Annoying Christmas Songs
annoying Christmas songs
fading in and out
like an old AM radio station
where one can repeat the lyrics
because they've been overplayed
like the top 50 of the past
somehow
they've become echoes
they've lost their originality
that begin
to sound like a repeating mantra
that most have forgotten
why they are sung
and their meaning
but then that over commercialization
that everyone thinks'
it's about "me"
rather than we
as it should be

May Your Pockets Be Full
may your pockets be full
touch those minerals
that lay in the sun
rich in those colors
reach within the rainbows
that somehow touches the heart
take that walkabout
wherever it leads
listen to the wind
as she whispers...
go find what you want
treasures lay ahead
within your travels
touch those minerals
that lay in the sun
rich in those colors
reach within the rainbows
that somehow touches the heart
take that walkabout

go find what you want

Serenading
serenading through those echoes
which soar within the airwaves
creating epic visions
explosive in unimaginative reactions
that somehow leave one
simply breathless
and yet you feel the vibrations
that awaken one's soul
making one feel alive
wanting more
so you reach
and open your eyes
to see what's out there
what will you find?
the adventure has just begun
which soar within the airwaves

and yet you feel the vibrations

making one feel alive

Rhythms Within The Arrival
rhythms within
where in that circle
that arrival has just begun
and all the while
the anticipation
has you jumping
like bouncing ball
and somehow
you can't help yourself
you've waited for
this very event
for years
and now its come
the piped piper
has finally come
you've listened to that music
since you were a child
that simple joy
brought a smile to your face
and now
you get to listen to it live
where in that circle
that arrival has just begun
and all the while

Peaceful Waters
peaceful waters
running through my mind
let all my troubles
completely flow away
nature finds that rhythm
which touches within the soul
never mind the darkness
the light will finally come
we just need that patience
to simply see things through
time will find that answer
we sometimes refuse to see
but that moment will come
when we let it be
running through my mind
let all my troubles
completely flow away
nature finds that rhythm
which touches within the soul
never mind the darkness
the light will finally come

I'm Amazed
I'm amazed by what I see
in nature
in all her glory
the design within the stone
the pattern
that's effortlessly done
the color
within the richness
of what is seen
by the naked eye
and we humans
only aspire to achieve
a fraction
of what is before us
within this universe

The Truth Of The Matter
the truth of the matter is
that sometimes it simply doesn't matter
no matter how much you want it to
it glares in your face
daring you to change the facts
and while you lie withing that confusion
it laughs
as chaos always does
knowing certain premises won't change
regardless of how uncomfortable that maybe you feel
that sometimes it simply doesn't matter
no matter how much you want it to
it glares in your face
daring you to change the facts
and while you lie withing that confusion
it laughs
as chaos always does
knowing certain premises won't change

Ghosts That Follow
ghosts that follow
within the evening
shadows reach into the chaos
hallowed into the twilight
yet laughter jeers
within the tears
never letting one forget
those trespasses
held within
yes sirens call
reaching into one's soul
making you only wanting
something that can not be
but sometimes karma
comes calling
telling you
remember when?

Rivers That Flow Wide
rivers that flow wide
within the canyons
where the mountains
touch the sky
and an eagle spreads his wings
soaring within his freedom
knowing that the horizon
is in full view
reaching for the stars
in this wide universe
that breathes life
within the canyons
where the mountains
touch the sky
and an eagle spreads his wings
soaring within his freedom
knowing that the horizon
is in full view
reaching for the stars
in this wide universe

Rhythms That Awaken
rhythms that awaken the heart
melodies that touch the soul
can you hear what has been awakened?
inspiration touches in that moment
contemplated within the metaphor
yet celebrated
why?
why not?
it's all a matter of perspective
that can be taken in
within that page of time

Life Finds A Way
a breeze flows within the afternoon
where within that moment
life finds a way to make one smile
specific reasons matter not
only the memory kept
reflections touch within
echoes in the harmony
and life finds a way
to continue
where within that moment
life finds a way to make one smile
specific reasons matter not
only the memory kept
reflections touch within
echoes in the harmony
and life finds a way
to continue

Here I Am Reaching
here I am
reaching for something I can not grasp
yet the reality
is right in front of me
what is it that I'm not seeing?
and why is that truth
grinning like a Cheshire cat?
mocking me at every
forward step that I'm taking
it feels like
for every step that I take
I fall two steps backwards
and start over again
yet I won't quit
is my own ego
biting me
where it hurts the worst?
why can't I see
what I need to do?
the path is right in front of me
all I need to do
is take it
reaching for something I can not grasp
yet the reality
is right in front of me
what is it that I'm not seeing?
and why is that truth
grinning like a Cheshire cat?
mocking me at every
forward step that I'm taking

and start over again

Matters
funny thing
all the memories
still rage in my head
I can remember details
that happened when I was a kid
yet at the same time
struggle to remember
where I put things
two months ago
funny how that works
at not paying attention
to what one thinks
matters

We've Amused Ourselves To Death
Yes...
we've amused ourselves to death
in this life of
possessions
things..
that we have to have
capitalism...
in its worst traits
and the sad thing
we all wanted
exactly...
what we could get
why?
our greed

Re: Carndo (Bill Whitehorn)
Some of it is greed, some of it is that we were lied to... and we didn't see it coming.
An' it harm none, do what ye will. Blessed Be.
