A blank sheet of music
The song at your command
Lyrics, notes, and chords
Chosen by your hand

Write your heart’s own song
Stand and dance your dance
Discover your inheritance
Choose to take the chance

Flowing from within
River of endless time
Taste the joyful waters
And rhyme another rhyme

Song of your creation
Choose to make it great
Write it from your heart
And live your glorious fate

warm breeze moves my heart
music heard as life’s beat flows
comforted in you

New Yearning

No Comments

I am the instrument that longs for your longing
In our music we will dance on until forever dawns again
From my fingers spring forth new wings
From our new wings we rise above the new flight
Joined in a constantly renewing moment of bliss
We ride the waves of passionate jubilation
Let us sing this song of love for all time
Let us live in the joyful perfection of now
I will satisfy your deepest yearning
And create a deeper more painful yearning
And satisfy even that new yearning
As we ride these new waves of mystical bliss
Today and tomorrow and into the infinite darkness
Joined
As one

Watching the Final Show

No Comments

Soft gray beats in the dim night’s refrain
Plans of perfection burning in the ashtray
Smoke filled club emanates with peace

Lonely souls surround the dance floor
Watching the last show of the night
Blowing kisses of dark joyful sleep

Life of the poets, lovers and fools
An old musician plays an old piano
Some things never choose to change

Outside, the rain still falls steadily
Dripping with the cool of delight
Barrier to the still unseen life

Another song begins, same as before
Light another cigarette, breathe it in deep
Watch as it joins the smoke of the others

As seven lonely souls
Watch the final show

Death’s Inviting Gaze

No Comments

The robins sing this morning
Coffee is brewing
Life rolls on

Yet
Just beneath the serenity
Underneath the smile
Wonder grows

The memories remain
So very near death
Trapped in the mire
Stranded all alone

No longer encased
In the cold steel of my fears
Free to move on
A new day rose

Yet
Just beneath the serenity
Underneath the smile
Wonder grows

Anxiety fed
Death’s pleasing odor
Dead roses rotting
Resurrect the past

Shake away the webs
Look to the blue sky
Hope grows in the heart
Tasting love’s morning dew

Yet
Just beneath the serenity
Underneath the smile
Wonder grows

Would this time be different?
Death beckons me so
Release me from the joy
Comfort me in the warmth of loss

Close the eyes to life
Let the music entice
Listen to the lonely heart
Cold steel’s embrace

Yet
Just beneath the sorrow
Underneath the tear
Truth lights a candle
Illuminates the way home

Death’s inviting gaze
Enticing, still today
But deep within the heart
Love is still the way
