I shake my head
Commence to rattling
Scratch the perfect spot

And with that said
Both right and left
Ear canals, I plug up

To give my mind
Much needed time
To round that doggie up

This desperate need
For coherency
Wait, don't leave...I'm not quite done

I roll my eyes
From side to side
Turn my head and cough

Clear my throat
As if to know
I'm about to pull this off

All of this
If you've yet to guess
To squeeze out one meager thought

who pushed fast forward
on the button life
to time set before us
crazily speeding by
i rather enjoyed the slo-mo
with its less stress and strife
we're all in a hurry
with no reason why

seems to me to be moving
at the speed of light
making us all loopy
with no tail to this kite
flipping and a flopping
with all of its might
we're all in a hurry
with no reason why

with the righteous attitude
of to do or die
kicking in our screaming
screaming in mid-flight
like we have somewhere to be
but barely have the time
we're all in a hurry
with no reason why

Woke up early this morning
The sun shinning in without warning
How's depression to set in
Messing like this with my zen

Birds outside chirping have me worrying
Squirrels playfully hurrying in their scurrying
I have no idea of what to do
With all of these good feeling blues

With the grass green on both sides
There’s no need for a change of tide
I'm about to waste my day away
With this happy plastered all over my face

How can I be sad or even mad
When I'm loving this and liking that
Out here humming Disney Princess tunes
Clinging to these good feeling blues

A slice of pie a piece of cake
A good time vibe to start the day
Just as I have often dread
I woke up on the right side of bed

As it is I'm not into this
Too much happiness and bliss tossed into the mix
What in the world am I supposed to do
Smack dab in all of these good feeling blues

Try hard as you might to set yourself free
In this world of finders keep, losers will weep
One thing you're reminded of finding
Is that you are always crying

Grass grows greener on the other side
That's when you find the road is wide
Here's a fairly radical fact
You can be happy with where you are at

The birds that get up early
Never do go hungry
Unless you find you've been thrown a curve
And over time you've become the worm

Up the creek without a paddle
Seems to be a constant battle
Do your best to grab this fact
You can be happy with where you are at

The gift horse in the mouth
Bites you the moment you let it out
You can lead that horse to water
But it won't go any further

With all your eggs in one basket
You easily forget where you left it
Get it into your head this phenomenal fact
You can be happy with where you are at

I find myself plugged in
Into high anxiety
When I'm faced with next to nothing
On my lowering level of battery

Everything I think I need
Is tethered with a power cord
Electricity has control over me
A simple fact I find hard to ignore

I'll likely get the nervous jitters
When devices start running low
Well, you know I ain't no quitter
The man in me, aways on the go

I find myself plugged in
To the nearest socket that comforts me
To keep it all clearly running
I'm deathly afraid to even skip a beat

I get the major shivers and shakes
When the battery shows 50 or below
I only hope I didn't make a mistake
And leave my charger back home alone

Out of all the issues of the day
This one really gets to me
How many out there can relate
To Battery Anxiety

...and could you spare an extra plug for me

the color blue
has many shades to choose
on different days
in different moods
what does it all mean to you
this color we call blue

does it tend to make you sad
when you recollect the past
or collect your thoughts on what's ahead
count the cost of all that's left
and where it fits best
in that color's grip

or do you look beyond
the color scheme of the path you're on
deep ocean blue or bright sky morn
heightened colors to smile upon
does the blue comfort you
or make you feel alone

the color blue
has all the moods
that it cares to place on you
on what it takes to get you through
the pastel truth it has for you
this the color blue

In these days I often find
I pray all the time
When life is going well
Or standing at the gates of hell

You often will find me
Battered, down on my knees
Mind you, not knocked down
I'm kneeling there on solid ground

To make it through this life
I pray all the time
No use in worrying
Talking with The Risen King

You might see me, a lowly debtor
Forgiven, blessed, and delivered
One that's been set free
By The One who rescued me

That's why I have in mind
To pray all the time
It's in my plan to never cease
With Christ being my greatest need

Even if the walls are closing in
I don't waste time in worrying
The bible tells all I need to know
My God is in complete control

And that my friend is why
I pray all the time...
