Blissful Dreams

A single sparrow slumbers by the lake.
An unjust sin would be to make him wake.
Since summer's gone; for it could never stay.
Yet, still it pains his heart to see decay.

Please, will you spare the sparrow of the sight?
His nested perch now overcome with blight.
Verdure surely succumbs to sickness soon,
As does the sun; it must yield to the moon.

When lightning cracks the sky and darkness reigns
The whole of nature suffers all the same.
But would you kindly let the small one sleep?
And dreams of summer bid him keep?

Still, you and I must live to face the day.
We’ve traded all our ignorance away.

What's the point

Why am I doing this? What is this page all about? Plain and simple, this is an outlet for self-expression...I feel like writing, but I'm tired of making all these random text files on my computer. With that said, the content of this blog is ME up-close and personal, in your face. I'll be writing poems, songs, short stories, vent-sessions, whatever I feel like at the moment . If you like it, that's cool; if not, well that's cool too. I'm just trying not to bottle up this creative potential inside of me.

As for the name, "Empirically Lyrical," i kind of named it that just because it sounds good and it makes you think....my main point is that these poems and random writing are based on my observations and the way I feel about life. Anyway, so read on and maybe you'll get a glimpse of what I'm trying to say
