This heart is old, it owns no thesis.
This heart's been broken,
a zillion pieces, coated in chocolate,
sold as Reese's..
This heart still holds the human species.
It laughs with Buddha.
It walks with Jesus..
I am ztuck with a huge zucchini glut
An overwhelming zight
To try and rectify the zituation
I am cooking day and night
Zautéed, grilled with cheeze
A rather deliciouz chocolate cake
Znuck into zalads, ztuffed or fried
Appearing fazter than I can bake
To avoid any kind of wazte
I've tried giving the extraz away
I'm over the mazzive zucchini zupply
zo no more zucchini for me today
..... zero! zilch!
There's a town upon a hill
where flowers love to dwell;
where the weather brings more chill
from November to April.
The flowers come in cluster -
all the hues - red to purple.
Their beauty calls a praise -
a festive full of grace.
My memories were left to dwell
on such town upon a hill
where the flowers cast a spell -
treasured like a jewel.
For a tree makes a house,
but a flower makes it a home.
Dare so deeply to announce:
"let a zillion flowers bloom!"

Another place
Inside of time
In every space,
I am reminded of you
And as you go forth to your journey
I will I will be by your side
And I will walk, a zillion miles
I will walk a zillion miles
God with you by my side we will walk the great divide
We we walk a zillion miles
I will, I will be by your side forever and always do I stride
Together we will walk a zillion miles
From here to glory
I just want to tell you I love you
Walking with you hand in hand
Together we will cross these lands
And we will walk, a zillion miles
Another state
Something seems misplaced
Marathon and it seems like I am running a race
Something's got a hold of me
And I'm free
In the mirror there's just you I see
Behind me
Saying I will be by your side
Forever and always
Gonna be the one and only
To walk a zillion miles
With you Lord
Again
AMEN

I look in your eyes and I see your heart
It's a noble heart, Kind and generous
All I need, I love you
August eighth nineteen thirty-seven her tiny Spirit thus landed on
This distant planet, within a parallel universe her newborne galaxy..
Ancient eyes gazing as yet but another of their own; Celestial's child ?
