Promise I - prelude
She runs, with all her heart, to the tall trees;
She skips across the meadow; her delight
Is tangible – she’s eating air – she sees
The stars shine out above – eternity
Seems brighter when she loses all control;
She lets exhilaration rule her roost;
When running on the grass, she’s like a foal
Who’s graceful, full of wonder; she can boost
Her own morale; she floats across the fields
And finds her destination is desire
To see things differently, as she yields
To new perspectives; and the pricks of fire,
High in the midnight sky, will play their...
She skips across the meadow; her delight
Is tangible – she’s eating air – she sees
The stars shine out above – eternity
Seems brighter when she loses all control;
She lets exhilaration rule her roost;
When running on the grass, she’s like a foal
Who’s graceful, full of wonder; she can boost
Her own morale; she floats across the fields
And finds her destination is desire
To see things differently, as she yields
To new perspectives; and the pricks of fire,
High in the midnight sky, will play their...

Rise
Railroad ties hum lullabies,
as the train rolls down to hell.
In the dark territory, it's the same
sad story.
That no one wants to tell.
So slide on down,
to nightmare town,
and pay the devil his due.
For there aren't to many,
if in fact there's any,
that know what you've been
through.
Then accept your wings,
as the choir sings,
and fly off to the night.
Let the stars be your guide,
while you search inside,
for the gift of ancient sight.
Use it well, lest the children tell,
How...
as the train rolls down to hell.
In the dark territory, it's the same
sad story.
That no one wants to tell.
So slide on down,
to nightmare town,
and pay the devil his due.
For there aren't to many,
if in fact there's any,
that know what you've been
through.
Then accept your wings,
as the choir sings,
and fly off to the night.
Let the stars be your guide,
while you search inside,
for the gift of ancient sight.
Use it well, lest the children tell,
How...

Can't Put a Price on Kindness
Speaking words of encouragement
help to alleviate discouragement
this gives the soul some nourishment
and can make a friend more permanent
Lifting someone spirit intentionally
might build their confidence eventually
building up their faith exponentially
wanting to do it more, potentially
A kind word spoken out of sincerity
can help to bring a mind some clarity
and if it's done with regularity
might help to build solidarity
Kindness is a form of generosity
when given breaks down our animosity ...

On Kexby's Circumspicere
.. and as in Mathematics
Relativity is what it is...
... what is behind will be before
Infinity is what it is...
... and now Ouroborous seeks
to complete...
...the equation...

Your Story!
We have all been hurt
lost a loved one
looked into the eyes of a liar
felt our heart break a thousand times
we all have a story, some good
and some bad
don't ever let your story be untold
Speak it!
Feel it!
It's your story!
lost a loved one

Full throated melodies
flitting from one song
and one branch to another
Free music improv or mimick?
Listen carefully

Seize or Be Seized
First, you feel a slightly painful tinge in the back.
The pain gets stronger until your sight goes black.
You brain pulses and slams hard against your skull.
Your body hits the ground and your eyes start to roll.
From the cold, hard ground to a hospital bed.
Then you snap awake and realize it’s in your head.
You laugh and think “I wish it were real.”
You sit in your desk deciding how to feel.
You can’t live like this, just go with the flow.
You can’t live like that, you’re a freak show.
This is a joke, You have to be normal. You can’t be...

Yeezy Adams
He ripped a hole in the
Simulation and peace, love,
And understanding stepped in
And John Lennon wept and
McCartney made another mint and
All the hatred in our hearts was
Exposed because it was time to
Come together and leave all the
Pettiness and bickering to
Past generations where history
Will never repeat
Again
Simulation and peace, love,
And understanding stepped in
And John Lennon wept and
McCartney made another mint and
All the hatred in our hearts was
Exposed because it was time to
Come together and leave all the
Pettiness and bickering to
Past generations where history
Will never repeat
Again

Juntos
At the end of the journey,
When I see your eyes again,
when our hearts finally meet again,
I know I am home."

Hey, Man! Where are You?
Delights of squeals and squeaks
Arms thrown wide thus my neck
She loves this movie’s start
My heart, my lust, my love,
Her girl’s laugh, her excite,
All balled in convict clowns’
Hobo candy mountains.
Arms thrown wide thus my neck
She loves this movie’s start
My heart, my lust, my love,
Her girl’s laugh, her excite,
All balled in convict clowns’
Hobo candy mountains.

I was Bullied by a Fat Kid until I took him on
Junior High School
Was a scrawny kid
Doing badly in school
Teacher made fun of me one day
Changing my name to something she thought comical
The school bully picked up on it
Made my life miserable for 6 months
One day having had enough
Took on this fat slob
In front of his wanna be bully crew
Charged him and slammed him up against a row of lockers
Stunned
He laughed, sized me up and turned to his crew smiling
As if to say "this kid is alright"
He never bothered me again
Even wanted to be my friend ...
