Daily experience for most
is a delightful fearful mixture..
We are content to allow the mixture
to serve as undoubted real..
Acceptance of the
warp and woof
is the life we know..
Yet pain and distortion
confusion and doubt
lead some to question..
And in questioning to
discover  Reality anew..
Finding:
warp and woof
are most blinding
hiding our inherited light
declaring enforced separation
ensuring captivity remains...

A splash of green clover beneath bare feet
A hot Pekoe tea with a smidgen of honey
A hardwood canopy with a Mossy Oak
to rest upon
The first cool day of Fall to turn you on* ...

Find a guitar for it is the sun , wind and rain
Frets are the tumblers unlocking one's pain
Music is the stair step to higher being
Harmonize with windsong as your mind is freed

Tones that touch the heart of thine enemy , mimic
the heartbeat of Jehovah , crashing wave chorus ,
thunderclap above , the flight of eagles , the braying of young
beagles , the coo of turtle dove , laughter of a child , whispers
of love

Perform with eyes ridden with tears , with unbridled fear
Before the committed stockade with reason held captive , before
the downtrodden and the betrayed , before the hopeful and the vain
In the backdrop of freedom , against the folly of state induced reason
In thy greatest hour of grief , atop the mountainous relief* ....

Always find a way to make yourself better
Believe that you can do it
Take on a new challenge
Build up your inner spirit
Be that light that shines
When the scenery is dark
Uplift yourself greatly
And provide that spark

Found yaw marks on the blacktop
Someone had a bit of trouble trying to stop
Maybe got distracted by something unknown
He struggled to get it together and carried on
Maybe he was showing how much he could handle and lost control
I understand his situation for I've been guilty myself at times of all four* ..

.

When sleepless evenings

endlessly gather in lonely hours
keeping you from your dreams

I feel bad because I love you,

but wonder if this is the reason
that every night

you are in mine
