Ghosts of the Sun Dance

1. The Path

A quest dating back through our history
Surpassing the flesh, a spiritual path
Human endurance, road to mystery
Dark trail winding through the gardens of wrath

It echoes through me, this deep ambition

Each day’s (we’re alive) one more leaf that has fallen
from tree (Fate’s collusion?), our edifice grown
with the help of light garnered from sources outside
of our provenance, moisture, and minerals,
‘cheap’s’ turned to ‘gold,’ not by Chemistry’s...

There are moments when troubles enter our life’s
And we can do nothing to avoid them
But the one's we can
They look convoluted unless we demystify
But we think they are byzantine
As we think the mysteries in them...

Rum had heard the rumour, “There’s a great new movie out.”
He asked around to find out what the plot might be about
It’s a tale of dogs so naughty, folk won’t go outdoors
Twas Ronnie Rat that...

Sam Adams 
Lived in Medford Oregon
Where he ran a vacation home business
And was part of the Ashland Chamber of Commerce
Who were his adopted family

One day he was out on the mountain highway
Outside of town
When ...

Standing reverent in a dull cast mist
glazing my cheeks while prayers were said
so silent stood at Rand's memorial
My mind dashed to the self-drawn sketch
he staged as "The Youthful Raconteur";
profile, pipe, wavy cinema legend hair -
his...

Miscommunication, is fabrication of reality
When actually it’s a matter of perspective.
She was a standout, with a name similar to yours
With pure intentions, painful convictions but losing to her own dispositions.
Deprivation of her moral mentality structure...

The Irish band was playing on a Vermont Green
People brought their outdoor chairs, it was a charming scene
I got carried away, tried to sing along
But from the looks on the faces, I'd done them all...

Living for the Lord means
I can’t always have my own way
Doing things that can destroy me
With the sin that I want to forget
Forgive and move on to the present

Living for the Lord means
I put all...

Darkness is all I see,
I look into the light, but darkness prevails.
And from the darkness, comes pain,
An old friend from the past.
Pain is all that I use to be,
All the drugs and alcohol were masks...

Through many misadventures.
It's you I seek.
Climbing the many stairs that lead me to my goal.
It's never enough.
Through the laterals of vault jumps.
Through the brick and mortar of red paths.
I still see them when I close my eyes.
No...

Get not bitter
If an insidious issue under consideration you flatter
Cos a situation abnormal can get better

If only your blinkered eyes can see
Life ain’t all about gung-ho glee
Cos common sense can make you free

To roam free...

A Tribute To A Major Appliance

Long live my awesome stove!
A gift from His mother, and 
Intentions not as dark as hell.
Cooking and burning, as you see,
Will go hand in hand, 
Till my very last breath.
Inseparable...

How mysteriously mythical
And mystical you look
Magnificently minute 
Maritime majestic migrants
More than marginally manic
Mesmerizing meanderers
Masterpieces
Peacefully going about
Your business
Magical make-believe
Monarchs of the sea
Upright and elegant
In your mannerly march

Moonstruck prone to 
Misfortunes and misadventures
Oft mostly monologuing 
In monotonous...

For an instant we are sunned and golden, lounging by the pool,
An arch suspended like a bridge, or cathedral, above our satisfaction,
And while eyes behind sunglasses narrow to slumber
Our dreams play a degraded video:

First, the...

significant and alarming rises in deaths
shootings
murders

mow the lawn
go shopping
watch football
crack open cold ones
make babies
jiggle babies on laps

significant hurricanes and tornados
there are deaths

baby showers
graduations
weddings

domestic violence is significantly up
up being a surge
of consumer consumption
of cars and televisions...
