Song of the Sea
♪O deep rolling sea,
Such a pleasure to me!
Roll over my soul,
Set my spirit free.
Come take me away
To the land of the new day:
I give you control,
Come and sweep me away!
♪Roll over my soul,
Roll over my soul,
Your sweet billows roll
And make me whole.
O sweep me away
To the land of the new day;
Let my soul find sweet rest
In the land of the blest.
♪I hear there are dreams
Where the bright sunlight gleams;
I hear there are nights
Where the moonbeams are bright;
I...
Such a pleasure to me!
Roll over my soul,
Set my spirit free.
Come take me away
To the land of the new day:
I give you control,
Come and sweep me away!
♪Roll over my soul,
Roll over my soul,
Your sweet billows roll
And make me whole.
O sweep me away
To the land of the new day;
Let my soul find sweet rest
In the land of the blest.
♪I hear there are dreams

Where the moonbeams are bright;

Heart Of Freedom
My heart wants the
world to go back
to normal but we
can't because we are
Living in:
Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Which governments are
responsible and will
they ever give us the
cure/vaccine are we
going to live in this
place where we give up
our freedom for safety
Or will we rise up to take
back our freedom
world to go back

KAMALA
Her name is not Pamela or Cam-a-la
it is pronounced Comma-la
She is the blooming Lotus flower of our fair state
and for me that fact is not up for debate
A woman with a winning million-dollar smile
who wears pearls as an homage to classic female style
As fierce as any Lioness at defending her Pride
and the reason why Kavanaugh cried
Her grilling Barr proved he is unfit
and after 11/3 his office will be forced to quit
The first woman, Black and South Asian, to be a heartbeat away from being President
and I can't wait for her victory in the...

the problem with certainty.
I early voted yesterday,
had a sense of relief
until I remembered....
..... that I felt similar
in 2016

Promises Promises
Last Tonight Mr. President Sir you made us Promises Promises
Why should we believe all of your Promises?
I can't get out of my head
the 20K lies that you said
You want a 2nd term
but what about the 220K you let die from the Covid-19 germ
You say the next time
everything will be fine
But how do we know that the second time around
you don't be an even bigger clown
Because for almost 4 years I laughed like a kid
at all the silly things that you did
You made us Promises Promises
why should we believe all of your Promises
Why...

Disappear
Low hanging clouds like cobwebs in the sky
Dew clinging to my chlorophyll eyes
As the moon hides away from view
I feel the earth's deep rumble telling of all our lies
The whir of tires on the interstate lulls us to rest
Drifting to the outskirts of our little bubble
We've seen capitalistic wet dreams in our night visions
Today we embark on a search for trouble
Dew clinging to my chlorophyll eyes
As the moon hides away from view
I feel the earth's deep rumble telling of all our lies
The whir of tires on the interstate lulls us to rest
Drifting to the outskirts of our little bubble
We've seen capitalistic wet dreams in our night visions
Today we embark on a search for trouble

insurmountable
I picked a bunch of
memories, pain, love, and gratitude
found myself barefoot between
mountains, streams and sunsets and
even though it was a road full of
exciting and sometimes soul-destroying moments
I am proud to be able to stand
on the 2020 mountain with a
heart that overflows and that is free
and in the shoes of a woman who
knows nothing is insurmountable

a swan and a duck
A swan and ducks
In the garden of a hotel, we could afford
a black, beautiful swan in a fenced-in lake
to protect from entering.
It was a murderous bird; it dragged dogs
underwater and drowned them.
It was noticed the swan liked to kill dogs
with German names, swans do not speak
so, whether it was contra or pro political
was for humans to find out.
The swan go more and more aggressive
and no one thought of the obvious reason
it needed a mate.
When the penny dropped, the swan had
been sent to a zoo, found a mate...

Our Humanity Belongs on the Throne
Oligarchy
is outdated
their lapdog
...the grievance party
has forgotten
their original
noble potential
progress
gently free
and deeply
meaningful
Conservation
of principle
means we need
stability
with real strength
on the right
Our humanity
...however
not oligarchy
must rule us
The power
of being human
....our spiritual
integrity
belongs on the throne

Keep On Voting
If you are ready to make the change that we are on the brink of
And you are tired of the same old GOP story
You got to turn in some ballot pages
and you are ready to roll with the Blue tide changes
You got got to got to got to
Keep On Voting, Keep On Voting, Keep On Voting Blue
You got to got to got to
Keep On Voting, Keep On Voting, Keep on Voting Blue
*Inspired by the REO Speedwagon song "Roll With The Changes".

My Life As A Caterpillar
As i quietly chew my way around
Munching down to the earthy ground
As nature kindly provides my hungry mouth
The rain moistens the sun from the south
That refreshes my sun dried flesh
And helps grow my inner mesh
And those moments of stark terror
Thankfully dropped, by a beak in error
Inadvertently giving me my first flight
Thankfully landing on tender grass so light
I then became reclusive, and cocooned
Hung from flowers, and festooned
Awaiting my moment to escape my past
Till i would gnaw through, and fly at last ...
