South-by-Southwest
Like the soft green grass
'neath
the morning dew
I'm thinking 'bout you

The tides and change
happens to everything
and everyone that
you ever knew

I can't remember
the whens or whys
we were divided
in two

Cassidy . . .

Ah ! The nightime stars
appear so near
yet they are so far
We have cut their beams

We had our plans
The world was our's
if it was only
in our dreams

Oh ! Cassidy

You drove your car
a Cadillac
the top pulled down
and the radio on

I asked you ,"Where ?"
you said,"I don't care
as long
as we are moving on."

Remember those
night time wails
and the days
we spent in jail

The women we met
The broken drum set
The times we said ,
"We're going to Hell !"

Oh ! Cassidy !

In Mexico you
met your match
on the railroad tracks
trying to escape the pain

Your hand was hot
but the deck was stacked
so you cashed
out of the game

The Tequila was warm
but the night
was cold
and your clothes were thin

You went to sleep
and left
the pain behind
never to wake again

Cassidy , oh Cassidy !

Like the soft green grass
beneath
the morning dew
I'm thinking 'bout you

Have you ever seen a sunflower reaching out to the sun, following him wherever he goes?

Or an evening water lily shying away and blushing under her lovely pink at all times when the sun is in the sky?

Have you ever seen a dandelion break herself into countless little pieces and fly away to places unbeknownst, just to make herself full again?

Have you ever seen a rose, apprehensive of what might destroy him, guarding himself with numerous thorns, yet so beautiful that you can’t help but ignore his thorns?

Have you ever seen daisies growing through the cracks in the sidewalk, reminding you to look for beauty even when you can’t?

Have you ever seen flowers? Then you have seen love; for flowers are nothing, but love.
"Flowers are love's truest language"
– Søren Kierkegaard

Complete Protection to the Driver.
My Body.
You and I aren't ordinary,
there are some things about us that are very,
unique and can cause me to feel very cheery,
and I'll never be weary,
as long as I have you to help me carry,
my thoughts around when things get scary,
and when the need comes you can be contrary,
to my point of view when necessary.
If there even requires a situation that needs me to be wary,
I can lean on you to get me out of that hairy,
situation that I've gotten in with your ancillary,
advice that at this point is customary,
to how we treat each other in a way that feels honorary.
It's nice to be reminded that the lows are just momentary,
while we've built our own monastery,
of commitment and our own sanctuary,
that is anything but temporary.
You've turned me into a visionary,
you're own personal emissary,
that treats you anything but secondary.
You and me are contemporary's,
equals even though my itinerary,
puts you in the front of my list of preliminary,
love and support that is anything but unnecessary,
and through our care of each other in this planetary,
scale of admiration and fascination is to the point of extraordinary,
it will be all I'll ever need to make me want to stay around as long as possible and out of the cemetery.

I wouldn't be human.
If I never made a mistake.
None of us are perfect.
Even those claiming to be a perfectionist.

Couldn't be a politician?
Just a wickedness it our youth.
Instantly be used against you.
We see what some of the most powerful men going through.

If I never made a mistake?
Where will I learn my correction?
To correct to my satisfaction.

Beautiful, as they are.
There's no perfect woman.
Although some think they truly are.

Who?
In their youth hadn't done something to be ashamed of in life.
Glad, I never wanted to be a judge.
But we all was a bad kid.

Only when you are an adult.
Do you get exposed?
Even some of these allegations of accusation are simply old.

I guess we live and learn?
