You can....you can always tell

Bless the animal lovers of this world

All the full grown men and women

　

All the boys and girls

Who reach out with a caring hand

With good will in their souls they understand

　

It does take patience

It does take skill

But let our days be happy'

Let our hearts be filled

　

Because there will be reward

Far far more than we can give

My babies have made me a better person

They've taught me how to live

　

They can come with four legs

They can come with wings

Real joy is there to be had

They give us songs to sing

　

It takes a responsibility

It takes an opening of arms

You can always tell an animal lover

They've been touched by magic charms

You can see it all around you

You can see it all around you
In your hometowns your cities
There is an evil loose that lives
to take and take without pity

Merciless is the new cry
From the mediocrity gone mad
They never truly feel glory
Nor do they experience sad

Power alone is their aphrodisiac
Is their elixir to gluttonously drink
They no longer honor honor
They no longer bother to think

They seek not wisdom
Nor do they set out to explore
The men are slugs and thugs or wusses
The women holes without souls and whores

They steal from the people
They lay waste to the land
With their ravenous greed to feed
Upon the beautiful and the grand

Burn all the libraries
Individuality be damned
The world is slipping away
Like sand through the hands

Emptiness is upon us
Now comes the dark without a dawn
The final battle calls to us
On which side of the river are you on

Which side of the river are you on

Who's is this

You can't make someone else be free
You can only offer them the opportunity
You can not make them accept change
You can only speak wisdoms name

They have to see the light
They have to walk out of the night
They have to learn to learn
They have to hold to discipline stern

We can only fly if we have wings
We alone must uplift our voice to sing
We must face the fierce grace of eternity
We must through tears learn to see

I must say this truth is my own
I must stand even when all alone
I will find the light of insight
I will I will unwaveringly

Do what's right

Everything happens for a reason

I don't believe that crap


Sometimes it just sucks
Sometimes it's fucked up beyond all belief
Sometimes the hits keep on comin
Grief upon grief upon grief

But you keep on fighting
You keep on living
You keep on loving
You keep on giving

You put your shoulder to it
One more time
You get back up
You drag yourself to the line

You can learn from everything
Yeah and that's a bunch of crap too
Sometimes it's all you can do

To survive it to scrape to scrap
To crawl through

You get back up
You drag yourself to the line
You put your shoulder to it

One more time

I must

I've been living in an intellectual wasteland
Like reading is the most boring thing
There is nothing in their empty heads
That makes them want to sing

That wait for you in bookstores
Like when are we going someplace else
There is nothing of ideas they want to discuss
All they're truly interested in is their self

They split their attention when you speak
To them of something of which you truly care
They're absolutely amazed when you stop
They just look dumb founded and stare

I've been living in an intellectual wasteland
Where art is just some shallow la di da
They could care less about a painting
Or a sculpture or anything you ever saw

That had any heart and sweat and divinity in it
That has any echo of infinity in its form
Empty pattern after empty pattern they do go on
Even their way to rebel is but a way to conform

I must find another set of invitations to accept
I must find another for whom I can reach out
I must find the presence of those who share
The driving force inside to find what its about

When speaking of the roads to creativity
And how to get magic projects put in play
I've been living in an intellectual wasteland
I must find another way

Lightning

Lightning
Lightning Boy
Good Boy Lightning

Good Boy

He had a deep throated bark
And he meant what he said
He had a strong strong spirit
And now

I lie here on my bed

****
****

My world is less
But I was blessed for a while
He was a dedicated protector
He brought with him warmth

And a smile

He knew there was evil
He knew there was danger
He was nobody's pretend friend
To loyalty and affection no stranger

Lightning
Lightning Boy
Good Boy Lightning

Good Boy

He had a deep throated bark
And he meant what he said
He had a strong strong spirit
And now

I lie here on my bed

And I miss him
But it's not about me
Oh the pain of knowing
That only with real love

Can there even be

Tragedy

N.....again

I heard my dogs Bark this morning

And

I thought....
Life listens to itself
Life speaks to itself

Out in the open
Loud and clear
Here and there
Far and near

Sometimes I feel
Like my dog
When he chases his tail

Sometimes life is
Such a joy
When it all goes clear
How can we fail

Celebrate the day
Look upon the newly fallen snow

There is no seen and seer

When in one we know

Dance..
Dance..
Dance like the wind
Dance..
Dance..
Dance with the wind

As it is in the beginning
So shall it be

In the end

I heard my dogs
Bark this morning

And I realized
I visualized
It all conceptualized

Into we are all
Each others ears nose and eyes

And I smiled
Because there's no cool
Ending..
For this poem

But so what
