First thought
When we talk this wayThe back and forth of good idea
There is no separation now
We are all together now
Always were and always will be
It just takes a little push
And then we are all sailing free
Is not that what we rightly have come here for
Is not that what these guys showed us all to see
Build the superstructure of musical form
Build it slowly slowly
Taking time and great care
That all the pieces fit in just exactly
perfectly
And then you set off to climb
Climb that superstructure into the sky
And when you achieve and overcome
And the top of the mountain
you see
You run right up without a second thought
And fling yourself into the sky
No need for flapping now
Just think first thought
And you are free
A snowy dayTo sit and
A snowy day
To sit and see
laughing water dancing free
on tye dye dreams
the whiteness lay
Feel the sky as snowflakes fly

I won't even take your lifeWon't even take a limb
Just unload my shotgun
And take a little skin
Well you take a silver dollar
Take a silver dime
Mix it up together
In some alligator wine
I can hear the drums
Voodoo all night long
Mister Charlie telling me
I can't do nothing wrong

my friend Rush
i got a few minutes, so ithink ill shoot from the hip
not hold anything back now
gonna really let her rip
been keeping it all bottled up inside
for so long now i might cry
but i really need to let it all out
theres something so large
it cant be seen
and something so small
it cant be missed
would you come if i call
or would you run away
and jump the wall
see if you can get to the door
before i fall
you know those words you said
they put me on the floor
so i pick myself up and smile
and say thankyou
for all the things
that you put me through
and i thank you again
for the way that you are
cause without your lens
my eye camera
doesn't focus at all
my friends cat
her name is Rush
she likes to sit in the tub
and stare at me
with her gold green glowing eyes
she ducks her head to hide
cause she knows that i can't see her
if she can't see me
then we play "string"
for hours and hours on end
how the univers began
a small particle too small for the naked eyefloats through this timeless space...
particle on top of molecule, now we've got dust
gathered in outer space what a seemingless place
was this dust sent through a black hole,
to every beginning an end
or should we assume that the the universe was prexistent before any matter
now its time for
time to fall into place
how long has this space been
when did it began
this universe keeps to its laws (natures laws)
only to expand upon its contents and their mass along with the gravitational pull
that allows it to contract and expand
proving that oneday
in a point of of time
this space was smaller than today
Here comes the prime evil atom
causing a great big bang
among this small matter of what seemed to be dust
was actuallyintended to be an egg
releasing gases
hydrogen, helium
creating a much compounded world
left for evolution to take its course
this is where life comes into effect...
answering the question how the universe began
donde vive el amor? (where is my love)
The heart has its seasonsdid you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love
and guess from their cries you were listening to a fight
well you know, hates just the last thing they're thinking of
they're only trying to make it through the night
i only want to hold you
i dont want to tie you down
or fence you between the lines i might have drawn
life is not about how to surivive in the storm but how to dance in the rain
there comes a point
in ones life
when you come to realize
who matters
who never did
who wont anymore
and who always will
so dont worry about the people from the past
theres a reason why they did not make it to you future

Welcome lola
Welcome to dead.net and 'poets corner'
Love your words.
