Seasons of Change...by NMN
About the Author...
Seasons of change is a moving collection of poetic memories about pain in life and relationships.
NMN moves us into universal themes of heartfelt emotions and social value, but she always returns to loneliness and longing for more than what life has to offer.
In the writings of "Childs Play" she expresses hope that children will fulfill "the hopes of tomorrow's dreams"
The purpose of her writings is to take a deep and honest look at the world, and share her experiences, hoping to reach others who might also have turned deeply into their inner selves to find understanding and peace.
Gene Barrett, Santa Barbara 1989
Season of Change
Wind blowing across the plains Making the rhythm of change Flowing into empty souls Begging to be replenished Dark Caves, bright lights What century brings this flight? Running free Running Scared Right into evils lair Looking into dark nights Is it a reflection of lights? Looking scared you always run Can't you see you've just begun? You're alone now, Don't you see The final retribution 7-17-1988 Love can be pain Both of us know Where our hearts flow Remember they beat together Souls entwined in love Just like white doves. Please no more contest Neither of us is best Our love is higher than these games Lay down the rules I promise to walk its line If only for a time 1-17-1988Finders
Stop and look around Is this where you want to be? Don't listen to others, Listen to yourself Trust the voice within Why listen to others Hear yourself out You might not believe The things you will hear Go where you want, do what our desire Just don't stab others when climbing Out of your own self-hate. In and out of places you've been in and around Streets and places to stay Is this where you belong? Follow your dreams my friend, Accept nothing else You don't have to be here, Climb out of your hole. 1-31-1988Turn Your Eyes
When the light fade to the West, And I'm alone without you, it's a test. Even when we are so far apart, Our souls beat as one hard-pounding heart. When darkens fades, and light begins Who knows where our souls lie then. You are miles away, and I need your touch I don't think I'm asking for much. When our heart join and beat as one Then I know the battles been won. Our live is like a perfect harmony Rising and falling like the Sea. Every morning when I wake up I yearn to feel you tender touch. This purity is for none to see Except for you and also me. 1-4-88Game of Love
What is this game called love? A stupid game It is ecstasy, it is pain. Can you feel the chains of bondage? Can you feel them stretch at betrayal, And then break form Pain? Oh, the game is hard And the chains are heavy Learn to wear it like a cloak Easily taken off and discarded Are you sleeping with the one you live? Do you wake up and wonder why? Don't hate yourself. People always makes mistakes in Lust, But it is done only to learn. The nights can be long And the nights can be lonely Remember this, freedom fought for Is not easily achieved, and once acquired The feel of it is joyous 3-9-85Modern Life
Hit it and watch it shatter You are hitting it in despair. Look into its broken glass, Life is so unfair Your life is such a mess And all your hopes and dreams Revealed in the cracks. The visions are distorted Your reflection unsorted The dreams you hold onto Will soon be before you. Looking through the shattered glass Only reveals life's twists and turns Life holds so much to learn Like people hugging in the night Sharing each other bodies Looking for comfort In each others arms. But life through shattered glass Will never, never last 5-6-88Think
Nowadays mankind is so unkind He lives in a cloudy haze of Social distortion. He knows not his own mind, His world out of proportion He looks for false hopes Letting his mind become unused, if imagination afloat, Neglected and abused. People use each other in hate Rushing by each other Not wanting to be late Ignoring the fact, That we are all brothers and sistersLearn to live with each other This used world grows old Realizing it is no bother To make our bond hold. 6-1-88
Suffering
Once I lived within a nightmare Did not even see The one who I thought l0oved me Dared to take my Dreams. Show mw the way To the stillness of the soul Who has found a way to love And give away his soul. My thoughts now looking ahead Never looking back My spirit no longer dead And our love grows fast. Show me the way TO a peaceful soul Who has found the way to love And give away his soul. SO I write this for you To thank you for enduring All the things I've said and done All without caring I look at the things you do And my soul will be fairing 4-7-88Jealousy
Jealousy is a hard emotion It dose not give joy or elation It can destroy a strong bond \And make two people not get along. Jealousy hurts, Jealousy kills It makes the heart rebel When you lie with your love It is like a disease A smothered glove 8-22-88Confusion
I see the confusion inside of you And I sit back and wonder "What to do" I love you so very much It bothers me that you have no luck I see you slip day by day Denying you the Suns rays Being alone is alcohols fiend Waiting to see you young life end. My arm are open but you cant see The tears of brooking reality If I could save you from within, Life could be kind Could be a friend 4-27-88More Games
When innocent games Are laced with pain The love stops flowing and the anger begins Not telling where it ends It begins in jest but ends in contest A battle of hearts No one a winner Just a beginner Games played by hearts Will Tear us apart Games played in pain With nothing to gain Always breaking us apart. 1-17-88Childs Play
As the mist starts to rise And the power begins The people of the town feel the evil within The loss of innocence. Of the ones lost in song With no hope of ever returning again Don't you see That the children are Burning bright like the stars They are the future so far. They will fulfill the worlds needs And all we think and dream They'll sail away Children of your future needs This the hope of tomorrows dreams Are lost/found within their reality. They sail away on golden seas Not looking Bach their battles won And now the songs must be unsung. The children have been made What they are today Burning bright like the stars They are our future so Far They fulfilled our needs And rid us of our evil dreams LIVE!!! 1-4-88Thank You
You have been through hell And so have I We are still one of a kind Letting time pass us by. Never knew love at all Then I met And then my world started to fall Yet I knew what to do You cared so much Unredeemed love Never knew it survived "Love of a Pure Kind" So many People love for Sex Money for company I need to be secure In a love that would endure. You are the answer to my soul Flowing free, unrestrained You hold my love contained Never ever let me go. 4-26-88
