There’s a lot going on
Gotta keep calm
Keep the head strong
Without headstrong
Erase the wrong
Give space for light
Insight
For song
It won’t be long
Make good on the promise
To try n’ be honest
The answers will surface
And all turns out best
Suffice to say
Good news is on its way

From the day of birth
Home is Earth
’til the day I die
Under Her sky
When skies are grey
On my way
To figure how near
Is “in the clear”

Under clear skies
The “whether” looks good ahead
Under clear skies
Better than being dead

As I walk the land
Try n’ understand
How to increase the value
To you
Maybe with less impact
Spare the whack
Pass the message through
Unto you

Do you even give a damn about the little ones
Would you even shed a care
Is it you you damned with your “said and done’s”
Would you even care to share
Actions speak louder than any words
Be it ploughshares or swords
Indeed, if the deed is due
And do do’s due, too

Do you even give a damn about the eldest ones
Would you even shed a tear
Is it you you damned with your “said and done’s”
And your maker do you fear?

Do you even give a damn about the “here and now”
Do you even care to care
Is it you that damned your future somehow
Would you even share a care?

Grasping it more complete
Getting down

The world turns about
Letting out
Taking in
The world turns about

How can anything to wrong
The Earth moves along

Had to put it back together
When the sunset set
It was “hard” to get over
SO, I took out my guitar to play
And, say what I had to say:
“Never forget
Live with no regret
As the days pass by
Always wonder why?”

May another day
Come our way
And as light
Turns to night
Let us play away

(Are you going alone?)
Into the great uncharted known

Further out than any soul
Ventured to stroll

Breathe out
Breathe in
Far up memory lane
Kind-of hard to explain
If you’ve never been
Again
Is a mere possibility
If you didn’t get to see

Gave up “Flat Earth Society”
When plopped at birth… due to gravity

Tales of chemtrails never fails
To let the light shine through on you

Ask you “know” questions
You tell “know” lies
Comes as no surprise
Did your brain get going
Without you knowing?
Got up and left
Leaving the daft
… leaving no mind behind

What do you know about GMO?
So, do you sow your own row?

Amongst a billion reptilian
Give the alien race space

Ask you “know” questions

There’s a bounce in your hair
With blooms of sweet perfume

Senses become aware
Flowerchild blossom… and then some
Wall-to-wall carpet of green
Fills the scene
Graced by lavender lace
… love this place

Altitude in attitude
Vibration elevation
A melody session
Full of passion
Pours from the pores
Of what the spring brings
The songbird sings
Whistling words of wisdom
In Her kingdom

Incoming! Incoming!
Pilot to bombardier
If death you fear
You better hunker down
Hunker down!
Out fox the fox
Take command of her
Whole hole
Goal: foxhole
Hunker down
Quit foolin’ round
A serious situation
To the conundrum of a different drummer
Emancipation frustration
Incoming in comer
Where there is a will
There is a way
This will will weigh

One toppled over backwards
The other fell to his knees
Ode to the power of our words
No , you can’t just do as you please
Oh, the cons of pronouns
The proposition of a preposition
A Book Of Proverb of verbs
…. observes….

As one becomes dumbfounded
Another is astounded
Words are mightier than swords
And in lifting spirits onward
Oh the pros of conjunctions
Or adjectives that agitate
Perplex with sentences complex

Something tells me
We’ve been here before
Wait! Stop now
Peculiar ritual walking in a circle
Before going further any more
Better straighten out some how
Now!
No need to panic
If you think quick
About the basic facts
… just relax
’cause anxiety
Will screw you for sure
Wait! Stop now
Just relax
Don’t have a heart attack
Try saying a nursery rhyme
To bring you back into time
1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4
Mary had a little lamb
And tied it to a heater
Every time it turned around… it burned it’s little seater

Seven days in a week
You’re saying red rover, red rover?

When you whisper rumors down the lane
Will it ever end the same
If it’s follow the leader, I’m your man
Come on! Can you kick the can?

