Motherhood # Wendell Berry
At five AM the cock had crowed
Petticoats with small pink bows
Tousled hair like tangled straw
Shout up the stairs "now wake up boys"
That mirrors dirt that hides the years
Put it on the list of chores
Pout your lips and blush your cheeks
The rouge fresh air applies for free
Eggs and bacon dance in the pan with glee
That nurcher is my bond my pride
It springs, that flow will not subside
My motherhood of breasts that will provide
Trace of smile across my lips
The heaviness around my hips ...
Petticoats with small pink bows
Tousled hair like tangled straw
Shout up the stairs "now wake up boys"
That mirrors dirt that hides the years
Put it on the list of chores
Pout your lips and blush your cheeks
The rouge fresh air applies for free
Eggs and bacon dance in the pan with glee
That nurcher is my bond my pride
It springs, that flow will not subside
My motherhood of breasts that will provide
Trace of smile across my lips
The heaviness around my hips ...

Turns out - Just One of Those Things

It'snot his fault. Not by a longShot.
Just yr typical foreign body
that spun into Our
atmosphere.
Can't fault him for that. Just leave the SOB alone.

Invisible Rain
Invisible rain
That rains down love upon me
Makes me feel love
When you whisper to me
Like the wind
How lovely you are
That rains down love upon me
Makes me feel love
When you whisper to me
Like the wind
How lovely you are

Sonora Sunrise
It's the way she looks at midnight
not worrying about her hair
shines like stars above us
but she'll never disappear
she's wind and sun and water
a gift of hope to some
but what I see is beauty
in the music that she strums
it echoes in her spirit
her eyes light up and glow
a soft and soothing sparkle
one you never could let go
when the night gets longer
and our light begins to fade
we feed upon each other's bodies
in ev'ry bite new life is made
not worrying about her hair
shines like stars above us
but she'll never disappear
she's wind and sun and water
a gift of hope to some
but what I see is beauty
in the music that she strums
it echoes in her spirit
her eyes light up and glow
a soft and soothing sparkle
one you never could let go
when the night gets longer
and our light begins to fade
we feed upon each other's bodies
in ev'ry bite new life is made
#love

The Sky Tonight
appearing in the evening shining
Venus is so bright
manifesting as it's rising
such a wondrous light
Aphrodite's warm enchantment
penetrating through
personality's confinement
now I know that it is you
reaching out from where you're shining
from where you are tonight
synchronizing open minds in
hope that here you might
resonate and share sensations
with anyone in tune
I am feeling your elations
now rising with the Moon
manifesting as it's rising
such a soothing sight
appearing in...
Venus is so bright

A Song of Harmony
The air up here is thinner,
Cleaner,
And the views are quite amazing,
Almost mystic,
As you walk through the forest,
The trees are simply beautiful,
And majestic.
Amidst the crowds of visitors taking photographs,
There is something different in the atmosphere,
Here the giants keep secrets,
Ancient wisdom of the ages,
Knowledge of Mother Earth.
The trails are filled with people,
From different parts of the world,
And yet the giants stand there quietly,
Their leaves swaying,
Whispering,
Curious of...

Journey Home To Heaven
I had a vision I could buy my way back to heaven
pockets never empty always having money
blessed is the man that walketh not ungodly
I stand alone as my cup overflow with blessings
I thank the Heaven's they are always with me
I told God I'd be back in a second as I descended
the universe now comforts my every positive desire
On my way to ascension it's not very long for me
I've already been to Hell for a short visit
I need your grace I'm tired of forever fighting
there has to be a blessing in all...

On my way to ascension it's not very long for me

Realized by Harmony
To see the world through the notes
witnessed without the aid of eyes
exclamations of counterpoint
revealing both the lows and highs
a form describing entire worlds
from turn of melody by instruments
the sequence measured in the beats
mountains built as consequence
this vision seen in full bloom
with rainbows found in timbre’s groove
bridging valleys in between
contrast the tones by silence spoke
repeating in a wild refrain
apparitions of purest joy
fully seen in lucid dreams
realized by harmony.

Fortitude
Butterfly
What are you doing
In this place
There are no flowers here
No brightness
For your delicate face
Butterfly
They stole
Skinned my protection whole
Selfishly lapped at my hope
And imprisoned my soul
Butterfly
You flew
Through death…
And
Soggy mildew
Spreading light
…A fiery blue
When there was nothing
I found you.

The Friendship Train (or Until Next Year)
Pushing up my glasses,
Riding the train to the State Fair of Texas!
Us three best friends,
Friends until time ends.
At the state fair,
Late at night, wind through our hair,
Fingers looped through each backpack loop,
In our little, glowing, group.
Glowing with fun and laughter,
With friendship and wonder,
Full of cotton candy and root beer,
Knowing the end of the night is near.
We've walked and talked,
At crystals and jewelry we've gawked,
On this friendship train of pure joy,
I wish every day, and...

In our little, glowing, group.
Glowing with fun and laughter,

Full of cotton candy and root beer,
Knowing the end of the night is near.

At crystals and jewelry we've gawked,
On this friendship train of pure joy,
I wish every day, and...
