Mourn Me Not
When my time comes mourn me not for I am not gone I am with you forever at the first light of dawn
And every Summer as the sun does set I am with you-on this you can bet
I am with you when the Daffodils return every year in early spring and every time you hear a church bell ring
Every time you hear a baby cry and when you eat a cobbler or sweet fruit pie
Whenever a Football game kicks-off or you get a visit from Old Jack Frost
I will be present on Christmas Day or whenever you hear the laughter of children at play
You will no longer...
And every Summer as the sun does set I am with you-on this you can bet

Change
Change is constant
A process that has no end
In the cycle of life
Living requires change
To keep up with life
As it evolve with time
Nothing stays the same
Or permanently as it is
Everything changes in the flow of life
It's the natural course of things
For life to continue
And survive on this plane
You have no choice
When life's circumstances force you to embrace it
You can only dance to its music
Go with the flow
Do not resist change
Learn to adapt for your survival
...

MIDNIGHT TRAIN AWAY FROM PAIN
It's said if your plate's full to get a bigger one
If life was that easy it would always be fun
The Sun doesn't shine bright each & everyday
Things won't consistently go our merry way
Pendulums sway from blissful to melancholy
They don't hold back punches from anybody
Attacking the holy, the worldly & the wicked
At some point in time we'll all get afflicted
There are no tickets for the midnight train
Even in Georgia you'll endure some pain
Just have to try to maintain through it all
Looking for silver lining...
If life was that easy it would always be fun

Yellow Punch Buggy! No Return!
Wolfsburg progeny scattered all about
make a fist, punch and another one’s out
whatever you do don’t you tell Greta
it’s gonna cause a carbon vendetta
Shed a tear, Herbie he isn’t coming back
for this graveyard is off the beaten track
skeletons from the Baja one thousand
glory stories fuelled by munchausen
They don’t want to go all dressed to the neins
perfect little chassis of grand designs
polka dot ladies sit in the garden
alone, not even a “beg your pardon”
These little critters left their Deutsche mark ...

GOLDEN MOMENTS
Silence provides allowances of thoughts unconceived
Those moments when our torment takes a reprieve
Solace away from malice gives us chances to breathe
Granting us with opportunities to properly grieve
A period of leave away from the day to day hustle
Allowing us to regain strength in our mental muscle
A detachment from life's excrement like a corpuscle
Rejuvenating our psyches to prepare for more tussles
Those moments when our torment takes a reprieve
Solace away from malice gives us chances to breathe
Granting us with opportunities to properly grieve
A period of leave away from the day to day hustle
Allowing us to regain strength in our mental muscle
A detachment from life's excrement like a corpuscle
Rejuvenating our psyches to prepare for more tussles

Perfect Contradiction
Aqua pura abides in serenity
door to reality, refined looking glass
revelation in your true identity
a solid, liquid or a most noble gas?
Opaque existence with a crystalline gaze
confined to a tub where children splash and play
or the morning fog swirl in a misty haze
power to blind, crush or simply wash away
All your schizophrenic personalities
hydrogen meets oxygen, ere was prologue
you can coincide in three realities
giant icebergs floating through a dense fog
Droplets fall and freeze from a heavenly mist ...

Candelabrum
Gilded pendant, sleek candle skylight
Porcelain shine, iridescent polished kiss
Prisms in refraction, glistening bright
Glass crystal spider web such as this
Coffered recess, shiny ornate fixture
Shimmering mermaid, twinkling medallion
Oculus twinkle, fluorescent mixture
favrile glass, diamond like battalion

Resistance Is Futile
resistance is futile
so float in life's stream
go in its direction
somewhere you've not been
somewhere where sunlight
sparkles and glows
glimmers and shimmers
where highs come from lows
where rhythmic pulsations,
the ups and the downs,
conjure sensations
within where they're found
where you are a being
afloat in a dream
drifting through places
that you've never been
always in motion
even when still
like tides in the ocean
you always will
be moving through places ...

Music Passion Five
Opera Act One
On a curious whim I auditioned
sang “Amarilli Mia Bella”
a fairly good rendition I’m guessing
son run home and tell your papa
his boy will be singing Opera
with scarcely any classical training
the next weekend I was rehearsing
amongst singers
intimate with each note and variation
while I relied on pure memorization
Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor“
was the first production that season
Giorgio Tozzi, our esteemed Director,
famous Bass from the Met,
found further acclaim
as surreptitious,...

Hello Winter my old familiar lover
how I miss your cool, calculating embrace
your grip on my bones unlike any other
as you leave naught but frozen drops on my face
Nibble on my ears until they feel the burn
hold me close as we dance slowly cheek to cheek
fingers and toes tingle with our every turn
take my breath away so I can barely speak
I long for your whispers and sweet little lies
a promise of warmth I never feel inside
there’s a need as a little part of me dies
a ghostly touch which only you can provide
...

On a Timeless Wavelength
Whatever gets you through the day
or night
The magic in music can lift your spirits
and mood
There’s something about a rhythm
and rhyme
When the groove is sure to improve
your attitude
Your body automatically moves
to the beat
As a happy heart synchs in
with the song
For those few minutes all is right
and free
But the positive effect can last
all day long
We can get lost in those happy
little moments
The ones that enliven and
soothe the soul
It...

Touched By Laurels
Falling from the sky
touched by laurels
into tomorrow
like a feather
holding on
to my destination
of pillows on the ground
and Heaven's cupcakes
