Self soother naysayer tell me a fairy tale please
speak out a story that lingers soft as the breeze
Rein me in tight - by the light of an undulate sea
talk to me gently and rock me as if you were me
Calming yourself with a dream, let it be let it be
recall the walls of the sea and set yourself free
Self soother naysayer tell me a fairy tale please,
speak out a story that lingers with gentle appease.

Lesser as I cried softer felt my pain,
When muffled loud sobs soother felt my pain.
With a power-saw I cut me into two,
Gave me solace, the succour soothed my pain.
Dwelling on my hurt and its remedies,
Ever the more severe felt my pain.
Yea, like a dog I chewed on painful bone,
Like a piece of great bother felt my pain.
No one came, no one went, none talked of it,
Nor yet mind mused and smoother felt my pain.
Years passed since hurt happened, and then one day
We laughed together. Whither went my pain?
Some pains are born with us and grow with us,
You age and ere ye know, older gets pain.

In the tranquil aura of a tropical clime
An idyllic scene, serene, pacific, sublime,
As paradisal souls basked in gold auspicious.
In peace, placid, prosperous, and prodigious.
There stands a sedate, an ethereal being.
It's a serene, glad coping; the knot is untying.
Gone are the times of delightful harmony.
She strolled rather softly, wanting to be.
In the tranquility of unruffled days.
She is peaceful and reserved in her ways.
She soothed the serenity of quiet.
Peace is serene in her finest climate.
Quietly, she led over life's hush path,
Lulled by the calm and restful aftermath,
Sedate and quiescent, she remained.
Silent and unshaken, quiet is sustained.
As a dove, she let peace bear hold.
Bringing a letup to the unrest untold.
In her pacific nature, she found solace.
Silence her weapon, her soother promise.

Takes a hard look in the mirror to see
The world does not revolve around us
Shedding the shackles holding us back
Sets our souls free to soak in the truth
There is an eternal spring of serenity
Waiting to cleanse our weary hearts

we were at rehersal when this memo came for Mitty. He was so happy to hear from his wife. She'd been working ddown at the docks. They didn't allow the worker to leave until all the Christmas stock had been packed upp and shipped out. He said he missed her. He sang bass in background: and played violen's in the orchastra, and was rehersting to be lead in two of our new songs.

So many gaps are getting bigger by the day,
The gap between the rich and those that are not rich,
The gap between the famous and the infamous,
The gap between the generous and the not so generous,
The gap between the closed mouth and the open mouth,
The gap between the tree huger and the developer,
The gap between the lover and the hater,
The gap between the buyer and the seller,
The gap between the optimist and the pessimist,
The gap between the helper and the shouter,
The gap between the soother and the shooter,
The gap between the honest and the dishonest,
The gap between the renter and those below the renter,
The gap between the media and the reader,
The gap between the leaders and the bleeders,
The gap between the real and the unreal,
The gap between the inventor and those who say what for,
The gap between those with power and those without power,
The gap between the grateful and the ungrateful,
Are all very worrying,
Without adding the gaps that we continue to be inventing.
But the gap we should be really worried about,
Is the gap between thinking and doing?
In a world that is dying,
To see more doing,
And less thinking about doing.

Happy You There
Holidays awe - That tine of year,
“you'll break – open your favorite bottle...
of Cheer, soooo...
“Spirits high – you may want to fly”
or...
just Hop on into your own air-O-plane,
“You're just going insane”
For a flight, off to visit whom or whoever...
Dah is not so near – though Oh!...
Yes..
They may flip out, should you arrive this year...
a wild crazy year or a teardrop here also there
though some joy you bring, to share...
“Not – to – fear, cause you will be full of cheer!
Just in time to make it back safely once again,
to see another “Great New Year comin' in”
Waiting nay, “You're popin' a top, of another...
favorite bottle of champagne, or be it soother,
like...
Rum, Vodka, Brandy, Scotch, or Gin...
You also others will holler-out on number #1 with...
your Cheer's, jumpin' high, clack your heels-together,
When this wacky thought accrues too, you,
Oh – My! Oh-Dear! My but Great Scot-cch...
( as it kicks in) Really! On (Time)?
Will I Do This, all over, again then next...
Happy New Year??

I guess most times I was a soother for most,
Not that I complain about it,
But it is a sad fact to kno,
No one is around for my part,
Iss always me in the role,
Me at the crossroads,
No empathy or feelings,
Dude an outburst like who cares,
Comes to mind,
But factually I havent been raised as such,
I kno the other way is ignorant,
So sayin I believe I’ll bide my time,
Til suffrage is possible,
Then fly away,
Like a bird of age!

THE GRANDMA RAMP
My daughter handed him to me and ran out the door without instructions.
It’s been thirty years since I’ve been this close to a cat-like scream.
The bottles hang down like bats, perky nipples and necks require help.
I play hide n seek with milk, finding pops of boobie juice in deep freeze.
Maternal mind replays ‘do not microwave’ so i run the plastic under water.
The little angel, heaven-sent, gives me no break, not today.
I release the sweetheart to the windup mobile of stars.
Finally, the soother is ready to rock n roll. I gather the infant in my arms.
The sucking sound so familiar. He downs this succulent sustenance
and falls asleep. Unnecessarily I hear a car rolling up the grandma ramp.

Round marblelike structures
Craftily aligned on wearer's waist
Boasts loudly in the manner of silence
Of Mother's amaranthine intelligence
Ibèbè, magic or science?
Ibèbè, the magic of science
Soother of the pain cursed
On the woman's seeds
Orbs powerful of exhibiting
An infinite range of colours
Bestow beauty on bodies.
The awe of Mother's and God's creation.

A white gem shining in the black sky
A round beauty with a cool light
With a power to make us relax and rest
A wait for a fortnight to view the nature’s craft
In every angle it’s a new design and new look
In every location it’s a fresh form and a wish norm.
A cotton ball or a butter ball - a pal for all
A silver coin or a platinum ring - a king of lullaby
A creamy round or a milky balloon – a soul soother
Dark nights get a makeover with a white spot
A symbol of beauty, a combo of black &white,
Is a visual treat
A perfect blend of calm and beauty
A sign of completeness and complaisant
A foamy ball with many pretty features
To see the full moon in the sea
Or from balcony or window side
It’s a beauty hug with nature

Spring ! The clip shot out:
Empty now of rounds and clout
Waiting for the next, for
Me to load the killing rounds,
The equalizers, bullets shot
Through steel
Spring! I sit in mud and
Dream of spring, that
Soother, that fragrant mist
That speeds through gardens
Flowers and young boys
Chests and brains Spring!
But rest your pretty head
Those who seek to rule by
Jest and paltry death: not
steal our heavenly flowers
Pulled from scented gardens
Breath.
Return your combats and
Fatigues to roses spread
About your knees and
Love that’s true, upon the
Stones that writ the soldier’s
Caveat.
“Think not of gold or frosty
Frown but how the spring rose
Wears its crown”
