Both Sides Now'Both Sides Now' on YouTube Music
by Joni Mitchell
Poet's lyrics:
Bows on solemn flower blooms
and scented layers of flared perfume
flow down rows of headstones and tombs.
I've looked at death that way.
But now I tend to ask God why
people visit and freshly cry.
All know when our precious ones die
they rise on His stairway.
I've looked at death from both...

utmostI have a confession to make. I’m a trust fund baby
and a member of the educated Elite.
In my defense, I'm a newcomer in both categories.
I got my trust fund at 18 and graduated Yale University this year.
I was a double major, at university, in biochemistry and celibacy,
until as a sophomore, I met this tall, handsome,...

Blue-Eyed BoyBlue-eyed baby.
Eyes as blue as the ocean.
Hair as blonde as the sand at the shore.
Blue-eyed baby, how you’ve changed my world.
Blue-eyed boy, how you’ve grown.
How I love you more than all the shells in the sea.
Shine, my beautiful blue-eyed boy, may you brighten the day of everyone you meet as...

Life After Delivery: A Tale of TwinsTwin babies float in their mother’s womb
growing strong they'll be delivered soon
communicating to each other in their way
experiencing so much, and much to say
Twin one said, shaking his head,” we are getting old…
and soon we'll be delivered as foretold.
Do you think brother, there will be more?
A life after delivery on that far shore?”
Twin...

Using her imagination, how I wish I could look inside too.
She’s grown...

Baby StepsI'll take them one by one
Won't think too far ahead
Day by day until that day
When someday's here, instead
When someday's now today
When waiting is no more
When baby steps turn somersaults
I'll cartwheel to your door...

MY BABYMy baby Fumi
She never fools me
She always gives me butterflies
In my tummy
She's so funny
But not cunning
She's just like my mummy
She always stands for, by and with me.
She always puts me
Under detention
Without pressure or tension
But just to gain my attention
Because I take her to different dimensions
Leading...

I Found Her HeartbrokenI found her spirit heartbroken;
she needed someone who would listen.
Her hot tears made my own eyes glisten
as on and on she labored, outspoken.
In time, her story would in part, soak in;
she wanted her baby to be christened.
I found her spirit heartbroken;
she needed someone who would listen.
A neighbor’s harsh words had woken
her to the fact,...

LightSleep, little baby Aaru,
Tonight
the sky writes your name
in light.
You will blaze.
You will scatter
joy like seeds.
You will be
the light
that makes
darkness dance....

Baby Duck Testing Boundaries - Not A SwanBaby Duck Testing Boundaries – Not A Swan
If I Could Choose My
Superpower, “Oh
Genie Of The 1001
Lamps… All Lamp Lights…”
It Would Be
Non-Conformity…
Perspectives Are
Hidden Everywhere,
Many Still Absolutely
Unique.
And Because It’s
An Actual Power,
Nobody Can Say:
“He's One Of Those,
Or He's One Of These..
We Know That Kind,
Make Sure It's Fixed…”
Because It Is SUPER!
No Need To Fix.
If This Sounds Familiar

You Are HomeMother's arms reach
across any distance.
Your breath becomes
her heartbeat.
Love flows
like morning light
through eyes
that see all of you.
In your blood runs love,
steady as sleep,
bright as stars.
Birds call your name
in gardens
you've never seen.
Flowers wait,
remembering your
small hands.
Old songs echo forward
you inherit
belonging like breath.
Past, present, future
the world turns...

Your Smile Is As Cute As A Baby Seal'sYour smiles frozen over,
and you stand tall above the water
like an iceberg, so tall and elegant
in your presentation.
But surface-level trickery
can’t fool or satiate
my scuba diver
curiosity.
I see through your
poorly constructed ruse.
I prep my gear,
dive deep into your ocean,
and discover that underneath
the surface-level beauty lies dormant
a bummock of cuts and bruises.
The true nature of things,
the true nature...

My Baby Doll - Part IXYou were my baby doll and I owned you for almost seven years.
You were my all time favorite dog and I wish you were still here.
You were very special, wonderful and unique.
When I found you dead, it was sad and bleak.
I had to dig a hole and bury you in the ground.
I would be happier...
