Brummet's Conscious Blog

 Poetry Time A professional drummer/percussionist and educator, Dave has collaborated on many songs that later led to him writing lyrics of his own. Most of his poems in this book were in fact initially written as song lyrics, thus the presence of repeating choruses though out. Actually it was Dave who first sparked the idea for the Brummet’s to walk this path they tread today – he decided to take a writer’s course to learn what he might be able to do with his short stories that he has compiled over the years. Most of those stories have remained unpublished to this day due to other projects taking precedence, but Dave plans to release some in the near future. His poem “UFO Dream” is the theme of one of his soon-to-be novels that he has been working on. Lillian began writing poetry as a teenager, which allowed her to express the issues and emotions from a broken home, abusive childhood and being on her own at 13-years old. Through poetry she learned how to see beyond these hurts and...

 Yep, time for some poetry... it has been a while since I shared any of my poetry so here goes... I Will Prevail There's knowledge in abundance, all around.  Seems to be easily tripped over and found. Yet just can't seem to get enough;  To get anywhere seems so very tough. Just have to reach out and grab it; Have to make positive attitude a habit. Wanna do so very much; Just desier the winner's touch. So very impatient, ina hurry; And let myself too often worry. Suppose, in time, it will all come. Pray it happens before my time has gone.  Life's crazy humour of surprise, Teaching me to fairly compromise. Try to do the best I can; And keep from following every day men.  Will do whatever I think is best And if I fail, will I still pass the test? My goal is to love and to learn, To accomplish what I now yearn,  To leave my footprints on life's crazy trail, And against all else - prevail.  *Note: This was...

 Poetry  Yep - another fine day to share poetry! For those of you who are interested - Dave and I have 2 books of poetry out and you can find more via: http://brummet.ca/store.html Towards Understanding   The Sound of a Soul Have you heard the sound of a soul set free? The soul has may sounds, If you could hear them you'd agree. But the only sounds a mortal hears, Are the bitterness and the tears; The sounds of blame, fear and shame. But if you can, listen Listen close and hear The harmonious singing The beautiful sound ringing  From that same soul, once masked and held prisoner In the body you knew so long ago. Yes the body has been asked to leave, And it is alright to hurt and grieve. Just listen closer and you'll hear, That her soul is happier being free. Rhythm And Rhyme  A Thought Most of us are mixed of heart. Most of us have been torn apart. How much pain can one endure, ...

I'm taking the day off from the office today - ah, those golden moments of reprieve :) While I love what I do,  without occasional day's off I'd go a bit bonkers :) I thought it would be a good time to share some poetry excerpts from my book: Towards Understanding TRAPPED! There is but a child in me, Waiting to escape. To see the wonders of the world, And rid herself of hate. She wants to feel joy in living, And romantic summer eves. She dreams of running wild, Through autumn’s fallen leaves. But I keep her well in side; Afraid of experiencing pain. She shouldn’t have to cry, That sweet little child of mine. - This poem is in recognition of the superficial relationships I had developed for fear of being depended on, or being disappointed. Experience teaches us, however, that by keeping ourselves locked up in a seemingly "safe" place we only relive old hurts over...
