Thought I left.
No sounds were heard
you heard the cricket
but not the bird
Was I gone so long?
did you miss me my dear?
I think you did, love.
(that's what i hear ;)

The road won't be easy
walking once more
perhaps some music therapy
could put my feet on the floor

Maybe it's lost
a penny in the wood
you think you could find it?
(I bet that you could ;)

There's only one G-d and one woman in my life
inspire compose my savior (my w-fe? ;)

Can't promise I'll stay any longer than before
But what I can say is, I'm walking once more.

(p.s. the last boat I boarded sorta sprung leaks and sank. but it's all been sorted, and there is an incredibly pretty girl out there to thank ;)

Take my saxophone
Take my piano
Take my guitar
Take my mandolin
Take my washboard
Take my harmonica
Take my sunglasses
Take my hairbrush
Take my Bible
Take my clothes
Take my trophies
Take my baton
Take my ballet shoes
Take my cane
Take my sword
Take my monkey
Take my collections
Take my cat
Take my house
Take my memories
Take my plans
My, that was a heavy load.
I feel so light.

You can try to dodge the raindrops.
If evasion is your intent, then dive right in.
I won’t stop you,
but I will tell you.
Each raindrop you try to avoid
finds its own special way of dampening your mood.
That is, if you try to dodge the raindrops.

You can try to true the lies
If truth is you intent, then speak it.
I won’t stop you,
but I will tell you.
Each lie you try to true finds its own special way of satisfying truths.
That is, if you try to true the lies.

You can try to touch the rainbow..
If feeling is your intent, then reach out.
I won’t stop you,
but I will tell you.
Each rainbow you try to touch
finds its own special way of keeping you on the move
That is, if you try to touch the rainbow.

I can take a great moment and tear it to shreds.

I can consume an opportunity not even knowing it was there.

I can dwell on a problem mindfully for days and make the wrong decision.

I try to write something happy and I turn it upside down.

I try to write a memoir and I write a poem.

Expectations and accusations
can fall away
every time I play.
this time, you can sit still
and observe the sound of my thought.
Whether you come through or not
have it or don’t
I imagine we all have our moment.
You can only take it.
That’s the choice.

I only say what I want you to know
or think.
I am only as truthful as I find fit
or allow
You don’t know me Outside and In.
I’m an Actor, a Deceiver.
I’ll turn you up, down and up again.

Whether you know what it means or not, you do it
Whether you see it or not, it's there
Whether you leave or not, it stays
Whether you wake up or not, it happens
Whether you make the time or not, it does
Whether you feel it or not, it's touching

Whether you know what it means
Whether you see it
Whether you leave
Whether you wake up
Whether you make the time
Whether you feel it or not

I love you.
