Ocean wake
Longing for a rest
Decides time for a break
Reaching land, sounding a thunderous shake
Delivering crimson colors, courtesy of a spring friendly pest
Ocean wake
Hiding deadly evils, created with mother nature's stake
Cleaning up the murderous dining hour debatable test
Decides time for a break
Pondering action of a perceived, underwatering menacing fake
Presenting bridging evidence, hoping the harboring fugitive will confess
Ocean wake
Protecting situation, it did make
Creating a bloody mess
Decides time for a break
Remember when flowing in a timid lake
Where rough behavior is less
Ocean wake
Decides time for a break
Hot pickles are better than a cookie;
That crunch such a perfect sour bite,
sinful taste please feed them to me;
My palate prefers fire to candy,
oversaturated leaves me contrite;
Hot pickles are better than a cookie;
They’re more than a little bit spicy;
Tastebuds left in afterglow all night,
sinful taste please feed them to me;
Always going down so easily,
the sweat on my brow a delight;
Hot pickles are better than a cookie;
Let’s ignore wading in gently,
cannonball dive is doing it just right;
Sinful taste please feed them to me;
Give me heatwaves no talking sweetly,
I’ll devour flames whole just for spite;
Hot pickles are better than a cookie,
sinful taste please feed them to me.
Over nature, we claim to be master
To have control of all, is our intent
But this is now leading to disaster
Our duty-to-care, shows we play jester
In self-cherishing much of our time spent
Over nature, we claim to be master
Our populations growing ever faster
On expansion, we simply won't relent
But this is now leading to disaster
Our pollutiing waste is left to fester
For we will never pay out to prevent
Over nature, we claim to be master
Our pesticides are to control nature
We will not share our food is the intent
But this is now leading to disaster
Our proposed targets seem to get nowhere
For we have not the will to prevent
Over nature, we claim to be master
But this is now leading to disaster
Fall begins this morning so fine
On the mountain hill, I reside
Crisp fresh air and warm sunshine
Greet me, as everything aligns
The season flows in like the tide
Fall begins this morning so fine
The wispy leaves and plants entwine
Within this scenic walk outside
Crisp fresh air and the warm sunshine
Some trees with color of red wine
Happy thoughts send others to hide
Fall begins this morning so fine
For now this moment, is all mine
For now, only happy tears cried
Crisp fresh air and the warm sunshine
Soulful food, to enjoy and dine
This new day takes me on a ride
Fall begins this morning so fine
Crisp fresh air and the warm sunshine

Awakened early on this Sunday morn,
Without thought that it was a special day,
As carefree as the day that I was born.
For breakfast I would have some flakes of corn.
And for my food I'd bow my head to pray.
Awakened early on this Sunday morn.
Before I choose my outfit to adorn
My body, I climb on the scales to weigh,
As carefree as the day that I was born.
Between computer and newspaper torn,
And eager for what email had to say,
Awakened early on this Sunday morn.
No pretty cards for me I would have sworn.
Two Valentines from far across the way.
As carefree as the day that I was born.
Though my love is gone I won't be forlorn.
Friends do not care if my hair has turned grey.
Awakened early on this Sunday morn,
As carefree as the day that I was born.

Wigglin' 'tween toes
the questions of a thousand thousand ages
wrapped tight in beat heart.
Who's gonna buy the cat food tomorrow?
Will trade ya for takin' out the garbage
wigglin' 'tween toes.
If you're in a hurry and need to turn left
but some one's in the intersection what is
wrapped tight in beat heart?
Rage tamed to socially
acceptable impatience
wigglin' 'tween toes.
Sometimes the sky grabs attention
raw beauty
wrapped tight in beat heart.
Tomorrow’s a work day
will give it best
wigglin' 'tween toes
wrapped tight in beat heart.
The Christmas tree stands alone
But still decorated with lights glowing
The family has come and gone
A misty tear drop with a quiet groan
Remembering the days when they were home
The Christmas tree stands alone
Wanting little ones to come and crawl in zone
Of the blanket, packages, and decorations
The family has come and gone
Leftover food, torn wrap, lights that shone
Guiding them to this warm old home
The Christmas tree stands alone
Dirty dishes, soiled placemats, candles blown
Still longing for them at home
The family has come and gone
Time passes, situations change
The love in my heart remains the same
The Christmas tree stands alone
The family has come and gone
