Ebb and Flow
Down by the sea

All purpose crystal clear
We pass...

The Toad Of MontmartreThe croaking toad
The spitting toad
Is ill
Time and wind pass
Like poor cowards.
Nothing is forever
Life will remain beautiful
Put a little salt
‘Cause we must fill up the shovel
Where everything is bland.
It's snowing in my heart
It's not a great...

Standing on the sand holding her board
watching the wave and tide
she knew no matter how far out she went
she’d have to come back this way

Flow of Peace
clear mountain stream, cool waters flow
over smooth, gray stones, liquid slow
as gentle hopes caressing dreams
arousing flames, dancing aglow

graceful like rain falling on night
smoldering, shining through regimes
mists...

A body in a coatStill grotesquely afloat
Belly ready to bloat
His last meal A Milked Oat
And then hard rowed a boat
But with a shot was downed
And the next thing was drowned!
His harsh look watchers note
And at it his foes gloat
And...

Song and God as singer - i meanI

Listen to the songs of the birdsThey will help with the words
What a wonderful day
The Lord heard us pray

Happen to know what I would say
Paradise laid

Splashed upon the water
Heard him say

wild wings whir, along with excited coos
