Light...
Light Wakes this World from its Slumber
Light...
Light Shakes this World by the Number
Light...
Light Bakes this World every Summer
Light...
Light Takes this World...What a Bummer!
The sun provides me light from without
My faith provides it from within
On days when no light shines on my skin
What’s within dispels any doubt
The road is long,
unexpected happenings
I found the perfect place to live,
not knowing the crisis I would endure
The waves rolled in,
The world spun around me
As I literally fought for my life
While I recover, I have many thoughts
I don't focus on the disruption to my new peaceful place
I am grateful for the timing, the lighter side of things
- that this didn't happen where I was before -

For those who want to ‘kill all the Jews’
Here’s some food for thought
Get a rabbi to extend Passover one more week
You’ll love what will have been wrought
For another week of ‘matzo only’
Jews’ stomachs will do somersaults
And that way it won’t be antisemitism’s fault
~ that our bowel functions came to a halt
I don’t like the da, da da, da dark
Keep the nightlight on, please!
I would rather sit in the park
With the Sun always on, you see
I for real really don’t like the dark
Especially when evil lurking shadows
Leep out at me, sneak up on me
I would really rather be
Kneading some luminescent Play Do
Eating some glowing (s)lime green Jello
Skipping silver dollars in the pool
Being a downright good fellow
I will not goof around like a fool
Just sipping da margaritas
And being really really mellow and cool
That’s me, mellow and cool

Not of importance
But Amazon now have a new department
dealing with customers who set fire to their own packages
A heavenly mix,
that gives a perfect fix.
They say blood is thicker than water,
a reverberating old proverb.
But, I object!!!
Course in the world I am living,
water is magic.
In the world I am living,
water is no different.
It can be lighter, but it is an anchor,
And blood can be thicker, but predominantly bitter.
Hence, the concept is invalid
to me, if not to anyone else.
Course in the world I am living,
Both hás volume.
Nice to be alone
With nature, it's welcoming
It's lighter, secure.
Where were you when JFK was shot
Who were you suing
A lawyer who can't remember that
~ his amygdala needs re-cuing
Vicky my poor widow and maid
I had to pause
and write you this page
A passing though my love has made
to mention you and the love I caged
My sight was your prisoner
when ever you were around
Desire well known deceptive clown
I fought the worlds reality
and defeat it with eternity
My love will out live time itself
A piece of my heart
sits on your shelf
Reminding me there's
no marriage in heaven
And with this
revive hope it's given
Confess to souls
before I leave this earth
A cigarette lighter
had given you birth
Known only to us
this secret code
The end of that night
this story unfolds
Wizards, witches and fairies
stake hold in their existence
and the hand of god offer no resistance
It is not decrepit and never grew old
The love I kept for you
will never grow cold
Many times I saw you
with deepest regret
not a year goes by
without your respect
I endure the suffering
my desire distains
And if I were rich
Love wouldn't wait to claim
Laugh at others while
they say it's a shame
Satisfy happiness while
wearing your name
No, It never goes out
this wanting claim
through time it's known as
this everlasting flame
Would not my eyes express delight
to see the flash upon the water bright
As porpoise play on mornings dawning day
I follow them and dance along the way
Could not my heart be lighter then a cloud
as rise the sun to lift my sleepy shroud
then greet some friends and smile in unison
we weave our days with love that is finespun
Should now this be my last to walk the Earth
I hope to leave some good that shines my birth
how precious you became in life to me
may memories lift hearts in absentee
I found fire
in the house
without a spark.
A whisper
snapping through flint.
I found fire
in me.
I looked up
and the blue orange evening sky
was there, and so was everything.
And the silent movement
of my face smiling
made me a flame
The lighter side, always the best
Laughter dissolves all pain
Acting not at ego’s behest
Worries to rest are lain
Learn from laughing Buddha
Pure life, free from stigma
Alpha and Omega
Joy throbs inside
The lighter side

Quietus
Give me the lighter
The days are dark
And cold
The egoistic evildoers
from the top
Controls the switchs of
Our Freedom in Africa
And beyond
In our world today
No wonder truth are
Hard to found on the lips
Of many
Is obvious how
Freedom is deep
Yet expensive in this era
And before now
Give me the lighter
The days are dark and grey
Everyone still fighting
Despite the change of time
The world is still far from unity
What else can we see
To realise what the time speaks
So I chose to life in the dark
Yes I refuse to be teasty
While standing in the clean rivers
Of water
please permit me to light up
The life I know
Permit me to inhale wisdoms
to exhale knowledge
Permit me please
while I chill and breath
With the trees of life
so please
Give me the lighter
