I want this to be enough to make this
The last song ever, the last note ever
The last romantically, poetically sad excuse for an apology, epilogue
But I've already messed up the...

Joyful and friendly creatures in God’s grace

A village heaven has gifted, a prize
The most grandiose of rainbow arches
The villagers, spirited because March is

I stood on the corner this morning
Absorbing the fresh morning air
listening attentively to the morning news
That has everyone so upset and confused
The morning sun is just peeping out
with its orange and yellowish color
Stirring lazy bodies...

The Epitaph of Earth may soon be writ
Upon the memory of a glory gone
For all things bright and beautiful, that inter-fused with death
Like harmony and breath have fled as one

I glance at your poker face
You still say I am a disgrace
Leave me with a trace of hope

I don't mind,
Being so blind

I don't mind
If I lost my mind
Or get left behind…

God loves me with love...

Though out of breath,
she ran through the crowd
Muscles contorting,
showing her determination and strength
"I can't wait to show him off" she thought out a loud
The sisters would be green with envy
I will show them
yes! Gato can...

You know, I could be Kipling
channel a fancy humoring tale
have all of you begging of lyrics more gracious
such as this, a mystic masterpiece made for this generation
Come on, dabble me with praise

Kenny is suddenly,
 Luminously, animated;
with a grin that could crack a safe!
He whistles to get your attention,
then beckons you over
to the parted curtains.

He has something 
to share with you.

The enchanted forest
Of Le Drizzle Aleaf,
Where trees become giants 
And the roots become feet,
And the sky is distorted
By foliage sheets
Overlapping in rhythmic
Melody with the breeze.
And the trees, oh the trees
A vastness to see,
Abundant in creation...

From the trail on the hill

I wish I was the wind
For she is lighter than feathers
And never has to worry
About gaining even an ounce
From the load she carries
With a whisper from her lips

She dances, lithe and lean
Through the stale space...
