i hope you never stop singing
a songbird beloved who moves with intention
will find themselves in times of trouble
mother mary on their bustier—
a sight for those with the privilege to see.
stands on a paddleboard oaring towards me.
embodies a world full of pain in their bones
and their muscles

Please keep on singing
Tie me like Ulysses,
I don’t want
run to death
hearing those songs!
Bind me Lord!
But you keep on singing!
The sins are not yours
for the shores I crave
or the eyes I seek
or the thrills of my restless soul!
I beg you to keep on singing.

SINGING SOLO
songer.co/songs/d13xwglmtpey1ifgc5pvm4kc
[Verse 1]
Remember meeting on a whim,
First night stars in the dim,
Loving me, forgetting him,
It felt like lyrics from heaven, a sweet hymn.
Those early days, all together,
Made me light as a feather,
No way on earth to deny,
How you made me so high.
Every cloud above knew my name,
Now I’m wrapped in this pain,
Wishing for those days, driving

Murder Beneath a Singing Tree
Bejeweled flyers
chatting away merrily
singing harmony to a silent sentient God
Maybe they're trapped in indigo agony
shaking our toxins from their beaks.
What do they think of the awkward rock
beneath them...
Maybe they're conspiring
to murder me.

One Of These Days
One of These Days by FFH
Lyrics
One of these days I'm gonna fly
Over the mountain
One of these days I'm gonna ride
On the silver lining
One of these days I'm gonna witness
All I've been missing
One of these days
One of these days I'm gonna do
All the things that I've never done
I'm gonna finish all the races
That I've run but

Sing Along With Summer
Summer stares, graceful
as the quiet chirps
birdsong, let’s sing along…
joy unfolding, on wings
listening for His voice
in the heart, the soul, anyplace
growing old, while the summer
restores the heart, the soul
breaking out in sweats of golden
sunlight, bursting from the heat
melodies so sweet…
gently playing against the ache
of a silent knowing,
His love unfolding, like a distant
star, reflecting all

THE SINGING OF THE BIRDS
At our cabin in the mountains we love to wake up early
as the day is just beginning…
and listen to the birds warm up…
as they ready their voices for the singing.
Each bird has just awoken from their nighttime sleep
or just arrived at our outdoor concert hall
and each needs a few moments before the dawn
To prepare their

Singing a Song in Honor of the Wind
Melody of the west wind
Wafts into the courtyard
Tickling the fresh buds of an apple tree
I am enthralled, excited, enthused
Singing commences
A ditty I make up in honor of wind
An appreciative cloud gives me a nod
I feel validated
Oak tree scoffs
He is not as easily won over as wind or cloud
Matters not, I continue singing the wind song
Feeling

DAILY GRATITUDE RUMI AND SINGING BIRDS
Today I’m grateful for the poet Rumi’s understanding of singing birds
from the largest raven…to the smallest bobolink…
I want to sing like the birds sing…he said
Never worrying about who is hearing me
or worrying about what they think.

They Cried Out To Their Maker
And the children cried out to their Maker
Bless us Lord, we receive Your loving peace
They all clamered 'round about Him
Singing and dancing, the Lord was pleased
They came upon a leper
His body wreaked, his eyes were dim
He dare not raise his eyes to Jesus
He was crippled but he really loved Him
Finally they left, the sun

When We Lose Our Voice or Imagine Being Surrounded By Singing Trees
There are many times,
When we are stuck,
Like when a player exclaims, “Checkmate!”,
And our king falls, as it is struck.
At that point,
The game is lost,
It is over,
Despite how we were flossed.
There are also moments,
When we need to perform it right,
There’s only one chance,
To match time and heart’s delight.
One of those occasions,
Might be to propose,
At

There's A River Meandering Through The Mind
It is a beautiful spring day,
birds are singing their little hearts out.
I am rocking in my favorite rocking chair,
as a cool breeze covers me like a blanket.
What could get better than this,
I ask - as I sit and ponder?
"There's a river meandering through the mind,"
with many thoughts.
Thoughts are running wild,
like the river meandering around

I'LL KEEP SINGING ANYWAY
Every echo that falls from your shadowed line,
Or silence that hums like a hymn half-said
Ah, I hear… sorrow speaks through you
So yes, I know —You're the song my soul has bled
Each branch that bows where the breeze once played,
Or the stillness where sunlight used to stay
Ah, I see… beauty fades without you
So yes, I know
