Waiting In the Maybe

Waiting in the Maybe                       For My Aunt,  Billie Marie Zal

Maybe I Am
singing Singing a tune.

Maybe I Am
Somewhere singing like a loon.

Maybe I Am
Somewhere Walking in the dark.

Maybe I Am
just waiting for The day to start.

Maybe I Am
saving for a rainy day.

Maybe I Am
just having my say.

Maybe you should be rocking
not sitting still.

Maybe you should sing
like the whippoorwill.

Maybe I Am
giving back the dime.

Maybe I Am
taking back My time.

Maybe the need
needs to be refilled.

Maybe the need
needs to be still.

Maybe changing places
keeping time.

Maybe you will get the Answer
in the nick of time.

When waiting in the Maybe
there is no I in Me.

Peek Ka Boo Me

Peek Ka Boo Me

My wife and I were doing our thing 
that thing we liked most to do.  

Its a game we play with the parents say 
we simply drop a quarter.  

Getting the nod from her parent beside 
I dropped the quarter to make the sound.  

"Lost and found" we cry to the child
waiting to see the reaction.  

A childs delight with parent in sight
I walked around the corner.

I listened for the sound 
of that quarter found.

To my surprize that child we found
peeko booed me!

Unexpected at least my heart almost ceased
my Heart swelling like yeast.

Its hard to decribe that feeling.