Spin the bottle is the only game

Ever since his birth
But, aren’t we all mineral… after all?
Some say we’re made from clay
They don’t kid ’bout Adam’s rib
Hard to believe they made ‘er Eve
From dust to dust to dust to dust
Ohhh, the greed… the lust
To dust to dust to dust
Heaven or bust!
Just a hitchhiker on this mass
Don’t mean to be a smacked ass
But, when ya teach hypocrisy class
I just don’t know how long I’ll last
A passenger of the orbit
Really hoping to absorb it
If our days are numbered… spread wit

Ohhh, the greed… the lust

Feeling overdue
So something simple will do
Are you feeling it, too?
Do you feel it? Do you?

Running here n’ running there
It’s not clear
Where is there
Or if I’m near

Feather ruffle caught up in the shuffle

Or should I fear?

Get a grip n’ take a dip
It’s come clear
There is there

To refrain from going insane
It try to maintain play every day
When I was very young
I started to hum
Wasn’t too long ’til you could hum along
The period brief ’til I had teeth
This’ll be my time to whistle
Then look at me learn to tickle ivory
How about a bugle call to rally ya’ll
To come out and play a song
Or just sing along
And if by chance you can dance?
We might even foster romance
Faster foster, foster faster… enhance

The years went by and I didn’t die
So, I gave the guitar a try
Took me back to the days
When I was young
And learned how to hum
Though through the years there was grief
At least I still have my teeth
So, this’ll be the break to whistle
[whistle Andy In Mayberry Theme song]

Come on down

The way that things
Can be

Creates our destiny
Wills free

The ice is cracking under your feet
You’d better not wait
To spread your weight
Toward the shoreline I’d retreat
You’d better not wait
Noooo… I wouldn’t hesitate

Avoiding the frozen depths
Plunging dark and deep
Embracing the length and breadth
Death at arm’s length keep
… life kept

The wind is blowing you off your feet
You’d better not wait
To drop your weight
Don’t want to fall on your seat
You’d better not wait
Nooo… I wouldn’t hesitate

The lesson: Mother Nature I can not defeat
Nor can I outwait
The human is a light weight
I’ll show respect ever time we meet
Smile, bow, with open arms greet

If I was sitting
Over there
The only big difference in my view
Would be me… sitting on you
Might cause a big tadoo?

If it all falls together
All depends on whether
We call
(after all if we call after all)
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all pull together
The chances of whether
Fall
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all get together
Decide what’s “whether”
We’ll quell
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all join together
A crier / choir of “whether”
Hall / haul
(concert hall / sound haul)
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

Feeling the pain

Face-to-face
Is your point-of-view
Going to rat on you?

Splatter back on you

Embracing the pain
Of a lame membrane

Feel the pain of the cold bold insane

Heaven is on Earth
The older and wiser I become
The more I believe
This is the Kingdom
Kingdom come
Some may think the thought dumb
But, I for one
Fine a miracle in my birth
God! It’s heaven on Earth
This is the Kingdom
Kingdom come

[jam]

A habitable habitat
Where we’re freed to breed
What more could I ask for
Freed to love like never before
Can you tell me…
Who could ask for more?

[jam]

Yes, yesterdays may fade away
So I make the most of every day
Will it end? the evidence is strong
So, the in-between I mean
To bring along
Bliss in the Kingdom
Kingdom come
This is the Kingdom
Kingdom come

As we reach the end of our rope
What we need is a good dam joke
Something we can all agree
Is downright knee-slapping funny
Seriously, something funny
With welcomed side-splitting agony
In the stream of consciousness
I heard a beaver say to us
Dam it! Dam it good! Good, dam it!

