Magically Delicious!
The moon gave me some lucky charm light
Through Saint Patrick's earliest clouds
Making the night a fine Celtic sight
Of zenith vapors in gossamer crowds
Muting the beams on plumtrees in bloom,
Trying their best to mimic the sky,
Like an upbeat white popcorn broom
Sweeping some fresh from the dew on high
And packing it into late summer fruit
Along with the taste of moonbeam gold
Which, of course, is a vernal cahoot
Beginning when winter starts to get old
When the madness march of the shamrock green
Proves chlorophyll...the best...

Hope
Hope is such a silly thing
It plays with you
Makes you believe
That everything will be ok
That you will survive another day
It lets you down sometimes
It makes you cry when that hope is broken
That everything is lost and can never be unfolded
Hope can be the only thing you've got sometimes
Hope can be the only thing you've lost sometimes
But lost things can be found
And hope can plant you on the ground
It plays with you
Makes you believe
That everything will be ok
That you will survive another day
It lets you down sometimes
It makes you cry when that hope is broken
That everything is lost and can never be unfolded
Hope can be the only thing you've got sometimes
Hope can be the only thing you've lost sometimes
But lost things can be found
And hope can plant you on the ground

The Latterday Mary Poppins!
Bonnets, and umbrellas, flying about
Popping in, and popping out
Art, and magic, awakens in the park
The beginnings of this creative ark
As well-being helps the medicine go down
With inspiration, and guidance, to lift any frown
Full steam ahead, now there's no stopping
The caring heart, of Tara Poppins!

Chasing clouds away
Chasing clouds away
When things seem sad and dark, like you're covered by a cloud, I will be there to help you, to be in your team I'm proud
I will be your personal umbrella to keep off all the rain, to protect you from the harshness, until there's Sun again
I will be your shining Knight, I'll fight off all your foes, be there to hold your hand, through your fears and woes
I'll be your sentinel, be your guardian through the night, watching you whilst you dream, to make sure that you're alright
Side by side we will be, fighting...

if men and plants
Of men and plants
The endless growing of new leaves
of my indoor plants, shedding the excess
all over the floor, as disregarded dreams
getting in the way of the day.
Female hyenas are good mothers teaching
their litter is how to scare off lions.
Restless minds are not sound as leaders
who overthink everything and have nervous breakdowns?
Sit shaking in the corner on the bridge of warships
excellent, dancers in the ballroom of peace.

The Sound
It's not the words that we say It's the sound
vibrating airwaves surround
Touching ears to then rebound
It's not the words in which we are found
Resonating somewhere inside
In places where sometimes we hide
Elevating, opening wide
To bliss on a rising tide
Of consciousness flowing within
Between atoms as they spin
In spaces seeming devoid
Of anything of which we're annoyed...
it's not the thoughts that we think it's the link
when together and feeling in sync
oscillating as one as we phase
clarity...

Bowled Over
The grass grows greener
On the other side
As me, and a former bowling green
No longer have any bowls to hide
Now completely bowl-less, and free
Surrounded by many a beautiful tree
There are no stumps!
In this wonderful surreality
And amongst these fine bowers
Grows a multitude of flowers
Where i pirouette with the fairies
For hours, and hours, and hours
As the smiling humorous sun
Watches on with great fun
Then moons, at the moon
And spun, and spun, and spun
As everyone
Was bowled over
...

Contemplation and escape...
A thin trail of coffee aroma touched her soul strings.
And the rays of the spring sun played in a light haze in the quiet of the apartment.
In the soft foam of the airy drink, she built her castles.
The smell of coffee, caressing her thoughts, carried away far from the earth.
Dreams of happiness swirled over her, making her forget about the world and herself.
A cup of coffee in itself embodied a sensitive trembling, exciting fear.
And in a pleasant woody haze, taking a sip of fragrant darkness,

Little Blue Pony
In the twilight,
little blue pony
with hushed breath
now faded to memories
whispering to curios
from a Jack in the Box
carrying me
on your shoulders
in the twilight,
little blue pony
whispering to curios
little blue pony
with hushed breath
now faded to memories
whispering to curios
from a Jack in the Box
carrying me
on your shoulders
in the twilight,
little blue pony
whispering to curios

THE GREATEST MAN IN THE WORLD
THE GREATEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I think of what Jesus has taught,
and stand awestruck before this man.
I find Him that He is the best
of all who've walked under the sun.
I put aside that He is God
and write about His life on earth.
He's taught man love and to support
the little ones, not those of wealth.
He had great ruth on that female
whom none dared her soul to elate.
He sympathized despite the risk
and saved her from her horrid fate.
Who can endure the insults that
He suffered but He could...
