Original song: Go In Peace written by Sam Baker
Go and see what's waiting for you
Go and hear sweet angel's sing
I will come, and I'll be with you
When my time here is through
Then I'll fly above the stars
Away from sorrow, away from pain
To the place my heart longs for
To be with you, with you again
Go on wings of birds or angels
Nevermind,I know you'll fly
Your soul is light, no burdens hold you
Even my arms that held you tight
Like a butterfly you flew
Away from me but to your home
And although I ache to hold you
I have faith, I have hope
So don't look behind you darling
Fly straight and fly true
To strong arms that hold you safer
Then these arms ever could.
And if you do look down at me
From your heights of joy above
Don't be sad , don't be angry
Please forgive this mother's love

our new puppy Beau will not go into my husband’s office
I think he senses spirits in there.
I sense my husband’s father
My husband senses Native American spirits
Beau cannot be coaxed past the doorway.
Unfortunately, that is where our only doggie door is.
Our handyman Tony is coming tomorrow to install our new doggie door.
It cost us a pretty penny, but it will be worth it if Beau uses it.
At this time I am getting up every hour and a half to take him outside
during the time others get to sleep.

We buried our dog, Ding
With her favorite things,
Like our couch, plus our bed
And pillows for our head.
Our carpet she muddled
With dirt and pee puddles,
The window she stared through
To bark at who knows who.
The hedge she sniffed and chewed,
All of our leather shoes,
My truck’s passenger seat,
But not the children’s feet.
Two of our best chickens
She chased like the dickens,
Seven of my wife’s hats,
But not much more than that.
We paid a contractor
Who with a large tractor,
Dug a humongous hole
For our dear doggy’s soul.
And it did our heart good
Though we now sleep on wood;
Without a comforter,
Since we did comfort her.

moon’s tears do not pour
They trail out on top of the water
why do they not go in? asks grandchild
Gram loves it that he thinks she knows everything

Religious ritual’s call
requires it’s rules we recall,
thereby addressing our mind,
praying in a patterned grind.
Affirmations as belief
offers our soul no relief,
as yet barren without love,
head and heart not hand in glove.
We’re divided in God’s name,
although His message’s the same,
visible as love and light,
shining within all hearts bright.
Inner silence holds the key,
sans anger, lust and envy,
knowing God in-dwells each form,
felt as bliss magnetism warm.
Let us not attempt to cage
God in labels or upstage,
instead choosing to embrace
all souls, for mankind’s one race.
Love apart, what’s there to preach?
Let us widen our heart’s reach.
Shift’s simple, from head to heart,
so that’s where we need to start.
Aum-Amin-Amen

I once saw a bear on the prowl
Who, one night encountered an owl
The owl said "Who"
The Bear answered "Pooh"
I knew something smelled a bit fowl

discovered within, in stillness

heart tranquil, mind discontent, we pause time
we are here, yet wish to be elsewhere; why
within void of silence, heart softly chimes
bliss vibrancy high, soul lets desires die
all that remains, is the divine sublime

where do ants go in
winter time when grounds frozen
beneath grounds eating
all the stored up foods
gather during autumn rule
this is where ants go

“love waits on, for as long as it does take
for its lover, now asleep, to awake”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God awaits our embrace, within the heart!
Oh hermit! Keep not love waiting longer!
Ignition of bliss, each moment restarts!
Negate all falsehood; do not there linger!
Within our loving heart, is Gods wonder!
In but not of this world, be nonchalant!
The joyous bliss is for those free of want!
Hold not onto desires and fears fleeting!
Ink heart with flame of love luminescent!
Neophyte to master, thus our blossoming!

“Moment to moment, all moments entwined
Each throb complete, nothing to be divined”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Who am I’ being a question futile
Sew ego, oh hermit, to gently flow
Spew no toxins upon our heart fertile
Renew light of joy; be free and aglow
Purify being in thought, word and deed
Electrify form with rapture of bliss
Vivify the mind, let bliss currents breed
Glorify nothing save Gods love caress

A room with a view
So many windows
Each landscape lovely
Only one is void
Mirror of our self
Where do we go
Inward, outward
Do we delight
In the surprise
Child within
Innocent
A charmer
Woo him
Love him
Now

It's not the heat
It's the humidity
that makes me sweat
and want to scree
m-at any fool who
approaches me
It clings to my shirt
and my underpants
Colossal red fire ants
(Pause)
inciting me to
rap and rant
in polysyllabic
barnyard chants
I let cuss words go
in falsetto
all the way
to Kokomo --
Indiana, they do flow
then stream on to Mexico
How did you know...
(Grand Finale)
Ratchet up the fire
just one notch higher
I'll breathe my last
in the town of Dyer --
Indiana...