here comes your 19th global internet meltdown
Here Comes Your 19th Global Internet Meltdown (sung to the tune of "19th nervous breakdown--rolling stones)
You're just the kind of guy
people think of as strangely without care
off on the fringes never say a word
Unless you're spoken to
but now you over did it, it started coming out of your ears
And now you try but you just cant hide
you better post
don't look around
here it comes here it comes here it comes
here comes your 19th global internet meltdown
you travel in style
always smoke the kind
but something just werent never right in your mind
always had the best to eat and drink
but every night you slept alone
no one could comfort you
until the day you knocked down the doors
and threw out the sealameal
you better stop dont turn around
here it comes here it comes here it comes
here comes your 19th global internet meltdown
oh who's to blame that kids gone insane
nothing seems to stop it, he goes right around the clock
every time I turn around it just keeps on getting worse
what can still be left
certainly not your methedrine
it really stole your mind
and after you left in June
everyone said it was way past time
should a stuck with that short trip
of dimethyltryptamine
it would a put the hurt upon your mind
but now you're just in the way of what is fine
you better stop, put the pipe down
here it comes here it comes here it comes
here comes your 19th global internet meltdown
here comes your 19th global internet meltdown
here comes your 19th global internet meltdown
Other Worldly
Every day my eye awakensReflecting dreams lost slumber
Waking, fabricating time
My perceptions illuminate in the light of your space
Every visage ethereal grace
Penetrating my heart is in rhythm
A motion brought to my attention
We put ourselves in this place
Heaven knows all other worldly systems
Not to exclude your own
The static lining of your position
A permissive act of will
We are lost in this place
With all the potential for altered states
Do not get lost in yourself
We are other worldly
Every day is latent energy
For the stewards who are sleeping
Delicate, shimmering waves
My hands hold the sphere which ignites in space
Every second lost is gained
Bringing back around my intentions
Like clockwork I am reminded
We should take care of this place
It's just me and you, babe
Every body else seemsTo have something better to do tonight
So now it's just me and you babe
It's just me and you
Sitting on this pile of rocks
Got our sweaters pulled up tight
Cause its time to pull the pets in
Yeah its gonna be a three dog night
Sitting in front of the fire
Thinking overtime on how to lift you higher
But in the end it comes to this
It really doesnt matter how hard you try
In the end it will all be revealed
It will be seen that we never left the sky
This earthly dream to wonder why
We left the campfire to wander
Out of body experience
Is the only true experience
In body experience is a
Straight up lie
July 7, 1986
I have traveled through a timeless universe of rippled skies, over seas of churning color to traverse the ranges and valleys in a single brushstroke. I have seen the faces in the wood and journeyed into the black hole of chain link. I have stormed the fort and stood in the shoes of many a dying soldier. I have run through the dark woods, dodging trees and shadows, chasing the glimpse of a fleeting thought. I have felt the ground move like the belly of a fat man laughing at two boys flying head over heels into manhood.
I followed my mind into my soul to find these unreal realities which were hiding behind prejudice, shame and fear in brilliant shades of peace, love and good will.
Getting Off on the Right Foot
You must start right to end rightYou can't rise any higher than the source
If you set your sights on matter
Spirit will be nowhere to be found
Starting with feet firmly planted on infinity
Insures success from the very outset
What is there to die
If nothing has ever been born
Always resting in action
Ideas shining brightly
Like a light in our Father's eye
It was a backwards thought
That has seemd to keep us trapped
For so long
Graduation day in the temple
Grasping the pebble's
Out of Master's hand
Now is time to leave
The temple grounds
To wander.
Watering the garden
and moving along.
Snow falls
The sound of the snow plows Growling through the city streets
Laying down the plow with a metallic concussion
I felt it in my bones three floors up
Walking through the city neighborhoods
The sounds of car tires compressing powder,
Dogs barking carrying through back yards
The scritch scritch scritch of the
Snowshovel on amacite
Surrounding you, wherever you go
Someone is digging out.
When that city dumptruck plow
hits the road, it sounds like a bomb
And then hard scraping with sparks flying
And inside it all
The sound of snow falling on snow.
Friday Sing-A-Long
High Time
Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
You told me goodbye
How was I to know
You didn't mean goodbye
You meant please don't let me go
I was having a high time
Living the good life
Well I know
The wheels are muddy
Got a ton of hay
Now listen here baby
'Cause I mean what I say
I'm having a hard time
Living the good life
Well I know
I was losing time, I had nothing to do
No-one to fight, I came to you
Wheels broke down, the leader won't draw
The line is busted, the last one I saw
Tomorrow comes trouble
Tomorrow comes pain
Now don't think too hard, baby
'Cause you know what I'm saying
I could show you a high time
Living the good life
Don't be that way
Nothing's for certain
It could always go wrong
Come in when it's raining
Go on out when it's gone
We could have us a high time
Living the good life
Well I know
Watching Dogs Play in the Snow
I still enjoyWatching dogs play
In the snow
My little muffin has
Passed beyond us now
But I still enjoy
Watching dogs play
In the snow
They rip and tear
And bound and flow
The entire time
Throwing out tons of snow
Like a wake behind them
As they tear on unaware
Of how much joy
That they might bring
Outside of my front window
Fifty days away from Spring
No, they don't know
How much I still enjoy
Watching dogs play
In the snow.
a qoute of mine.
Be happy with what you have , because Death awaits you, and when you accept that you are alive forever.
Conditional Goodbye
With this loss of nothingness, we leave these surroundings a selfless breath Moment to moment, act to action these ordinary acts of spirit.
Preconceived necessity accepting initial images as self evident remnants
Penetrate the night air, witness to a seclusive detachment.
