***************************************************************Uplift
as a child quickens in awareness
a hint of light glimmers in the fog,
introducing again dimension.....
transforming in cycles now spirals, now gone...
hovering just beyond the day
***********************************************What Harsh Reality?
the antique people are caught in their castles
high in their towers they drape themselves with flowers
close their eyes and spend forgotten hours
screaming with their voices trying to be heard
the sheet metal gleams its metallic sheen as we find our sun baked god is dead
the lights of our eyes our perfunctory sighs we find we are the blind being led
agonized screams show misery seems the road we must travel today
pack up your bags and throw in the rags before we are forced to stay
destroy those cities destroy this land you've done one already but don't understand
your pride is no longer in beauty and green or the fields of sweet grass that are no longer seen
instead there is smoke polluting our air rushing subways and cars people hurrying here
no longer is peace displayed throughout this land only cities and dirt put there by your hand
so now we sit in a new environment and walk on walks paved with cement
as we smile with uneasy content and fight our disillusionment
and now our minds slowly ferment with worry about minds that are bent
those that rule this establishment the ones who came out of retirement
seems they met the requirement now we find much to our discontent
that the lives we thought heaven sent are not really bought, but just lent
as we walk walks paved with cement and we smile with uneasy content
we learn much in our illusionment that our lives were just uselessly spent

************************************************************* Husbands & Wives
Brand new morning comes now the birds are singing bringing
children playing in life
Husbands and wives look for the reason they're crying
on this merry go round of strife.
Up in the blue sky the clouds are forming fast
soft powder puffs without sound
Tears and laughter come ringing now in my ears
it's life's merry go round
So sad now to watch as this love dies at last
its not easy to stand
I cannot reach out to keep you here by my side
I am no longer your man
The sun is sinking now slowly into the sea
children are ready for rest
Darkness is creeping now deeply into our life
we could not give them our best
Come Lady come to me hear laughter voices singing
come so softly to me
Let your love flow now let our joy be full
on this merry go round it's free
************************************************************* Unfold
Doesn't seem so long ago
we sat and watched our thoughts unfold
and had no idea of the reality
of the things we said we'd like to see....
only love to you at rare moments....
**************************************************************** Winters Peace
peace in solitude... suffering in silence...
sorrow like a snow to blanket and chill my soul...
stillness in the winter of life... numbness creeping..
a glimpse into my soul... so tortured, so cold...
smile like sunshine brought warmth to me...
steel ice melted... life warm...
fluid... flowing...

***************************************************** Once Again
once again
~~ let the tears flow with a fervent heat down your cheek
~~ let your eyes grow red and strained with the pain
~~ but remember, we who are the children of God
have the Promise of the Plan the Man has set from the beginning
~~ so let your sorrow carve into your being until you can sorrow no more
~~ then, knowing the Kind Father has taken His Child Home
wake to a new day in a new tomorrow
leave the hole sorrow carved become filled with the Marvelous Faith of our Fathers
and let there be joy filled by our children's children's children
***************************************************** Wrong
wrong is wrong the way wrong is wrong
it's easy to throw stones, but don't complain
when in the game the blood splatters upon your garments
ain't nuttin' new under the sun, my brothers,
ain't nutin' new
samo samo as they say
more of the same with every day
young men growin' older, old men growin' gray
young boys bein� bolder, young girls gone astray
there's a better way so continue to
pray for the Children n the Parents
