Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and
choose the sign of your day
The day’s divinity
First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach
in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by it’s quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the woolly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose, they croon, the Ancient Ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon,
Beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
Everything is broken up and dances.
Either occupied or lack of interest
Tell me what is this?
The way seriousness surrounds
Nothing to say? just tight lips!

Wish to have a heartful talk,
To lighten the heavy heart
Let's celebrate the togetherness
And let the laughter have a blast

I am a bird
with fine feathers
adorned to skin.

I am a feathered friendly poet
full of songs
to share everyday.

I am a fledgling perched
upon pen singing to world
as wings spread.

And so I shall fly,
uncaged towards light.
calling of a sky-like page.
Inspired By Crazy Diamond Kristy  Thanks

Oh my, that seems heavy
that chip there on your shoulder
why, it's the size of Texas
such a gigantamus boulder!

Friend, lay your burden down
let go of what's bothering you
no need to lug it around
your shoulder might get black and blue

Yes, lay it down, walk away
you needn't try to be Atlas
your feet are made of clay
so lay down that boulder in Dallas.
Not picking on Texas or Texans. Just some silly rhyming!

The universe puts her headphones on
And plays her favorite track
The raindrops in the meadow burst
And soak the earth
And with her feet up on the world
She smiles from ear to ear
And plays it back
What songs does the universe listen to? Is there a more beautiful sound than the rain falling in the secluded meadow. Truthfully, I don't know. But I do love the sound of these words as they roll off the tongue. YUPP!
