Just One Drop

JUST ONE DROP

Just one drop
that falls not
That never fails
in erasing all fault

A death
that brings life
One for all
In the serenity
of a friendly voice
I hear the call
Always a choice
to steer your vessel
on a heavenly course
Words of wisdom
the truth to tell
One drop of love
that doesn’t fall
and never fails

Just one drop
of grace divine
suspended . . .
in the fullness of time
No silent witness
to a world of crime
A door is wide open
as the Word
has been spoken
throughout the expanse
of infinite space
One drop of hope
for this human race

Just one drop …
more than enough

Le Touriste 😎 Part 9

Go Smilingly amid the noise and haste
of cyberspace, and remember what joy
there be in the service of Emo-Jo.

no less than the Hash Tags and the GIFs;
you have a right to be here. So, be ever
of good cheer as a proud descendant
of the Rune, and the Hieroglyph.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
never doubt that internet is unfolding
. . . as it should.

riding through the desert
on his faithful camel, Kamal 🐪
Mr. Smiley Face settled in for the night
down that hobbit hole for hire
at the no star Barrow Creek Hotel.

Le Touriste 😎 Part 7

“My yellow is not so mellow.”
~ Jimi Hendrix

“In the shuffling madness
aboard the locomotive
‘Emo-Jo Breath’
rides the all time grinner
that ever wiley
Mr. Smiley Face
An engine of holy anger
Forged in a furnace
Of Emoji righteousness
Ever flowing
With hot vengeance
Thundering on
own the track
As the Yellow Peril
That bane
of Muppet mayhem
He’s now on the case
And that train
It won’t stop going
No, it won’t slow down”

Le Touriste 😎 Part 6

🎶 “Electronic Emoji
is gonna be a sudden craze
Electronic Emoji
is bound to be the very next phase
They call me Mellow Yellow
But quite rightly
my Muppet enemies
they all call me the Yellow Peril
So watch out Elmo!” 🎶
~ Donomojo
(The Ballad of Mr. Smiley Face)
