TAKING IT ALL IN
Nightbird,Nightbird cawing in the twilight ,outside my window causing us a fright
Long comes mornin when pretty birds are singing in a big blue sky ,but they soon flyaway & the clouds turn grey
Had laid & slept, dreamt of a better time, windy warm felt like we were limber, lofty like a kite
Soon those feelings are turning impossible ,nothing is plausible ,again thrown into the fray
Pretty flowers, greening grasses laid out in a grand display then like the breath of hades is sent into blight
Lovely memories,mommas and poppas, brothers & sisters, with many a friend but with time I've seen their passing & felt them go away
Gentle mist softly sending us into bliss, gathered in pools, streams to flowing rivers then amassing into crashing,bashing salty waves frightening like suicide
Cuddly kittens cooing,playing puppies barking ,turning into lions and wolves growling and howling at the moon while at bay
Evolution,revolution of earth spinning ,showing cycles of light, fading then dark,darker darkest ,then alone & terrified
Begin with a grin,awake to forge ahead when we win,slowly breaking stride,left with more to hide,how much will the next load weigh
So it seems we're left with what we see hear or feel ,right or wrong
time it seems helps us take it all in stride. .R.C.

Originally started harmonizing some words in a bluegrass or folk style,but then just added to it , I don't tend to "fill in the black" :) but thought maybe better to show good & bad or dark & light? But thanks for reading. your thoughts are helpful. Rick