Refractive aspects of beginnings have denied a closed outlook
Tears absolve, this anonymous refulgence.
Destroy our transparent cage as liberation takes us to its center of definition
The participants simplify the inevitable, here forth throughout the darkness dismissed.
Interrogated spectrums of decision
Entropic conception, individualized inclusiveness
See ourselves internalized upon the mind
Of these eyes learning to master the pure view,
Solitude a natural state of neutrality, waiting, beginning's bring beginning's upon the hands.
Shadows in waiting surfacing upon the foreground fade, making it difficult to look away
Twilight dissipates, making it difficult to discriminate
Solitude in its natural state of neutrality, native lanterns on night table
Familiar shadows of cerulean companionship surfacing in a foreground
Visualized upon the approach, ready to be seen, close enough to actualize
Quite as a hospital eventually the bedside struggle
Improves unto a condition foreseen as a continuum complete.
Relinquished the voicing falling silently out of mind
Into a formless neutrality, beholden unto a firmaments eternal repletion.
After-sight, inner-light, distant stars internalized upon the heart.
Let heaven be seen, let heaven be beholden.
These days are a riddleThe
These days are a riddle
The heart plays the fiddle
Watching me step to the road
Catching my eye
All those passing by
Nothings for sale
I say in a sigh
As these long nights collide
days slowly pass by
A candle alight in my eyes
Could it be words that
Turn the next page
A jewel for your crown
This babe
Turning of age
Forms of tomorrow
Not yet
Taken their shape
I could contain
What the mystery
Can't shake
Or a farewell to thee
Before the big quake
To Lay Me Down - Robt. Hunter
To Lay Me DownLyrics By: Robert Hunter
Music By: Jerry Garcia
To lay me down once more, to lay me down
With my head in sparkling clover
Let the world go by, all lost in dreaming
To lay me down one last time, to lay me down
To be with you once more, to be with you
With our bodies close together
Let the world go by, like clouds a-streaming
To lay me down one last time, to lay me down
To lay me down, to lay me down
To lay me down one last time, to lay me down
To lie with you once more, to lie with you
With our dreams entwined together
To wake beside you, my love still sleeping
To tell sweet lies one last time and say goodnight
To lay me down, to lay me down
To lay me down one last time, to lay me down
The Bailout Blues
We got the banks and the cars and the credit cardsTimes are getting kind of hard
Saw the early morning news
What are we gonna do?
The Nikkei and the S&P
And what that means to you and me
Listen to the talking heads
And figure out what they said
About the bailout
Got the bailout blues
About the bailout
Got the bailout blues
If you need another billion
We'll try to see what we can do
No credit for this and none for that
We been charging this and that
Lots of talk of doom and gloom
Predicting things that might come true
Tealeaves and the voodoo stick
Spin the wheel, take your pick
Listen to the talking heads
And figure out what they said
About the bailout
Got them bailout blues
About the bailout
About them bailout blues
If you need a few more billion
We'll look and see what we can do
We just need a hundred billion
Why not make it an even trillion
We'll keep taking what your giving
We're just trying to make a living
The CEO can work it out
With the boys out in the house
They didn'y fly, they took a cab
To see how much they could grab
It costs a lot for luxury
There's not much left for you and me
Listen to the talking heads
And figure out what they said
About the bailout
Got them bailout blues
About the bailout
Got them bailout blues
And if you need a lotta billions
We'll try and help you with that to
And if you want an even trillion
We'll take a look at that for you

Our Love Is Real
Not Fade Away
Lyrics By: Hardin/Petty
I wanna tell you how it's gonna be, you're gonna give your love to me,
I wanna love you night and day, you know my love not fade away.
You know my love not fade away, not fade away!
My love is bigger than a Cadillac, I try to show you but you drive me back,
Your love for me has got to be real, your gonna know just how I feel.
Our love is real, not fade away, not fade away!
spare some change?
yo yo wuz up?
