Y Write
I'm all alone
Yet writing poem
Will it be read
Will I get fed
Why do we read
What others pen
Satisfies need
Takes away when
Should we speak of
War, money, love
Have read enough
Of same old stuff
Yet we take pen
And write again
To reach another
A soul brother
Yet writing poem

Should we speak of
War, money, love

Of same old stuff
Yet we take pen
And write again
To reach another

Summer Rain
Memories in the sky
Happy clouds floating by
Shadows on the wall
Summer day, all in all
I remember long ago
Things you used to do
We had a wonderful time
True love in our prime
We used to sing along
With all those joyful songs
Remember...
Memories in the sky
Happy clouds floating by
Shadows on the wall
Distance rumbling of a squall
Children so full of life
Everything was so right
Joined them at the pool
Watched them at the school
Children grew up men ...
Happy clouds floating by
Shadows on the wall
Summer day, all in all
I remember long ago
Things you used to do
We had a wonderful time
True love in our prime
We used to sing along
With all those joyful songs
Remember...
Memories in the sky
Happy clouds floating by
Shadows on the wall
Distance rumbling of a squall
Children so full of life
Everything was so right

Body and Soul
Now you know
We don't have souls
We have bodies
We are souls
Now you know ...
We don't have souls
We have bodies
We are souls

Won't You Come On In
Welcome my old friends.
Come in, sit a spell.
It's good you're here again.
I trust you're feeling well.
Let me take your coats.
We can share some time.
Listen to some notes,
relax and share some wine.
Old red embers are a glowing.
Rekindle with some logs and they'll be crackling.
The cold weather outside is nothing.
Soon this fire will be sparkling.

Memories ...
Memories, can't hold me like you did, yesterday.
Feelings will not fade like colors of old elm leaves.
Just so you know my tomorrows are filled with the
time for together, remember how good life was.
Standing here, lying there, cold in this summer air.
Empty space, lonely place, everywhere that we shared.
Close my eyes, out of place, see your face, long ago.
Life can be wonderful, till we depart from all.
You...

Days
These are the days, my friends.
Spinning faster, we've lost control
What should we do? Where should we go?
Natural high, and then the dive.
A daily grind, then daily drive.
We must slowdown, to look around.
Enjoy the view, and say thank you.
Monday Tuesday are all the same
Thursday Friday, seems we're to blame.
Next week it starts, over again.
And we'll be here, until we end.
Can you tell me what's it all...
Spinning faster, we've lost control
What should we do? Where should we go?

Raising children, Lesson #4
But let us speak of times before this day
When men amassed to chase and hunt the prey
They lived and built the walls to shelter all
For safely raising children growing tall
But let us speak about today's new way
When men acquire new skills to chase the pay
Then purchase stuff that does not last or hold
And raising children costs a lot we're told
Those days contained barbaric men we're told
But wonder how the...

Evolutionary Pleasure
Why short term pleasures
Risk long term gains?
Society beats us down,
Partners,
Foods,
Trips,
Stuff,
Highs,
Lows,
Temporarily stops
in different places.
Long time to go,
How to seek long time love?
Eighteen growth years,
Look past the last four.
Years of searching,
Beyond things that don't last.
Long time to go,
Where to find long time love?

Work
When asked about work, a lot of people complain
But I enjoy work, please allow me to explain
When we go to work, we travel quite a ways
My job is not too far, it's as close as the nearest star
I start out the morning, eating a breakfast that's fit
Cause at work all I do is sit, sit and s#it
At work, there's the man with the smirk
He's a bit of a jerk
He yells and tells us to do field work...

Long TIme Love
I remember
when we met.
Sparkling eyes.
I was set.
We had joy,
and lots of love.
But now we're old,
and love's grown cold.
But baby, baby,
Stay by me.
We have each other.
That's all we need.
For me, the pain
were presents returned. ...

Listening to Silent Songs
When silence can be found
Your soul is free to sound
Then listen you will hear
From spirits not so near
They saw the natural day
Before man walked this way
They sung uplifting songs
Of joys, Of hopes, Long gone
When noise slips in your mind
A quite space do find
To listen to your soul
And clearly hear whats known
They saw the natural day ...
Your soul is free to sound
Then listen you will hear
From spirits not so near
They saw the natural day
Before man walked this way
They sung uplifting songs
Of joys, Of hopes, Long gone
When noise slips in your mind
A quite space do find
To listen to your soul
And clearly hear whats known
They saw the natural day ...

Beautiful Butterfly
Colorful, butterfly, floating up, high up there,
gracefully, wandering, everywhere.
Why am I, wistfully, wondering, can we share?
Will we be? Fly with me? Can we be?
Float with me, down this path, where we'll see, what life hast.
Time for us learning to trust in us.
Plan with me, future we, visiting, all life's paths.
Can you see? Fly with me. Be with me.
Come with me, life can be...
gracefully, wandering, everywhere.
Why am I, wistfully, wondering, can we share?
Will we be? Fly with me? Can we be?
Float with me, down this path, where we'll see, what life hast.
