Shake, rattle and roll
A song or a way of life
What’s the difference
In either case fun is fun
Why not make this our motto

A Simple Thank You
A simple thank you…
Gratitude shown with two words.
Does the thought pain you?
Do you find it a weakness
To show appreciation?
You would be most wrong!
Be thankful for all you have
Each and every day.
Only good can come of this
And you’ll be better for it
…In the End.

What is My Calling
What is my calling
To speak for those that are mute
Injecting logic
In this illogical world
Fighting the way I know how
With pen and paper
The written is the sword
I wield with honor
Far mightier than the tongue
Brandished til the day I die
.

Life’s Fluidity
Life’s fluidity
Frightening to so many
So they swim upstream
Isn’t life evolution…
Nothing ever stays the same

Created From Dust
Created from dust
Instilled with Divine Spirit
Magical creatures
We are unique, but the same
Born from the All Knowing Mind

Summer’s Heat, July
Summer’s heat, July
Birds…bees sing their joyful songs
By nature’s design.
Sadly we too oft’ ignore
Beauty that lay before us.
Distracted by life
All just to try to survive
We get very lost.
Perhaps if we took a step back
What we’re missing would be found.
Look to the sky, grass,
Look to the simplicity in life
For what’s important.
This is what Mother gave us
To keep from going insane.

Teach Me If You Must
Teach me if you must
Lessons like this are hard learned
Bloody and brutal
I expected nothing less
For having used my free will

Feet Cut and Blistered
Feet cut and blistered
Gravel road their nemesis
The journey of life

Life Altering Change
Life altering change
Whether for better or worse,
Unavoidable.
At times they can bring on tears
Whilst at others there is joy.
Perhaps perfection
Does not come without its pain
Though perfect it is.
Everything’s as it should be
In the eyes of the Divine.
We are intertwined
With others on this journey,
Friends, kin and strangers
Struggling to understand.
Who would I be to judge them?
Should I not just love,
Embracing their inner light
And divine essence.
Honoring them as sacred
As I wish to be honored.

What Lives Within Us
What lives within us,
Deep beneath skin’s shallowness?
Beauty is finite
Where the senses are concerned.
Time eats away at our flesh…
No one is immune.
The mirror lies to the young.
Tricked by ignorance
They believe it’s forever.
Surely age doth prove them wrong
As it has done for eons.
Better spent is time
Seeing the beauty within.
Love and compassion,
They have no physical bounds…
They cannot be kept.
These are things of true beauty,
Things cherished for a lifetime.
Given with no material cost,
But having immeasurable value
These are what are precious to me.
This is the beauty,
That lies deep within.
