Songbird coo

Let me open up the door
To that pulsing golden core
Where music and love combine
Into melodies enchanting and sublime
Let me take you to that place
Where entwined we reach a state of grace
Under mesmerizing stars
We'll know the night as well and truly ours

Buried treasure

I watched the river flow
Around my naked feet
I felt my toes get cold
While enjoying the summer heat

Soon a ripple from the past
Emerged before our eyes
In a rainbow of shining brilliance
Very much to our surprise

A kaleidoscope of color
Brought haphazardly to the fore
A millennial trove of treasure
Of creatures from before

We filled our meager coffers
With all that we could find
And returned then to the river
Leaving happy thoughts behind

Committed

You've made your vow
You're committed now

A family man
With a bigger plan

The wheel has turned
All others are spurned

You've made your nest
And we wish you the best

Go West

The fields were yellow and green

Under skies of blue

The landscape was magnificent

Never-ending and brand new

A lush and fertile land

Where man could thrive and grow

A place filled with essentials

On display as if for show

But is this where we're called?

To settle and to sow?

In a pastoral kind of existence?

Leaving behind all we know?

Talking, talking

Why must this be so difficult
Wouldn't it be so much easier?
To talk it out and have our say
Instead of just getting angrier?

Put down the gadget and relate to us
You'll see that we do care
All we want is a harmonious home
In which we all can share

Victims all

We saw you live again last night
We were at the show
Watching your glory in blazing light
From the very first row

You've aged with grace, no longer boys
Your sound filled with flare
Playing to a hall of noise
Showing us all how much you care

Thank you.

Grey Day

The clouds have gathered again today
Looking out the window all I see is grey
A misty landscape of texture and shapes
A fantasy world through which creatures traipse
A perfect morning for feel blue
Getting lost in words for lack of anything to do

Dirty Dancing

The image flickered on the screen
Of dancers entwined in a sultry scene
When music set the Bacchanal mood
And the innocent believed in their cozy brood

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young and our souls aglow

We plunged right in, we knew the score
We wanted the fantasy and so much more
We understood that time had past
But trusted still that the joy would last

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young and our souls aglow

A bittersweet triumph of old and young
Learning the words to songs unsung
Understanding that from now on
The world was waking to a brand new dawn

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young, and our souls aglow

And now years away from that misty age
The music still rattles the sleepers cage
Calling out to the ghosts gone by
Bringing laughter, joy & and sad, sweet sigh.

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young, and our souls aglow.  

Ah, summer

As the dew clears from the verdant summer grounds
Another morning dawns, waking to happy, carefree sounds
From the laughter in the breeze
To the chirping high-up among the leaves
Nature's symphony is clearly at its peak
When the world is soaking up the sun's brilliant heat

Impressions 1

Falling asleep so slowly
A gentle comforting haze
Covering the world so wholly
With a hypnotic kind of gaze