Hello my friends I hope your doin fine
Maybe chillin on the herb or groovin on the wine
Or maybe, your just glad to be alive
With nothin left to do but smile smile smile
The President, he is a stimulator
The CEO on Wall St. a money fornicator
Congress, they are the great debators
And things are gonna CHANGE!, sooner or later
Unemployment up the DOW been goin down
We have ourselves a crisis just take a look around
Hold on, I think I hear a sound
!Happy days are hear the Dead are back in town
Have a grateful day
The Music Never Stopped Lyrics By: John Barlow (excerpt)
The Music Never StoppedLyrics By: John Barlow
Sun went down in honey
And the moon came up in wine
You know stars were spinning dizzy
Lord the band kept us so busy
We forgot about the time
They're a band beyond description
Like Jehovah's favourite choir
People joining hand in hand
While the music plays the band
Lord they're setting us on fire
Crazy rooster crowing midnight
Balls of lightning roll along
Old men sing about their dreams
Women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playing on
Keep on dancing through to daylight
Greet the morning air with song
No one's noticed but the band's all packed and gone
Was it ever here at all?
But they kept on dancing
pkpoem
There is something in your wayThere is something in your way
There is something in your way
That says love
Love
Love is what it says
I can read it
Letters big and bold
Love is what it says
There is some kind of thing about you
There is some kind of thing about you
There is just something about you
That says love
Love
Love is what it says
Simple words in simple letters
Spells love
My Sisters And Brothers
My Sisters And Brothers
Lyrics: Charles Johnson
I want to say to my sisters and my brothers
Keep the faith
When the storm flies and the wind blows
Go on at a steady pace
When the battle is fought and the victory's won
We can all shout together, we have overcome
We'll talk to the Father and the Son
When we make it to the promised land
If we walk together, little children
We won't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We've got to love one another
Let us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together
For ever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
Our bible reads
Thou shalt not be afraid
Of the terror by night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Nor for the pestilence
That walketh in the darkness
Nor for the destruction
That waiteth in the noonday hour
If we walk together, little children
We won't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We've got to love one another
Let us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together
For ever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
This world is not our home
We are only passing through
Our trail is all made up
Way beyond the blue
Let us do the very best that we can
While we're travelin' through this land
We can all be together
Shaking a hand
When we make it to the promised land
If we walk together, little children
We won't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We've got to love one another
Let us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together
For ever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
When we make it to the promised land children
Make it to the promised land children
Make it to the promised land children
Make it to the promised land
When we make it to the promised land sisters
Make it to the promised land children
We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
If we walk together, little children
We won't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We've got to love one another
Let us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together
For ever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
Surrounded By Love
I woke up this morningAnd lit up a smoke
I turned on the t.v.
The news-caster spoke
She said everything
Is going to hell
And when it might change
No one can tell
And then she smiled
Said "have a nice day"
And don't let this evil
Darken your way
So I decided
To head for the hills
Let mother nature
Comfort what ills
And up on the mountain
I set it all free
Then said a prayer
For both you and me
Time keeps on ticking
Like waves on the sea
Let's make sure our future
Makes good history
It's all-right
When you walk in the light
Let the rain fall from above
And be surrounded by Love
wild strings
That is truley beutiful !! almost brought a tear to my eye .. Thank you !!
thanks Stuman
I wrote it on guitar in about an hour shortly before I posted it. Appreciate your comment.
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul
Bluffing Deuces
Been playing on the corner, longer then before the casino closed down.Longer then the second oldest profession was thrown out of the theater and into the streets.
Generations before the redevelopment turned the theme park into miniature Memphis.
The story of your life is in that model.
Can't pull you a ticket, you've got to pay to stay.
Can't take you on at the pass line.
Can't break even on you doing community service.
Cold kitchen, empty shelfs, we gambled away the hunger.
Never forget, there's nothing in their pockets.
Happiness carries a price, balancing the struggle for perfection.
The place in the shade you work for, being successful and well tanned.
There's more room now that everyone else got out of the way.
According to the golden rule, something had to happen.
We all knew better for folding, redeemed through a complicated assumption.
Logic at best is problematic, second guessing a first solutions categorization.
Suspending a well needed intuitions inevitable conclusion.
Gravity is secure, so go the dominoes.
Stacking boxes in the corner by four, leveling chips on top.
Protecting the elders, attending to youth, maintaining children.
Deny them rice and meat, waste a noodle, kill a monk.
Planning stage of product placement, divine item, sacred luxury.
Selling the sizzle, power holds the zero, the best performances go unnoticed.
Agreeing to bring down the final stage.
They don't have to explain why they play it their own way.
Those moves guarantee constant resolve, although progress is slow.
The cards are dealt, the bets are placed.
An attempt to reward the honorable, obtainment down the line, on the turn.
It's a problem you shouldn't have to solve without luck.
The lights go down, The curtains close.
