He lived on this earth for a time and a half
Playing a tune to the old man’s laugh
—Shadows of the Valley; Janick Gers, Stephen Percy Harris
Not His Son
The flute floated in the empty space
He’d gladly have followed the piper
Red lights of dischord in sentiment face
In corner mocks the chatterbox viper
To be spoon fed kindness for a time
The old man thought that but a waste
He paid me instead time and a half…I’m
on a bender, long cast, no longer chaste
The IT of a clown from the grave rises
He whips me with his uttermost laugh
A fearful rainstorm he always despises
Surviving my loathsome birth like chaff
The lip-tremble of melody craved abduction
An abominable shadow from dirt’s abyss
For this host could be only a demon’s seduction
The only arms that held me tight he’d dismiss
The door like a drum opened up righteousness
The climax of throwdown with cuffs and chains
In my enemies presence I dine with timelessness
I claim a different Father - in heaven he reigns

When I close my eyes
to meditate
thoughts flooding
and unyielding
I see with my inner eye
the monkey mind
an incessant flurry
worry about worry
You can tame your mind
separate the observer
from the observed
two mindful parts of you
You are not your thoughts
notice then surrender
resist certainty
throwdown anxiety
Intently focus your breath
settle into self
true presence
is not in thoughts
Forget the allure of grasping
commit to ever practicing
let perfection be gone
greet chaos headon
Live the ah ha moment
some inner peace is yours
relax then let go
move to the light

contemplating the impossiable
destroy the man that carried us when we were down.
he said nothing but lies to his comrades and look uponers,
hes the one you want...
not me..
WHY AM I BLAMED FOR EVERY LITTLE THING
TO BE PUNISHED FOR PROBLEMS
I CANT SOLVE THEM
REASONS BLUR
IT CANT BE THE CURE
PLEASE LET IT GO
LET IT GO.
its the same for both of them.
its the same for us all.
but your lies are being noticed
and were getting tall.
