Again and again, and again
to the same riff, I’m a-listenin’
to the best of Led Zeppelin…
‘Stairway to Heaven’
gives me a shot of adrenaline
goosebumps all a-tremblin’…
As the volume peaks, crashin’ and crescendoin’
higher, ever higher, my spirit’s ascendin’

++ November's treasure ++
Mississippi Queen look she's no movie-star
She's always just been the Led Zeppelin swan song
As thin a beam shone bright from a lovers plight
My Moon-beam hits 28 in morrow
She'll say goodbye to that club
Gods in blue jeans spandex was never as cultured
vingt sept
It all doesn't matter if you don't read
Frankenstein's letter
Wait until the worms are all gone
Should be by around quarter to One
Frosted eyes a night light flickers
Saying the moons too bright
The dogs all think we know
Except for the hounds that led you straight down to Hell
Twenty seven
Mortal sleeping city yell
Mirrored images trapped inside a fractured lens
Opening the door for some story to tell
Reaction distraction competitive inimical contraption
Into the minutes where black holes collide
Sent with a message to other alien life.
Treasures explored a life of love implored
Why does it always led to women
And why do I want so bad

It’s been a long time since they’re rock-and-rolled,
but the music still remains what is was,
a broken levee of thunder and sound
so vital that it defies all time’s laws.
A whole lot of love remains to this day,
from those born after the band rambled on,
greatness perseveres, and still has a say,
after centuries, or just ten years gone.
The wailing voice that’s moving through Kashmir,
the awesome page that we don’t want to turn,
thundering drums that could make the gods fear,
still grasps the mind, and make our spirits burn
with heartbreaking memory of true youth,
when things seemed more dazed, but far less confused.

When I was young
We wouldn’t even build the July campfire light
Beside Torch Lake until ten at night
Taking a cue from Led Zeppelin and the sun
That, like us, refused to let go of the solstice sky
We’d go until four in the morning
And by then
The other hand of the sun
Was but a note away on the cosmic clock
Over the hill not far away
The knee-high flames contained within our circle of rocks
Surrounded by the outer bow and glow of our faces
This tribe of brothers sisters and spouses
Shouldered and bending in lawn chairs
Just as now
A third ring formed by our offspring
Sometimes we’re allowed in
Sometimes we’re no longer needed by them
Or wanted
It’s ok
The bonds of blood are layered in years
Like the cycles marked inside a tree
Soon
The northern lights will unveil their green shroud
The nose of Capella pressed to that veil
A small herd of deer will come down from the woods
Their eyes red as embers
Stomping their hoofs
And after that
In the early morning
The last of the Monarchs.

Hope resounds through my soul pockets as I hear Stairway to Heaven
There is more than one road to get there, the paths pliable like a willow
It is okay to reach for all that glitters, but even the songbird understands
Things change in a blink, so there are other ways to get our souls in tune
Rock and roll is one of them for me, it makes me feel light and lively
Ready to put on my wings and fly whatever direction God will take me
There might be signs on the wall, but they may mean different things
To you than to me, and that is okay, for the stairway is not stationary.
It is pliable, bendable, easy to reach in many directions. No absolutes.
The song gives me hope that even a sinner like me can get there,
Even if I take a less glittery, grittier path, so thank you Led Zeppelin.

A lie is like a leaky zeppelin...
patched together with bubble gum breath.
In time it will violently come back to earth.
The earth's heart has a karmic core
thinly wrapped in gravity.

I'm fluffy brown and very bright.
I'm always there
When you afraid at night.
Just close your eyes
And think of me
One,two,now you see me.
I'm here to help you
When kids are mean
I'm your superhero
When times seem gleem
I will shield and protect you
When you feel all alone
In me you can trust
I will never leave you alone
I'm in your heart that's full of love
Bullies can't see me as I watch from above
Your so special and that is true
Remember ziggy zeppelin
Is always there for you.
So when someone in this beautiful world
Says nasty things to make you feel cold
Just close your eyes and count to three
Ziggy zeppelin is in your heart you see
So you don't have to ever fear
I'm in your heart and always near.
So close your eyes and think of me
My new best friend
Forever we will be.

Zeppelin flies
To linen azure blue skies
But otherworldly it is prize
Looking like a blimp it is only a disguise
Beyond master of purple in air it soars brilliant
Master of purple being fifth element
With evolution with evolutions’ idea being environmental emplacement
And beyond destiny being first and second element
Beyond continuum force from that point of view
Creates knowledge that must be true
As through all definitions being equal abyss flies the purple hue
As many continuums evolve to master every part of that hue
From point unknown through phantom numbers comes device
That creates genesis that with its power soul will entice
Zeppelin is used to make process precise
Process to form purple masters’ transfiguration his splice
Balance of judgment stands on the side
It is the final right the guide
The glory of energy light filled with pride
That will seal the meaning of bringing the splice hearthside
