Birds chirping and children at play
Folks smiling 'neath squinting sunshine

Open the box; take the money out now
Leave it alone, and swear a solemn vow

So you would talk half as much as you hear
Remember this biological fact
~ and affection you will gain from your peers...

Sauerkraut oozing out from the side
Served steaming hot, with mustard on top
My last sandwich be this ~ gladly I'll die...

Ignored by mom and dad, who'd not say boo
Yes, he became the man who went to jail
His view of right and wrong long gone askew...

To let go of one's soul
To sleep, to let go of one's soul
To be refreshed, restored, returned whole
To be cradled and cooed to throughout the night
Trusting in a process sublime, age-old...

STRAIN
Music have a simple beginning,
Unfinished can be a symphony,
There are no rhyme or reason for music,
An ear to hear and a mouth to sing.

I set out to write by brightest daylight
Looked up when I'd finished -- 'twas night
Had thought to revel in sunny, blue skies

Leap from the bed, need to stay ahead
of the upstart pack, baying for bloodshed
Visions of the abyss, from high on life's cliff
spur me to fight the daily battle for bread

Flowing from a person, thought, or treasure
Rather, that its object’s worth is boundless,
Valued for itself, beyond all measure.

Slip your hands from the twines of forlorn hours;

Think for a moment of what you decry:
Whatever it is you think to oppose,
Start first by asking both whether, and why.

Zest, jest and fest verse voice collage,
Wit, pun and way hurl charm right here;
Journey and quest words bless and touch,
Watch and see play bridge sacred cheer.

Something is in my heart’s heart
Died this morning I must restart
Pounding in my chest, nothing left
For my muscle now abstract art
