In the parade

Rarely do we truly see ourselves

as we parade through life

Shine

Your star will shine

with the harmony of heaven

Who

who are we today,

what we won't be tomorrow,

and never were yesterday....
we know but ignore

Fall Apart

The past is constantly forgotten

left to crumble and fall apart
as it should...

Learning to Fly

We can fly if we learn to let go

and let our wings carry us

Reach Out

Reach out and you'll be surprised

at the connections possible

Our Connection

Our connection awaits

Clearing

When we're gone

all will become clear

Crippled

A mind not free

is crippled

unable to see the truth

On Stormy Seas

Strength of spirit

is found on stormy seas

there to lead us on

Good Fortune

Good fortune is everywhere

if we choose to see it....

or not.

Feast

Delight in the feast of life

Free and unencumbered

Let your mind reflect on what it will

free and unencumbered

Ride the Wind

Our days are like riding the wind

when we learn to set ourselves free

Potions

We pretend all is well

or seek out potions when they're not

each day further removed

from what really matters

Unexpected

Each corner we turn

brings the unexpected

Danger Ahead

Funny you should mention assassinations

after the Kennedy things went down

Pete locked himself in a room

and ordered a bulletproof wardrobe from Sears

Have You?

Have you ever seen the swelling

while standing upon the shore

the reflected light makes the waters glow

before darkness engulfs the sea

watch the waves come and go

before night comes calling

and the day's absorbed....

Fever

When the fever of delusion passes

all will be clear....

Life is Sweet

Savor the moments

for life is sweet

After the Fire

She had tough choices ahead

the fire had taken everything

the foul stench of death had left

leaving her alone to collect her thoughts

Consequences

Possibility is endless

like the consequences of choice

Locked Up

So let's discuss this latest trend, monkey look-alikes.

Everywhere you go someone is bound to be acting like a monkey and getting all the girls...

Sure you can tell the difference - it's the smell

Yea, everyone wants to be a monkey, but nobody wants to smell like one.

You notice all the school kids?

Planet of the Apes lunch boxes!

Teachers are having a fit...

Math class filled with kids holding up fingers for answers....

makes it a pain to erase mistakes

Monkey wrenches now outsell all other tools

Kids don't want piggyback rides, they say "Monkey on your back"...

You ever see a monkey imitator hang a pink BA? Disgusting!

Animals in schools are next...

How long until your daughter comes home with the gorilla on the football team?

All this monkeying around

Next, they'll tell us we came from apes!

Well I'm one whoo haaugh, uh, won't beeeee!

Ua awg, be a uh ooh ah ohah ooh a, a monkey's uncle!

I'm sorry!

Southbound

I'm southbound baby

I can't take you any more

I'm taking my things

and walking out that door

I'm southbound baby

the tears start when night comes

each heartbeat brings me down

sorrow somber sorrow

movement repetitive intuition

gloominess a boat

lost in the sea of my mind

I'm southbound baby 

I'll take whatever I find

Empty-Handed

Grasp at illusion and you'll end up empty-handed

In our souls

Graveyards are more full of life than most people know,

with seasons and crops of their own,

little flags for fathers that fought,

flowers for mothers in their cemetery plots,

plastic Christmas trees brought from home,

picnics had with family in tow.....

all to remember the dead...

keeping their memory in our souls

Set Free

Without direction, some are lost,

others set free....

Below the surface

Avail the unknown

there lies the answer

just below the surface

Spontaneity

Spontaneity is the only principal to be concerned with...

Blurred

The lines of time blurred

scant traces of our passing
