choosing to take this walk
through featureless woods

smelling the crisp
freeze your hair
February air

fresh snow a foot deep
no tracks to follow
making fresh ones

going slow
along buried paths
instinct guiding

reaching a ringed meadow
covered in crystal laced night

shooting stars raced
from one tree to another
my eyes racing to catch up
my mind chasing along

when northerly winds lashed
covering my carefully laid tracks
as if I was never there at all

there I stood naked
trembling from
that simple truth

What comes around
goes around and
Good for the goose is
good for the gander
Don't count your chickens
before they hatch
Didn't know who or what is
considered a good catch
A bird in hand is
worth two in a bush
Don't be in a constant rush
stop and smell the flowers
Every child has godly powers
As a above so below
All words we love and know
But these phrases
why do they stay so
forever in our mind and soul
must be a deeper truth being told
Words last in phrases and songs
to be remembered, nourished and retold

This most ultimate test will not be passed until you go from into out.

in your eyes
reflect my deepest wishes
our love still shines

A man should say when he lied or not
be willing to apologize to the ones he hurt
wear denim jeans and a ripped shirt
crush a beer can and rub a cut with dirt
Like when I supply us with wood to cook
chopping and hacking in a violent mood
yet I still sees beauty in a wood duck hood
No real man says he can't hug another guy
or bow down and pray wife at his side
my message for young men today
Is they need to sack up and see
they can wear pink for sisters in need
and stop blaming Mom for being mean
Now is the time to get lean and lead
