soon the buds of spring
shall unfold to reveal their
multitude of hues

in tiny capsules
lavender lullaby as
sweet blue diazepam

most of my life I have tried to keep
appearances and show the world
that I was a strong confidant young man

I smiled my polite smile as I was dying inside,
so afraid to share with any other human being
all the shame and guilt I kep buried deep inside

I have a fellowship of people today,
where our common weakness unites us
and we find strength in mutual vulnerability

when I embrace my weakness,
I allow God to enter into me
through my wounds

how easily I forget along with the rest of the world
that God chose to meet us face to face in weakness,
in a flesh like mine

the quill never slumbering, poetry lines written 24/7
gals and guys with metaphors, fly in from everywhere
at the hub they amass, sharing works fair
in styles ever so sublime, ink spilled all the time
bringing a verse of joy, in all countries around the globe
our words verily sighted, the assembly give them a cheer

I live my life free and easy
Taking it one day at a time
It could be described as cool and breezy
Living this way in time cause it's my dime

I don't follow any pattern
Making it all up as I go
Whatever bed post I hang my lantern
Only at that moment in time will I know

It's not like I don't really care
There's just not a lot that you can do
Rolling down the hill of life you'll eventually find
What ever it is you've got coming to you

And don't you just love surprises
The not knowing of what's coming next
I'm the first to take my on advice as
I toss into the wind all that I have

Cause I live my life free and easy
Sort of floating through this life
It's nothing less than cool and breezy
Living this way in time cause it's my dime
