ANOTHER ROAD

If lightning blinds me It’s only thru hindsight I approach The unexpectedness of an un-spent dream that spills before me Tidy is the dream that unzips it’s amour To face the Sun As if I could complete myself In a day’s journey I am what I am A rock amongst rocks And in one glorious moment To reveal...

APPLES AND ORANGES

I could have been born as red as apple Or the color of an orange If I were born next door I’m just glad I was born me And not an orange Because I got enough to deal with Sign in to see full entry.

The idea of God always seems a little big for me And even if there were a beginning and an end Why am I always in the middle of another beginning? I might wonder about this thought If I had one While striving for a harmony Within my imperfections Meanwhile The question remains the same Sign in to see full entry.

A Short, Very Short, Pre-History of Music

Chap 1): I don’t think there’s a big mystery where music begins if we consider the first slap on our little behinds, and our entrance into this world.
