a Planet

I am a Planet.

One of Terra Kichas, zillion, s'millions planets.

In a solar system
In a galaxy
In a universe
In a superuniverse.

I have height and depth ...
Width and breadth.
And space, lots of space.

Life lies asleep Slepus Numbus billion zillions years.

Then when conditions are right
Life happens very fast;

It multiplies rapidly

Making a soup
Of a Planet such as me.

I am alive in the universe.



Patrick and Samantha Darnell (1990)

Credo

I believe in the intra-uterine genesis
I believe in the perpetuation of the species
I believe in the Son of Man.

I believe today as to be the beginning
Yesterday is the past
And God to be the fearful future.

I believe in discovery of mans' personal strength
And in the persevering strength of woman
I believe in the coalition of these strengths.

I believe in professing the Apostles' Creed
I believe in the sainthood of children
I believe personality is a very gentle
... and fragile subject to be dealt with.

I believe in the tragedy, comedy and fantasy of Life,
I believe in the subtle nature of contentment,
I believe in talking to Jesus through prayer ...

I believe in the final outcome
I believe in the means to it,
I believe in resurrection and judgment.

One final belief, through faith am I personalized,
That I have personalized an understanding
of the three part God.




Patrick Darnell (1984)

Meld

This meld, regrettable,
in debasing terms
lacks tactile quality
or begone conclusion:

While like in a dream
ignorant, furtive pupil finds
self-inflicted longing grief
in this, his, difficult time:

Judges impersonal, staid
and with disdain always
inflict tactical trauma
in superficial ways:

And memory loop
now destroyed
cannot keep up
with drama record,

Coming of age while
roaming instead
extols the traits
of the wasted,

This meld regretted
diminishes in the doubling,
children having children
belittles minors' coupling,
disastrous because
what awoke in the world
... is troubling.



Patrick Darnell (1978)

Humility

What badge
do I wear
for you to spare
my life?

What element
do I use
to make sacrifice?

What do I pierce
to break through,
Savior, to You?

Why do I still dispute
the greatest is the servant?
Explains who dominates?

Leading is stewarding;
before GOD ...

New Song by Jack Pribek :: "The King"

the king is
feeling very bad today
the king is
feeling very bad today
he’s indisposed
Got something up his nose
take shelter best
stay out of the way because
the king is
feeling very bad today

The King smells
danger on the vine
The King wants
Everything spit and shine
Lock away pride
Keep it inside
beg mercy on your knees
and pray because
The king is
Feeling very bad today.

by Pribek, [HERE], watch the Video [LINK]

[... plus one unsolicited verse by PD ...]

the King hurts
Down in his blister'ed feet
the King spats
All over the cobbled street
rain pisses down
soaking the town
quit dancing and singing
toll bell is ringing
the King is
feeling very bad today.

I Miss My Children as they Dream

I miss my children as they dream,
In value times oft' it seems
Escape they to finer place
As clouds gather over landscapes

My children wax in Summer's grace
Cry not while in their place
Roam though I a babe as old
Battling too till I'm aloft the world --

That then is conclusion
my children's dreams ...
They ride free a'stride stallions
Claiming pastures for each's scheme

I've but purchased my bare plot
I have called in my delusions
Articulated on high things
Given to do lower; my illusion.

Primitives would gather to my grave
In stiff fog of dreams I have,
Scoffing unrelenting ...
Crying not, nor laughing they.

Yet I come not in spectacular times
To biddings of forgotten souls
I strive for shelter ours
Before grave in life's unfolding hours

I miss my children as they dream
For I alone can know them to value it
Wanting each their right to my spirit
A portion my children rightfully redeem.

Living Vicarious through my Friend

I woke up this morning
could not remember my dreams
but ...Something was on my mind
and it made my feet move

When I woke up this morning
I said I had to get goin'
Get goin' outta this bog
Yes, had it on my mind.

I was tired of looking
out each and every way
for gators and wild hogs, and
snakes around shallow lakes

Diamond D and Circle K
got no more lure for me,
All those bog secrets
ain't scared of me ...
... sure 'nuff ain't scared of me.

Hopped in my Chevrolet
to see what I might see
and followed the rail
put my hair in a ponytail

Packed my axe and muscatel
drove to Tunica Mississippi
drove till I find a casino
while Blues spun on the radio

I woke up this morning
not a memory could I say
but knew I could not sit a spell
had to get on up out down this way

What happened next, you see,
In my mind I'll just keep it
what went down in Mississippi
Well, that there's top secret.
