This sweaty life I live

sought an army from beyond
their lies the fawn

in a brigade of song
torn

there's something you ought to know...

lightning bolts
from
the 
charge of
the

clouds
strike the 
hearts of men
who 
sing out loud
thy
kingdom come
and
thy
will be done...

Tulip Brigade
Dutch bulbs
Proudly lead the spring parade
Amid charming, twirling windmills
Imperative highlight of Neverlands
Among cobweb-free brick homes
Forward march please
Tulip brigade...

Cover me in diamond dust; I will shimmer bright.

I no longer wish to be marching in the invisible brigade; I wish to march in future in big and bright parades.

Let me be a light....

Don't follow the brigade for too long.
Trust your better ways!
And not the ones frozen in the ground.
The ones you can barely catch.
Enliven those around you.
And when their glow doth wither,
Throw a pancake in their face....

fought back those sullen tears
brow to big
to get ahead of the plan
the wandering hand

in the brigade of man
a happy tune loosed in June
the pull of my heart
to light the spark

a mellow choice
to ask the world to rejoice...

Polar Bear Brigade manned their enormous 747 airplane.
They jumped in their warships and they sailed past Maine.
They were ready to take on congress or the prez or the police.
Their ice floats are melting! This is a travesty to say the least!...

On Dad’s 75th, instead of singing,
we recited cadence.
On the video from 9 years prior,
Dad points out Mom’s huge smile
and I point out his.
I see his family line all likewise grinning,
joining in the smile brigade
from heaven’s open window....

Passion fish and apple dots and gold stamps kissing mountain tops.
Wood deserts and cat tail suits and flowers licking parachutes.
Marble caves and lemonade, I think I'll join the light brigade.
Candle mice are twice as nice as gold fish orange twining....

Help!

Karma Sutra the book that I got
since our love life was not very hot
arms and legs interweaved
but the Fire Brigade leave
since they're no good at untying knots!

selling the story
the goblin laughs at his sophomore effort
last year was rich
this year sweat shrouded the air
it was verscal in its effect

Do we still believe in dreams
as the sun shines daily
fortune most fugit
the autumn brigade has began

Breezing in on angel wings
With a prayer still lingering in the air
The faerie brigade surrounded the child’s bed
Cancer? Someone asked. The others nodded.
They sent her life and love.
They lifted her up and they stole her away
With gentleness only angels and faeries have....

we are living in uncertain times
a fair weather friend a nursery rhyme
eye taunt to the fabric of the lens
let's learn to depend

history tends to repeat itself
left us wandering in a swift brigade
soft parade
in uncertain times

columns of fire
quenched for your burden of desire...

We are crisp green vines looping and curling
Beautifying the dark red brick buildings
Of universities, decorating churches

Gardners revel in our natural sharpness
Adorning planters, baskets and planters
Bringing verdant green plant to life

We are the ivy brigade
Prancing our purity and freshness
In spring and summer...