On the piss prayer for the rainmakers wishing well.
Losses in the flood, carried away on a flush filled river
Blind aggression, the elimination of common sense, out bluffing a pair of twos.
keep livin' the faith
you gotta keep livin' the faith when the wind's in your faceand you got the weight of the world on your brain.
try to see the bright side, lookin' from the dark side
try to pull the sun out of the rain.
keep on livin' the faith when you can't find a friend
and you need somebody to defend you.
a silver lining will turn your sky blue,
and God will find a angel just for you.
keep on livin' the faith when you're not sure it;s there
and you just can't say another prayer
break the last straw,knock down the wall
nobody said that life was fair.
Deliver
DeliverTell of the time you saw your shadow
Deliver
The time is high
Roll on away,
Roll on with the rolling thunder.
Cruel water falls
Again.
Deliver,
Tell of a tale that no one knows of.
Deliver
And say goodbye.
What you meant to say,
Was that the game is just beginning
What you meant to say
Is at an end.
Deliver,
By word of mouth and slow quotation.
Deliver,
And wonder why.
Just another way.
Just another broken mirror.
Just another way,
To make a mend!
by the dawn's early light
its not rocket science
we don't have to kid ourselves
if we dont get a grip and pull together
and start to love one another
for real
soon enough
it will be the ones
with all the guns and money
who will be telling us when to duck
and when to run, and when to take cover.
Beautiful Moon v. 2.752817
I will point my finger at the moon:
Mostly, beings look intently at
The tip of my finger and say,
"Beautiful Moon".
But you, grasshopper,
You have gazed beyond my finger
To see the reflected golden inner light
Of the mental palace of ease and calm,
Before education, prior to conception,
Primeval being is yours for all of eternity.
Go on, go out and point your finger to the moon
So that others may also see its beautiful light
Do not become discouraged, grasshopper,
When they also stare at your finger tip and say,
full of passion, "Beautiful Moon".
I was once also called grasshopper, as you are now,
And one day you will call another, grasshopper.
And they will call you, "One beyond who sees the moon".

Your're only as free As much as you can afford
You're only as free
As much as you can horde
You're only as free
As much as you keep from the theif
No, You're only as free
As you let yourself be
You're only as free
As the man who writes your check
You're only as free
As the size of your deck
You're only as free
As the money you're owed
No, You're only as free
As the rows that you've hoed
You're only as free
As the house across the street
You're only as free
As the shoes on your feet
You're only as free
As long as paradise is yours
No, You're only as free
As long as you remember it's her's
Heaven is a solid (heaven is a gas)
Sitting solidly in heavenWatching hell pass before my eyes
I know it is merely illusion
But I still can hear the cries
It doesn't distract me from my prayer
Nor lead me from my goal
To arrive at the answer to why
From perfection I may have strayed
There is still no one who can say
But while I yet appear to be here
Let us sit and discuss the day
Planting the seed of our thought
In sacred soil unshaken unstirred
Sitting solidly in heaven
Watching hell pass before our eyes
To know we are all fully enlightened
And in every present moment, to
Act that way.
Meant to Be
Meant to Be~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sitting up restless, it came to me one night...
Love, dreams, and wonders is all that I could see,
Cuz I saw you...you came to me, a radiant vision full of light...
So strong, so beautiful, I struggled to be set free...
Blinded eyes were opened, now I see
cuz you came to me and said
'baby I love you, stop messing with my head'
Some call me crazy, but I know it'll turn out right..
There no way I ain't gonna fight...
Hold on baby bear...
Cuz we found a love that is very rare
Hold on....
Just know how
I feel the emptyness inside
some how it just don't feel right
When I can't hold you through the night
But Hold on while I sing you this song
Lovin you so much can't be wrong
Your not just another fish... in the sea, in the sea
Sail away with me and We'll be gone
Sail away with me and We'll be gone....
We'll be together for eternity,
just hold on a little and you will see
That a love like this was only meant to be!
I hold you so dear in my heart
God why does loving you run so deep
Like a bear curled up in sleep
All I know is that we need to kindle an new spark
Like it always was from the start
I love you so much Trishy Bear
The love I have can go anywhere
If I have to follow you to the edge of the earth
A love like this is full of worth
You mean the world to me
I know our love can set us free!
You opened my eyes, now I see!
Call me crazy, call me wrong...I don't care,
my love for you is just too strong
Hold on baby bear...
