Visit a place where you’ve not been before
And the first thing you face is the sturdy front door.
Of fiberglass, oak, tempered glass, even steel,
The entryway should have a certain appeal.

My country home door, though, was streaky with rust.
The paint was all puckered, the cracks filled...

he said Come,
stay with me.
be my girlfriend,

we shall dance and sing,,,
will give you flower ring
will fly high with soar wings

will sit upon rocks,
Seeing birds in flocks,
walk by shallow rivers,
ooh watch valleys hills and fields,
woods, groves and mountain yields,

nightingale singing melodies,
peacock dancing wings open,
squirrels giggling kissing,
deer...

She whispers in winds
as limbs dance.
I’m back she says-
I’ve come back
from the frozen ground.
In her left hand
a bag of seeds
and I steal a glance
out the window
as she stands on the porch.
She says she’s my dreams-
she says she’s a god
bringing to life
a lawn turned brown
and to...

I broke the front door
I was so angry last night 
It fell to the floor...

We introduce new words to Henry
Every time we’re there.
He soaks up everything we say;
He’s focused and aware.

He knows the numbers of his house
And all the words as well
That describe the door and entry way – 
The mailbox, knocker, bell.

But I’d never pointed out a sight
I...

Every day I pass it by
This house of solid wood,
I would like to go inside,
If only that I could.

It has a large veranda
All across the front
And lovely dormer windows
Where the occupants look out.

Each time that I walk by it
I feel the warmth inside,
It makes me...

open beaks of Spring —
baby birds in choral chirp
hungry for a worm

Out my front door; I know the way,
but to what end, I cannot say.
Encumbered by my earthly things,
no seraphim, on stainless wings
I skyward launch into the cloud.
Once Icarus, a boy too proud,
brought low to once again embark
and hurtle headlong in the dark
towards unfamiliar continent,
there, rest...

A FRONT DOOR DU JOUR

It might be because I broke so many rules
It might be because I followed too many fools
It might be due to the life I have led
And that’s why I am halfway dead

Perhaps it was the voice of thunder
Or the spell I...

To the front door they do come
Many witches and goblins shine
Seeing my house they’re overcome
For the decorations are all in line
Scary enough for even the divine
Jack-O-Lanterns are lit from inside
And skeletons laying on their side
Children love my house at night
And the candy they get they...

My wooden front door holds an empty cross.
I use shimmering scraps, and lower cost.

Many oval shapes sports colors of Xmas.
Simplicity holds beauty, taped for us.

I hold to belief, we are all artist.
Hands of change showers us on short notice.

I ponder ways of the Holy Spirit.
Each...

Word Lyric For Music #3

“Finding Repast at the Front Door”

Melissa and her sister are on the floor,
Dancing in circles without shoes, as before,
Dancing like tomorra’ might not shine,
Sipping white whales and bottles of red wine,
They were seeking a brace of yes men, heretofore,
Now they’re finding...