Interrupting my flow of thought
… or so I thought
But, believe it or not
We continued on… merrily
Merrily… life is but a dream
Know what I mean
There’s satisfaction in the realization
That the life we’re living
Is living in loving

In the stream of consciousness
I heard a beaver say to us
Dam it! Dam it good! Good, dam it!
Now, I’m a beaver believer

If he had a spine
‘stead we raised a fuss

Days are numbered to being young
Speaking from both sides it’s said
Will likely wind you up dead

To go from fission

As part of a nuclear family

No, I’m not being lazy

Totally void of mean

The light of atomic energy
Can shine for eternity

If the middle’s all undone

Amen

The rapid pace of anthropology
To save face… my apology

Destined to be pristine fossil fuel
Is that all there is to it
Destined to be pristine fossil fool

When a creature’s comfort is you
Draw me near to the time of year
When I’m your creature’s comfort, too

Her day’s due a re-do

Could this long, long lonely season
Be through passing through
Searching for rhyme and reason
In everything you do

Time to be subdued
Lewd, rude, crude

All of us, just trying to get through
Following orders… hut, 1, 2
Starting to think that just won’t do
In your eyes

Eyes on the prize
Life before it dies

Drum Castle

Stuck inside your castle walls
Waiting ’til the kingdom falls
Can’t escape your nightmares
Regain hope and lose your fears
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before it dies
Life before us lies

The captain says you may move about
Just as long as you don’t venture out
Quite the contrary revolutionary
Weight of the world on your shoulders carry

We’ll go marching
We’ll go marching
Will go marching
On parade
Not afraid
To exercise
Freewill
Beyond wade
Gonna swim
I am
We’ll go swimming
We’ll go swimming
Will go swimming
In the see
Time to be
The eye of I’s
Freewill
Gonna fly
We will
We’ll go flying
We’ll go flying
Will go flying
Into the eye
Hurricane of the brain
Train sane
The kind to mind the mind kind
King mind

Why do you think it is…
Is turns to was?
What’s all the fuss
What’s all the buzz
’cause I’m telling ya…
It always does

When do you think will…
Will stand still?
Hoping it’s long until
We lose that thrill
’cause I’m asking ya…
Have you had your fill?

Now find out how…
How is right now
Maybe time will allow
Us to love the “wow!”
’cause she’s telling us
Seize the here and now
Turning sword into plough
Sowing seeds that endow

Flip your lid and fill ‘er up
No quid pro quo measuring cup
A deal’s a deal be it love or war
Hypocrisy will cut it no more
Wade into the spotlight
The colors fade
No shade of gray is white
Right can not trade
Gonna run
Or stick to your guns
Gonna fight
Or spread wings for flight

Done you did and that is that
Egg-on-face big fat cat
Choke it up… feed kitty
Owing dues sure ain’t pretty

I see the memory
Distorts reality
The good ole days
Aren’t as good as todays
History passes before rose colored glasses
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

My recollection
Tinged by selection
The glory days
Aren’t as good as todays
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

I see that the dream
Can be seen
The scene of yesterdays
Isn’t as good as today’s
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

Today’s quite O.K.
Evermore tomorrow
I’ll let the past pass
And grab now while it lasts
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

One at a time
Going down the line
Two at a time
Double-down divine
Feeling fine

And what about
Three strikes you’re out
Before four
Just need one more
Four sure

Barely alive
Passing by five
Not a peep
At six feet deep
… that’s deep!

Dead on
Hit the nail on the head
Carry on
Unflail the dread
Dawned on
Enlightened my head
Beyond
where the logic led
Philosophy wed
(Fertile field bred)

Please excuse me
Did somebody lose me
And would you hear
“Where do we go from here?”
Where do we go from here

Please steer clear
Getting too near
It’s easy to see
We don’t want to go there
Aware, we don’t want to go there

Meander away
Bewildered all day
What do you say
Maybe we lost our way
Perhaps we lost our way?

Seal the fate of the seal

Thinking about the blood flow
Making it go head to toe
I amaze myself
With physical existence wealth
Don’t even need to think to blink
Nor flick a switch to start the heart
Into the craze
Of the ways that amaze
“I’m alive!”
Drive, body, drive
