Emerald

Sometimes you need 
We all need 
To step outside ourselves 
And take another look 
Grab a break 
Pretend, dream and otherwise fake 

That you know whats going on 
Which path to take 

Then again 
Its good to roll with the smoke 
Giggle at nothing 
And share the joke 

Yes, I know
Drugs are bad 
Simple parachutes 
For the mad, sad and glad 
Looking to follow the latest fad

Ho Ho hee hee
Puff puff pass
Don’t be greedy 

Plenty to go around 
Hoochy hound 
The magic mess
Comes from the ground 

May I introduce you 
To the sound?
And lift the veil 
Of the deep long inhale 
Hold on to the smoke 
Then exhale 
Wait for the rush 
Then enjoy the silence 
Of the mental hush 

Watch the day melt away 
Take your thoughts out to play 
Beautifully lazy 
Is all I can say 

Come come 
Bring your lips and a lung 
Time to play hooky 
And get them eyelids hung 

Mary, Mary
How does your garden grow?

B.U.D.S.

Bring Us Delicious Smoke

Wonderful girl, 
Come take my mind for a whirl
LOL

Eric (and sometimes not)
