From Pan's sweet lullabies --
 Fawns wave her farewell...

An antelope
     bounded from rock to reed to
Dash the stream
      in a prismic mist....

Or a shadow to its form,
Duty's silent pull.

Stretch that chord,
Split that vowel,

    swaying in the breeze

  Better that than shelter need
    in winter's arctic freeze...

the dragonfly lands 
                            on a gently swaying reed

So much kept hidden inside
Open the windows of your soul

Resting your wings,
Buffeted by breezes,
Is your thin reed.
Soon you will fly again,
Into the sky,
Innocent are you,
Of what tomorrow brings....

And asked them for a cure for greed
They said, "Crystal Meth -
Or you could choose death -
But Fort Knox is where we keep seed!"...

Mist-shrouds are wrapping
Around the River Wyre's weir,
Rain-swollen waters...
Currents of secrets rushing,
Hushing reed-wrapped daffodils....

   Light lavender skies o'er water-fed willows

Reed-grasses to breeze's breath sway

   Life's fantasy, a riverbank in May...

Is that, through its emptiness,
‘Nother man pipes his own creed
To promote his own business!

Give yourself away
and allow the muse
to hollow out a reed
for the music of the spheres
that longs for your embrace
that longs to play in your heart
that longs to set you free....

I wish to sheer afar from people
who deem me as a broken reed
I dearly hate their nearness
I dearly dread of their
vicious words and deeds
cause  they will give 
me only
anguish
hate...

Should stampede so you can see Joy Reed,
During each  day,
Take breath away,
And in news market is now taking the lead.
