See Spot Run..
This icon of our education
yes..of youth..but continuing..
The question might be asked:
Was our education ever other
than variations of Spot running..?
Sophistication arrived but
the strong belief of separation:
Spot..and ****..and Jane
remains.. seemingly implanted
unquestioned and permanently
in what we call our world..
Through the years
some have found discomfort
a hole at the center of
Spot's adventures..
A vague unsettling
blossoming on some days
to sharp fragmentary pain..
In our many searchings
for restoration and  fulfillment
might we in some momentary
clarity..see Spot not running
but dissolving into
the light of day...

Though the red has bled

At times into the white

And the stars have spangled

Oft into the night

The waving of her glory

To this day bravely flies

With all the strength afforded

Under freedom's sun drenched skies
God bless America

for every season
there is a reason
an upward purpose
to believe in

a time for finding
the love of life in
the perfect seven
this side of heaven

There's a whole lotta nothing
That can be dug from the grave
Of life's buried problems
Of our past mistakes

You can chisel the tombstone
Make room for the dates
Of the didn't go the way we planed
That now lay to waste

You can call in the Pallbearers
To shoulder it all
To help carry the burden
Of where you left off

Hire professional mourners
To cry for the loss
But can you really afford
Such an extravagant cost

When all is said and done
The last word the preacher will say
Is there's a whole lotta nothing
That can be dug from the grave
Found this and cleaned it up for a smoother ride.

I woke up this morning
To the sign of the times
Wondering where it all went
As none of this I recognize

Why do the best of all memories
Have to grow old
As years of tears have cleared the dust
From off my country road

Nothing's now simple
As it used to be
The world in which I once lived
Has moved to the South side of mean

Cold winds have brought a chill
To all I used to know
Blowing the dust off
Of my country road

There's no way to go back
But I still swim in the pond of my dreams
Diving into simpler times
Wading through serene scenes

It didn't happen all the sudden
So it never really showed
Until all the dust came up missing
From my country road

I sometimes catch slight glimpses
If you know what I mean
As I blink back the tears
From the space in-between

Would things have been different
If I would have been shown
What lay beneath
The dust of my country road

blythe
Since the day I met you
Everything seems to change
Feeling like all is new
Wonderful yet strange
