"tamborine" poems
He sings with me as if in a dream
on the rolling hills of green
In a voice so clear every man can hear
Every word we mean -
Backed-by-a-choir, he beats on his tamborine
He's soft; and slightly off-key -
We are the ones that we want to love, and fortunate are we -
His lips, they purse around each syllable. His hair is moved in the breeze -
He is the spirit I've been channeling; Forever He and Me -
Two-by-two the dyads move,
Swaying in the dance -
The sun, a bobble, shines in our eyes-
By the Universe entranced -
Two are joined by the choir, the sun
And the face of the dancing crowds -
The cone-of-power confirms the manifest,
Then we ascend to the clouds -

the pharaoh's soul
ride a ferry
through the
umbilical chord
of another
cosmos
with a
steady drumbeat
and
the sound of
a tamborine

Go in Circles until you can’t anymore then go Straight
You head left Seven times then right Eight
If you see a Gate go back you have gone North for too long
Drive until you run out of gas and then walk until you Drop
When you wake there will be a Star 30’ to the West follow that until even your bones ache
You will at last hit a River with Six Six Masted Boats with Six Crew Men each
Take the Third one and give the Master all that you have
They will then take you into a Fog so deep you do not even know if you are above Water or not
Jump from the Boat when you can Swim in the Air
Swim until you are not sure that it is an Island or a Monster you are going towards
On the shore, there is a Hut and a Path
Take the Path
Leave as much Distance between you and the Hut as possible
Walk for 12 minutes exactly or you will lose your way
Close your eyes and turn until you hear Music then go towards it
You will then walk into a Clearing with a Group of People in it
A Man Playing the Fiddle
A Boy Playing the Drum
A Woman Playing the Flute
A Girl Playing the Tamborine
When the Last One turns to you ask if you may Join
If you have followed my Instructions exactly They will Yes
And when you do Join them in the Clearing something inside you will Settle
And you Will be Free at Last

Drumbeat of Sunlight
Upon Tamborine Sky
Shaman Whisper
Hissing of A Wisdom
Called Present
Add an I and a D
And I'd Be There Too
In Fact
I'D
Probably Be
THE President
Wouldn't I?
Thank You.
Always a Good Ending

what make
thunder and lightning
touch the ground
when blue sky
sings a tune
in perfect pitch
and harmony
taps her
tamborine
against the
gray clouds
that crack open
like a nest of
blue robin eggs

an orchestra
made of
cherry wood flutes
golden lyres
and cosmic
tamborine drums
instruments
played
by the gods
make
a
quite thunderstorm
yes
all that we need

oh the
hand of God
beat her
cosmic tamborine-drum
ripples through
space and time
thus all remains
a constant
what giveth
thy soul joy

Went to Carbondale to save my friend,
That was the night my life almost came to an end!
Pretty sure my kids saved my life, thank God they were there,
Pulled up to the wrong trailer and almost got shot, now that wasn't fair!
The ***** said get of my f...ing property and I asked if she knew where Kane stayed.
***** said no, so I called him and prayed!
Thank God he answered the phone, that probably helped too
When I got there Lizzy was passed out drunk and that kinda blew!
I realize it was the middle of the night,
But I had to save Lizzy, just knew it was right!
She was out and my kids wide awake,
The next day was fun, we went to the lake!
Southern Illinois is a beautiful place,
But everyone there is crazy and I knew I needed to return to my home base!
Brayden played the bongos and Karissa the tamborine,
Lizzy was so impressed, she gave them a large cuisine!
Brayden was such a mess,
I wondered why I even got him dressed!
We went to the castle park, that was cool though,
Both of my kids were just like "Woah!"
It was good to get back,
And out of that ghetto shack!
I like taking them on adventures,
And I hope they will always remember!
