Write me a poem
Write me a lyric
Write me a song
that my soul might sing
...
On the edge of the water
Worrying more than ought to
river reflects back up at me
the water is cool and calm
...
Sorrow took the bus
to town and met
Happy at the square
but Happy was too busy
...
sing the songs that never were sung
this way you can never be undone
roam fields that were never harvested
this way you will never be divested
...
I've beaten brains and brawn
Smothered scorn
Outlasted politics
Cut through dramatics
...
conscious of every move
measuring every clause
targeting every audience
waiting for applause
...
The sun will shine
I know not where
But I want to be
Standing there
...
A man of forty five
looks to the mirror
a boy of eight looks back
a hand reaches the medicine
...
Mom's voice never changes
And when we speak on the phone
She is still lecturing at college
And trying to get tenure
...
I get up before you
Spirit that guides me
Angel who looks down from above
I was distraught
...
Yeah ye
I dare not deceive
I got to where
My brain couldn't breathe
...
Depression is deep winter
Frost is slow thoughts
Winter will pass
As long as snow trodding steps
...
Your life is a novel
You write each page
Dirt flies in the window
Even if your sage
...
In my house
The inanimate
Have a life of their own
Appearing and exiting
...
The fabric is frayed
The Edges Have Undone
The sun relentless
To coast in the shade
...
Write Me A Lyric
Write me a poem
Write me a lyric
Write me a song
that my soul might sing
Speak to me of wonder
Speak to me of joy
Speak to me of friendship
That would be a special thing
Take me to the high places
The high places of your soul
teach me of the spirit
The dreams that keep you whole
And then if you turn your back
I will understand
We are all fleeting spirits
in an awesome divine plan
