Rough Time

Rough Time

Lost our way, long ago
New flows new normal
Thin wedge’s edge sleepwalking too deaf to the pitch change
Softly, blow upon blow
Welcome to strange
Rough Time…

Climb

Climb

Look there’s a ladder going up to nowhere
Rumblly tumbly gait, up in the air
Hand over hand climbing
Ten toesies aligning
No fear to be fair

Thinks, there’s something of mine…

Sweet Sweet Eyes

Sweet Sweet Eyes

Come take a look at my hands, look at my hands today
Come take a look at my hands, look at my hands today
Well they hold the days of all the years gone by
Since we met in that city street by chance…

Calico dreams with you tonight
Calico dreams deride
Calico dreams gift of mine
Calico dreams surrogate child

Calico dreams darling surprise
Calico dreams survive
Calico dreams patchwork lives
Calico dreams goodbye goodbye…

Something Strong

Something Strong

Hey come catch this
This guy just sits there
With that look on his face in his eye
Seems like he’s found
Found what we dream of
When we can’t get to sleep late at night

But right now can’t be to sure that things will work out…

Slipping Out On The Ocean Tonight

Slipping Out on the Ocean Tonight

Slipping out on the ocean tonight
Down that long path to the sea
There on the sand, in the salty air
Pulled in the tides of you and me

Slipping out on the ocean tonight
Heard the waves whispering today
Come and find old childhood vows
Hear them echo across the bay…

Turning Without Her

Turning Without Her

Come on out with me, let’s go
Time burns
So many forgotten steps
Once learned
But you’re so beautiful tonight
And we’re together
You spin arm’s length
First turn heartaches…

Low Bar

Low Bar

Empty G spews on
Jewish lasers QAnon
No crash deaths at the Pentagon
One of us
Assaults traumatized college kids
Guns at the speaker’s head
Election denier anti-vaxxer spread
Psychotic pus,,,,

Dream Feed

Dream Feed

Up and exhausted (clock says 3am)
Workday tomorrow (and I’m not sure I can)
Digging deep but it’s so hard to find, I think I’ve lost it all

(Then I sink into) your trusting ties
(Drink it in find there’s) no surprise…
(Surging joy embraces) whispered prizes

To Me

To Me (for Gree)

Down on the floor, grandkids say Gree come on over to me
Through the stage door, Bernarda Alba, Curious George to me
Hospice MSW civil rights Chopin am remembering
By pass, good night sweet prince the loneliness dance’n’swing…

Dirty Dealings

Dirty Dealings

Long time ago before all the lies led us astray
Curley’s wild shotgun ride movie cliche
Romancing ourselves, part of our lore, what we believe
Thought protecting ourselves right idea’s all we’d need
Living story board…

Right Brain Left

Shark Bite

Shark Bite

Shark bite:  Out of the depths below
Shark bite:  Watching it all unfold
So much gain, so much loss
Discovery’s high, voyeur’s cost

Shark bite:  Out of my view, blind side
Shark bite:  I didn’t feel or mind
Thought I sensed your blue core
Aimed at me hurt some more…

Out of Rhythm and Time

Out of Rhythm and Time

Used to think “I’ve got time”, live for tomorrow
So far to go
Not so much like the rest, a throwback forward
Always finding the flow

Out of reasons and rhymes
Out of rhythm and time…

Higher

Higher

Light speed flavored waves (0 0 0 0 0)
Mercy file
Scanned a to z, duked in server style
She calls in her name, video smile
Com 2 doe ce doe, cyber hyper child
Really hard to say,

Cool, my my
Think I’ll launch her way…

Vouch For You

Vouch for You

Bring it on home, a secret
Nobody knows the truth
There it is now, it’s buried deep
Bring it on home for me to see

Everybody knows a secret
Burns deep inside, a slow hot fuse
She called on out, today’s defeat
Bring it on home, sing it to me…

Could Be Kind

Could Be Kind

There was a man, a heart so cold
His frowns could freeze the sun
He never smiled or had kind words for anyone

Then one day he heard a child singing to herself
I’d swear I heard him say as his heart began to melt…

Hold Tight

Hold Tight

Turn a blind eye, see all the pain
Bare knuckle hold, dulling out praying for any change
Dream at you, dream at you day by day
Dream at you, dream at you play by play

No more surprise, into the light
That’s right
I’ll see you go by…

In The Play

In the Play

Run on the grass, chase games, picnic times
Neath summer sun, memory chimes
Bare footed brand new friends are running heart made just found
Days bright now into whispered sounds

Wonder if it’s all in the play?
Todays, tomorrows, yesterdays

Make It This Time

Make It This Time

We say our goodbyes
The touch of you
And day turns to night
Back into the blue
Call; say it’s all right
Call; see it’s all right

The pitch is outside
Time to pull through

Song Sprite

Song Sprite

Sing yourself to sleep as you rock in my arms
Sing yourself a peace that keeps you from harm
Know that we’ll be here as you close your eyes

Know that we hear your heartbeat in your lullabies
