Seattle Read them well to know me.
***** hands
 With rust and dirt;
 Hard work 
Is my child play
 With nuts,
 Screws and bolts;
 Toiled fingers
 They dismantle
 They repair.

***** Hands
Kings and queens Of what is green; They touch heaven With prickly fingers And stand on hell With gnarled feet; Mountain clothing, They cover to the sea; Red is their color, Green is their hair; Their arms are many Oh, so high they reach; So old they are, Wise are they; Their smell goes Beyond the Rockies And south to the desert; They are home to me, Heavy and rich Chief Seattle's War canoe is from Their back bone, His oars are from Their strong arms.

The Evergreens
On metal wings I take up speed To a place of Sweet solitude, To touch the face Of my Maker; Higher, ever higher This bird will take Me, beyond clouds So vast I fly with Such ease and grace To the sun I climb Only to stall and fall To the clasps of earth; Yet she will receive Me in do time, dear.

Soaring Ever Higher
Drip, drop, drip, drop Coffee drops, O how they fall; It growls, it purrs When each drop falls Below to black seas; Steam! O steam! Is it mad, is it upset When coffee it makes? It is hot, it is warm; Carful little fingers, They can burn! Smell, sniff, inhale The aroma it brings To warm the senses. It is done, it is ready! O goody! Like Papa, I of four have my own!

Brewing Coffee
Let me shut out, close up, disappear; Why hurt so much, I know what Happens next. Settled? Lets Move again for you will never be. They appear only to fade again, So don't you cry, this is what you Are in. Yes they love yet it won't last Not like in story books and tales. Like a ghost they see me in the Passing of time, only to remember My shell. They say he was a good Boy, a bad boy, never knowing my Context and of whom I really am. You are different then who they Are, being like them is what I hate; Superficial is what they are. I hunger for their love only to be Deprived; now let's disappear. Why does it matter how they feel? I am only a ghost of a shell of who I am to them. So let's become ghosts To hide and shy away in my caverns Where no one may come but only To hide, to love and be loved by me!

Let Me Hide Away
Come, oh child of mine; To Papa oh please come! Cry on my shoulder, No one is watching, No one is judging; I am here ready to listen, Ready to hear; My arms are strong with love So let go of what you hold, Leave it here with me, I will make sure You wouldn't have to Hold it again; I love you, my child, So don't be scared to come, I am here for you; Tell Me your ***** little secrets, No one else will know; I will keep them hidden, Locked so they may never See the light of day; I love to hear you Calling my name For when you do I am right there with you. Said Father.

Cry My Child, Cry
Blue and dark, an ocean  Filled with beast and storm, An ocean alive, God's  Creation of sounding  form;  This ocean a beauty of Mystery, a danger of adventure. My vessel sails these waters  In search of Home, I sail  Through squall and tempest  With out maps or compass  Only God's breeze to guide Me to Heaven's shores. The smell of holy soil  Fill ocean breezes as  The sight of land fills  My weather beaten  Heart with joy; blue, sunny  Days do not compare, nor  The joy of braving a storm  Or sea beast, nor the sound  Of the sea or gulls after a Hurricane; only the sight of  His Celestial shore makes  Me sing an old hymn.

Ocean Hymn
I am the tear That falls down your cheek, I am the cold That climbs up your spine, I am the sharp Edge that cuts your wrists, I am the voice Of your screams at night I am the nails That claw your lovely heart I am the black In the cloths you ware, I am the darkness In those beautiful green eyes, I am the hands That hide your sweet face, and I am the demons Playing in your head; I am depression.

I Am Depression
Clouds hide and shy away Under mountains so high, Under hills of pine trees; Forged by God above are The lofty mountain peaks, Where trolls and dwarves   Dwell is where the snow is  Born glimmering under  Morning sun; the pine  Tall as can be! The high folk  Of the forest, like a quilt  They cover the land, keeping  Warm her children in cold  Night winds; like a rose  God's handicraft blooms, His work is shown off  By mountain top snow  And cloud hidden valley.

A Morn One Day
Sleep in, she hears no sorrow; She leaves no shadow Wondering. Wake up, she sees no lover; She feels her life shiver In Spring. Close up, he shows no pain; He hides under morning rain Bleeding. Sits down, of what he has done, He ponders of what has gone, Sighing.
