Can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me sing?
Could you, would you, love me?
Care for our offspring?
If you would only have me
I could be complete!
So, this song I sing
Incessantly
For you to find
Me sweet!

Humanly
This condition
…………Humanly
All my skin falling off of me
All my hair sticking out in
Odd places
Or Not growing at all
As if it Gave Up
on its status (gave into stasis)
My deeply vetted grooves
around eyes and mouth
That have dug in so deep
as I have worried and frowned!
Or that gray hair growing out of
My Third Eye
As if reaching to heaven
to absorb the light.
We call it a pixel
on the top of my head.
I am all too quite sure
that it comes from my dread.
But it’s OK, cause even though
I’m getting older and it’s starting to show
–We regenerate every 8 years or so…
I’ve entered my last 3 cycles
Where it all starts to go
(To Hell…)

Overcome
Harken ye
……Trepidatiously
To the sounds of your own limiting
……Thoughts
…………..Overwrought
with Disparaging Plots of yourself
……and others
will you hear?
…………….Can you see?
Past these trappings of humanity?
That consume your mind
And make you blink with blood
Red Eyes and heart attack
…………………..Drives —
…..While you despise
…….Everything
………About
…….Breathing
….Until you stop
…Harken ye
..Breathlessly
SHAKE OUT YOUR DRIED UP LUNGS!
Take the plunge
Of Cool Deep Breaths
and a return to oneness
where you’ve let yourself go
and stop your judgement’s flow
As you let the river run
And Everything is Overcome.

Broken Token
When your mind is broken
What remains…a token
Of your soul fading
As all you care about is ratings!
Are you approved?
……..Are you even liked?
By these people who all judge you
For not meeting expectations
In your like…in your art
In your fervid contemplations
whose flame bursts
to consume in annihilation
And withers
in recognition
of all
the (others)
who called
you
…

Harmonics
So much work to write music
So much muscle memory
to chisel into stone
until you can play without looking
so that you, yourself, become
One with your instrument,
your words, your songs
and you don’t care if
anyone comes along for the ride
(singing along)
…..For you
……….are no
………….longer here!
You have tapped into the
……….Universal
………….The Harmony
……………The Frequency
……………..The Rhythm
The Resonance of Spirituality
……….and for one
………….small moment
…..The Song
……..Makes you
…..Immortal
On this Earth Day 23
It’s a beautiful Day to Be
Out in the sun even as the wind carries
A warm spring day to make us cheery!
As we clear away clutter
That’s made such a mess,
Like a shed full of old camping gear
And a garage full of Christmas.
We think of how lucky to live on the earth
Sunny sun, diggy dirt, wet water, seedy birth
It all starts today and there’s so much to do
Bursts of growth, reaching out to see you
The Gardener who patiently watches time fly by
As everything at once blooms with life
And welcomes the death with all its fertility
As it brings forth new life and new creativity.

Broken Neck
I was so excited
……for the new notes
Wanted to hear them
……in the digital soak
Strapped button gave way…
My little girl fell flat on her face!
Broke her neck and
Stole her song.
Made me cry all night long.
No more wah wah
No more crunch
Until the epoxy
Restores her trunk
Stronger than her original form
where she needs to be strung
where she must strike a chord
We hope and pray for her speedy recovery.
May the Gods of Metal answer her
Urgent inquiry!

Memetics
How to turn a phrase
into a weapon?
How to clearly erase
Another’s interpretation?
How to fully replace
The historical notations?
Memetics
Who would seek to control
The future from the past?
Who would believe their soul
could outlast?
Who would want to fool
your whole caste?

Spring Tumult
Just when you’ve celebrated
that spring has come
Winter runs around
coming undone.
She throws her tumult
against the change
She’s not through
And refuses to give way!
She blows her cold
Like the Pig in 3 Wolves
Who terrifies the hounds
for settling down too soon.
This late season assault
out of place in the desert
where Santa Ana waits
to push her to the outskirts
of summer’s warm embrace and
A Sun so bright that the
She seeks the mountains
And the Darkness of Night.

Winds of March
Blow, blow
Ye winds of March
The violent exchange
Between Winter and Spring
The stirring of everything
to Awaken!
A flurry of life.
I sit, the observer
Usually annoyed by the blasted
onslaught
But, here I caught myself
And closed my eyes — —
The wind blew on by
Until I rode a wave
and floated away
Flying across the seasons
Finally Being
At peace with the Force
that had frayed my ends.
Now a Flag in the wind
My tattered feelings
were lifted away
and in the Sky I stayed
for the day.