Cuz we found a love that is very rare
Just know how I feel the emptyness inside
some how it just don't feel right
When I can't hold you through the night
But Hold on while I sing you this song
Lovin you so much can't be wrong
Your not just another fish... in the sea, in the sea
Sail away with me and We'll be gone
Sail away with me and We'll be gone....
We'll be together for eternity,
just hold on a little and you will see
That a love like this was only meant to be!
HOLD ON!

Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!
a birth of senses, infinite breath.
This birthday, senses reap, the breath of birth. I am my ancestry, looking out over the open garden.
Infinite aspects, unfurled in endless loss of cover.
Simply reliving seasons, memories in the rain of understanding.
Years of dreaming, eyes filled, I can see
Clouds part, mist lifted into shafts of sunlight.
Wheel of existence, movement, hearts rhythm.
Shed the grave name, in a birth of senses, infinite breath.
The grave name, the name I carry through life.
Rebirth, ash, sighs, accepting the urn of remains.
A cup of rain, drink from a handful of rain.
Earth beset,this rest eternal.
Someday the past will retire.
As we grow into the calling wind of final liberation.
I love the smell of drums/space in the morning
I love the smell of drums/space in the morningIt's sounds like a parade is going by
There is the sound of a child swinging
On a very loudly squeaking swing
And I can't tell if it is in the music
Or coming from outside my window
Someone walks by bouncing a basketball
And it folds into the rhythms from the stereo
I walk into the other room as a bus rounds the turn
and its like a bass bomb, no that was a bass bomb
and now here comes Jerry's guitar, crawling
like a snake up the broken stone steps
of a castle's tower with the top blown off
so you can see the sky, and its a moonless night;
you can see the planets each with its own color
and the constellations get up and play around
the sky until the sound of a dump truck firing
at the moment the green flash hits you from the
horizon line dawn wipes them away but you know
they are still there but you go home anyway
take a shower and as you come out into
the morning rays, you think to yourself
I love the smell of drums/space in the morning
a day on Indigo Creek
Lone elk grazing in a dawn-lit misty mountain meadowDarkness sees the light approach and hides among the shadows
I sit on a carpet green of grass and wild-flowers
While butterflies go dancing by rejoicing in sun showers
The rapids in the creek sing out in three-part harmony
With snow-melt from the source it rushes on with youthful glee
A raven glides on by hitching a ride upon a thermal
And at the core of every thing resides a love eternal
The sun sinks low and alpenglow illuminates the peaks
I see the light and hear the truth that Mother Nature speaks
Pioneers, Revolutionaries, and Scientists
The most powerful gift A connection to the spectrum light infinite.
Tears of silence meld into a clarity of peace and understanding.
Now the moments are left to strengthen a faith.
A re-belief the joyful interactions will remain
As more then memories for the sharing.
Together
Our heavenly orchestra perfects their art of healing, community and consciences.
Kindness, is compassion as shade
Welcomes their proper place under the soothing ease of a willow tree .
Please accept us as we reach to be with you.

Love Prevail.
As the flag of understanding was unfurled upon the highest plateau.
For the townsfolk, friends and all good people to gather.
Dancing in the spectrum of watercolor response.
Emotions closer as a last tear goodbye prevailed in love.
Of all that fundamental seraph can teach while in this life.
Light and Dark
People often speak in reverent tonesabout the speed of Light.
I am not so easily impressed,
when obviously Dark is faster than Light.
You want proof? Well, here you go.
Where ever Light goes, Dark is already there.
I'm more impressed by the power of Light.
Where ever Light goes, Dark leaves, and only
comes slinking back in when Light moves on.
Dark may be faster, but Dark is a coward.
Light is bold, and emboldening.
And it's in no particular hurry.
Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
Safe
It is safe to come out nowthe skies are all clear
the lions and tigers and bears
have all gone home to count their cake
and we are left to crawl out of
these holes in the ground unseen,
rubbled craters, smoking earth;
razed by the last administrators.
It is safe to come out now, you thinkers,
you poets, you dreamers;
the scary faced clowns have left the stage
muttering dark thoughts over their shoulders
they slink off into the ignominy of history
but we still too shaken to believe
are stuck in the language of yesterday.
It is safe to come out now, you can
draw, dance, freely speak your mind.
In fact it is highly recommended
For we will need your best dreams
To dream our way through
this next stretch
of road.
It is safe to come out now,
All is clear.
