Ocean Dreams - Karl

My transcription:

Golden light upon the sea
Slow waves calling back to me
No more running
No more fear
Only silence
Only here
Take my hand
Close your eyes
Let the horizon blur the skies

We're floating
Out of time
Ocean dreams
You and I

Floating
Far away
Lost in light
'til the break of day

[instrumental]

Breathe in
Let go
Feel the tide
Moving slow

We're floating
Out of time
Ocean dreams
You and I

[instrumental]

No tomorrow
No goodbye
Only stars
Only sky

"Trump Last Chance Endless Repetition" - Postcard

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon", which made a joke out of the deaths of men, women, and children, offended me, but apparently some thought those deaths were "hilarious", so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

Maybe Tom the bully will leave me another comment, telling me to shut up, because I'm not allowed to say anything unless he (and other "Free Speech is fine as long as it agrees with mine" bullies) approves of it.

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Favourite Color".

This is my second entry. I have several favorite colors, with some based on the Season. In the Summer, I favor yellow for the Sun, and blue for the ocean.

There was Silence. Then there was Invisible. Now It's Over (and it has been for awhile).

Comparison, not compassion.

Criticism, not compassion.

When everything I say, or don't say, do, or don't do, is wrong, the only remaining action I have is Silence.

When I am disregarded, I am invalidated and Invisible.

The message is clear: I do not matter and am unworthy of regard to the people who treat me that way. They matter, I do not.

Let it go. Walk away. Don't look back.

Deep in the night, I heard a cry that brought me back to life
It sang to me a melody and I was hypnotized
With every note, it pulled me close until I kissed the sky
I found my purpose in the churches filled with Neon lights So bright
And tonight I come alive

I feel the beat
It's like a new religion
Out on the floor
I found me in the rhythm
It lifts me up
It's love with no condition
I found the music
My new religion

Lost in the sound that's all around, I feel my body healing
I found my purpose in the churches filled with Neon lights So bright
