I want to be a shepherd
Raise flocks of sheep
I want to be a fisherman
Catch hauls of fish like the noble Pete
...
Just as everybody does
Every once in a while
As we make our way through
Our own queer vicissitudes of life
...
I feel a tug in somewhere deep inside
Its that cherub
With her smiling face,
Twinkling eyes
...
Why insecure, my bonny lass
Why it’s the moment of rapture true
Time of recollection -
Beauty that ne'er was
...
If in me you find the warmth you do,
And I find myself in you,
Then why be two
When one will do
...
He’s done it again
Seems like he’ll never stop
Didn't I tell him -
...
There’s poetry in everything
In all the earth and sea
You have to just stop and see.
...
Writer, convict, thief!
Who gave you permission
Answer me,
To steal my possession?
...
We are what we're made to be
There's a purpose beneath
All the heavens
Being worked out here.
...
Oh, reason not the need
Why I need so to go away
From a good place, a decent pay?
I have this throbbing alway
...
Why do you men
Want to listen to gossip
When you can build up the courage
To come over and ask me straight?
...
When love is in the air
The moon's a perfect crescent
The stars are bright and clear
The birds go chirping
...
Will someone help a blind man home
He’s lost himself in someone else
Eyes no more to see
...
I like to watch the clouds,
The sky, the stars,
The rainbow still
And hope one day
...
I like to watch the clouds, The sky, the stars, The rainbow still And hope one day To meet the Lord on high. For now, I walk Gazing at trees, The leaves, all nature around He made for me to see. Led by Him, I touch and feel That He helps me to But there's something else O'er here, I've found That He's kept in store The while To show just now to me.)
To Find Myself
Agnes, I haven’t seen
A rose blossom
As it has just now
Your heart is like
A passionate garden -
Fertile.
And your mind eloquent -
To give expression
To the pretty thoughts,
Sown in there.
I perceive a vibrant flower -
Too exotic for words.
Enchanted, I’m enthralled!
Keep your glow,
And your charm.
Never lose it -
So, I can
From time to time
Draw from your scent
A sustenance -
To find myself.
