Looking at life
From both sides shows
The dark and light
As energy flows
In waves of sadness
Emotional
Imminent gladness 
In tides that glow
A smile can be
A frown you
Know

Loving this life
Is easy to do
Feeling the pain
Effortless too
And somehow 
Recognizing truth
Gives us permission
To be confused

To savor the rain
To love the sun
To feel in ways
That we have won
Without the days
Of feeling down
Feeling loved and
Feeling great
Is such a
Flip-flopped
Mental
State

With every step 
We risk to take
Our spirit's find
Ourselves awake
We feel deceived
We feel alive
We feel defeated
Buried, defied
Our disappointments
Still reside
Keeping us 
From joy
Hiding
The 
Light
Extinguishing
What
Shines
Inside

Deep within
Our bodies lie
Our greatest guide
Our greatest stride
Resonating
In our spines
Answers to questions
God will find
If just to ask
In prayer
Of mind

Without the darkness
We are not light
Without the dimming
We are not bright
Without the anger
Where is delight?

Looking at life
From both sides shows
The dark and light
As energy flows
In waves of sadness
Emotional
Imminent gladness 
In tides that glow
A smile can be
A frown you
Know

No matter how much 
Disbelief
Sorrow, blues, 
Heartache or grief
To feel the way
In which we do
Can be another
Tear or two
Closer still
To our relief
Finding our way
Towards inner peace
Good fortune, comfort, 
Hopefulness
Is gained
With every 
Pang
And
Bliss

The eclipse of our
Doubt sustains
Our certainty
Where love 
Remains

Always

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

not handsome though
luck came my way
she found me out
loved me one day

loved me one day
then one day more
she gave me a place
took me indoor

took me indoor
let me be within
loved me the way
I had never been

I had never been
handsome though
she saw me through
in one go
what's in a look
trees wrapped in lights glitter
shine and sparkle under moons night
open land, expansive
to run
to slide
snow so white and soft like clouds
absorbs our bodies fall

pines and firs a canopy
casting gaze on all below
branch tips wrapped in delicate ice
magic wands
hovering o're our heads
this eve of moonlit glow

Winter Everywhere!!!!:-)
the grim reaper adverts
show on television sets
told of a disease which
was not sparing of upsets

the virus spread quickly
among the gay community
so too within the *** worker
and blood donor's fraternity

famed people contracted
its most awful lade
they weren't excused
from its dark *****

their faces became
very hollow of look
not like those seen
in a healthy picture book

Rock Hudson
Arthur Ashe
Freddie Mercury

medical researchers
joined in a global fight
to contain the splay
of this dreaded blight

International Aids Day
is marked on the calendar to- day
a day to remember the many folks
who won't be here this day
1/12/2014  is International AIDS day.
Hard rain tapping head  .  .  .
Winter gales come from nowhere,
  .  .  .  What are they saying?
