This is where I’d rather be,
amongst the forest and its greener pine trees,
walking through woods we walk
with the bells of bridesmaids ringing in the eaves;
the sky is gray and
cascades in and out of lunchtime consciousness,
it knows our footprints before we know our footsteps
though it cannot know how hard I’m holding your hand,
melding slowly with non-brushed off coastal sand,
neither does it know that you’re the girl with Taylor hair
whom wears blue-lined shirts with white pencil
stitched up skirts.

But Certainty overruled with cool hand
to teach me that reality assembles on foundations
and
thoughts are built on imitation expectations:
but the Taylor haired girl exists.

bliss meets hopelessness
one does not change the other
honor each as choice
Fed by a ceaseless downpour
The river was in eruptive spate
The dam they said can’t take anymore
It must be opened the lock gate.
Open the lock gate and save the dam
Before it crumbles by the mighty force
But what of them on the riverside *******
For them lies what recourse?
The dam can come down any moment
As the raging waters fast mount
What about the millions on it spent
The loss would be immense without count.
But then for saving it if the river is let free
The settlements on its sides would go
Unleashed waters would cause misery
Villages would be washed away with the flow.
What happens in the end you guessed it right
The lock gate was opened to save the dam
Surely more than the poor villagers’ plight
The dam had to be saved *******.

When we were innocent children
In the magic stage of life
We were justified in our victim stance
That drove our need for flight
Now we answer to an inner voices
Call it what you shall
Call it Mother, call it God
Call it the lines which we tread upon
Cross we dare in our hearts despair
Still I pray not to find you there...

He paints life with laughter
There's a uniqueness to his style
His medium the world at large
His main subject, the smile

He sets his easel up
On the corner of Main and America
Paints the scenery in bold pastels
With laughter as his brush

He's been offered fortunes
But he gives his paintings away for free
Because he sees the world for what it is
And the laughter that it needs
