THE ARTISTRY OF SILENCE
He filled the echo of silence
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
each echo soud of the selah
.
The beautiful artistry of the echoing silence
Resounded as a hollow sound
Bounced back against the concrete temple walls
With the silver-tints of the soft winds
From his flute.
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
each echo soud of the selah
.
The beautiful artistry of the echoing silence
Resounded as a hollow sound
Bounced back against the concrete temple walls
With the silver-tints of the soft winds
From his flute.

Does Anybody Dream a Comedy
I'm wakin' up again from a bad nightmare
and I don't think I can fall back asleep
even though it's late, I know I'll be okay
but I'm tired of the same old, same old, tragedy
does anybody dream a comedy
or am I the only one who never has?
is it odd I've never heard a laugh
or a piano playin' Alley Cat
so I'm wonderin' if anybody dreams in comedies
unlike me
the road is dry and boring on this long haul out to west Texas
and I'm itchin' for a break to catch some zzz's
not because I'm tired, no, the situation's...
and I don't think I can fall back asleep
even though it's late, I know I'll be okay
but I'm tired of the same old, same old, tragedy
does anybody dream a comedy
or am I the only one who never has?
is it odd I've never heard a laugh
or a piano playin' Alley Cat
so I'm wonderin' if anybody dreams in comedies
unlike me
the road is dry and boring on this long haul out to west Texas

I'll Meet You Halfway
With a hollow breath in a heavy world
Her faith is a fallen leaf in an early morning light
Love caught in a whirlwind
With a plead to never say goodbye
She cries
Please visit me
Please visit me
If you don't mind
Please comfort me
Look in on me
From time to time
I'll even meet you halfway
If you can't fly this far
For just one day
We'll rest this tired heart
Past the highest clouds
And the furthest star
Between heaven and our house
I'll meet you halfway
Dripping down her...
Her faith is a fallen leaf in an early morning light
Love caught in a whirlwind
With a plead to never say goodbye
She cries
Please visit me

If you don't mind
Please comfort me

I'll even meet you halfway
If you can't fly this far

We'll rest this tired heart
Past the highest clouds
And the furthest star
Between heaven and our house

ARTISTRY OF SILENCE
He filled the echo of silence
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
eac resounding echo of the selah
at the e reaching end of the lyrical line
The beautiful artistry of the echoes of silence
Resounded as if repling with its hollow sound
Bounced from the concrete temple walls
With the silver-tints of the soft winds
From his flute.

POLL: THE PRODUCTION LINE
PROMOTION
Speech much like inciting a rebelion
words full of sanctimonius wrath
a form of disguise, substituting motivation
— hear yeah, the wisdom of the righteous
candidates selling themselves off
as the champion of your interest
SALES
The exercise of free choice in democracy
is much like a market of monopoly
where choices are limitted edition only
— vote yeah, the brand of oligarchs
greedy crocodiles who gave away money
In public coffers they profitted greatly
AFTER-SALES ...

Seeing the beauty
A man of many words can inspire lots
with a tiny verse of courage,
A woman has finely tuned emotions,
With unfathom pinpoint intuition,
A neutral being is beautiful to,
With insight to equality,
A naturouse plant that grows all over,
With undying growth, lifes quality,
An for the animals that roam this earth,
Your so wondrous an natural.
There's so much beauty in the world,
From urban town, to land rural,
Keep and accept all the beauty
That you find and seek, for this will,
Enrich your soul and Life's being.

AMOR ETERNO
Te amo, O Dios, con todo mi corazon
Con todo mi mente y mi ser.
Con todo lo que tengo en mi interior
Deseas verdad en lo mas intimo de nosotros
Te amo hasta que la luna no de su luz
Ni el sol su calor.
Hasta que Tu verdad deje de existir
No por ley del hombre
Sino por el fin de la eternidad
Te amare y te alabare porque eres lo mas amoroso que hay en la vida
Aunqu seamos infieles, Tu sigues siendo fiel
Pues, no te nace ni te niegas a Ti mismo
Es Tu verdad por todas las generaciones.
Apesar de todas las cosas, te...

ZEAL OVER ME
Tremble, O Mountains and quiver, O Hilltops!
For the Lord, Himself, has declared
That He is a jealous God!
May the sun shine upon you with its drops of rays
May the rain of His jealousy never touch your way!
May God’s zeal embrace you
May His tender mercies shield you.
Love Him, but don’t you cross Him
For, He has announced, O Mountain of Zion,
He is the Jealous One of Israel.
Do not taste the charcoal grill of His Wrath
For provoking His jealousy earns His wrath.
Though His anger is for but a moment
How catastrophic that...

Real Life
can we rewind just a little bit
so we can keep doing what we always did
can we enjoy all the safety without the commitment
and stay on the same old proven track
can we enjoy the happiness without all the sad
but without admitting all of that
we won't fall unless we fly
we won't land unless we take off
we don't belong in this pretend honeymoon phase
it'll wear off in the coming days
we won't last unless we move towards a better sunrise
it won't hurt to breathe the fresh air
and the flowers won't even care
if we run through...

GIVE THEM TO EAT
When you feel you are passing through a desert
Faltering and fainting, unbalanced and nothing resolved
When you feel the dryness of your soul
Which you know you are in dire need of a Savior
Mediate n those favorite verses
So that you may eat in the desert the Bread of Eternal Life
When tempted to open your mouth to gossip or share a rumor
Remember not to allow your lips to smack together like clanging cymbals
And resound…Gossip, rumors, malice, and slanderous speech are empty.
Therefore, do NOT abandon words of life from your lips

A son I thought I would never have
A son I thought would never be
A son to watch grow and achieve his dreams
A son to be beyond proud of
A son to love unconditionally, through the good times and the difficult times
A son to give advice to when needed, and listen when only a listening ear is needed
A son to believe in when he doesn't believe in himself
A son to show how I see him through my eyes and not through his thoughts
A son the greatest gift of all
A son I thought would never be
A son to watch grow and achieve his dreams
A son to be beyond proud of
A son to love unconditionally, through the good times and the difficult times
A son to give advice to when needed, and listen when only a listening ear is needed
A son to believe in when he doesn't believe in himself

Bone pain
Bone pain, its blood cancer, they say
Its no big deal, we'll give you some pain meds
Great, I say, thats a relief, I don't want to suffer
you won't suffer, they say
This is called reassurance I feel
Fast forward, I'm in agony, where are my pain meds?
Oh, we cant give you anything stronger, thats it I'm afraid
You shouldn't be in this much pain
I am though...I cry...
