Pray For My Sister
My mother asked me to pray
to pray for my sister
I wonder has she ever prayed for me
It't time to change, to put away
foolish fantasies
No longer what you imagine
No longer the images in the mirrors eye
It's time to assess the real costs
Costs come with time due
I've done all my time
Now it's due
There's no reason for you to hide
No reason to go for a ride
No reason to be taken for a ride

Leaving the Long Ago Gone
Woke up uncertain...this morning
in everything
Was high without trying
stacking round peg
stacking square
going nowhere...
Drove to work but I wasn't there
tried to be myself
even if it's someone
I don't like
Caught enough recollections
to recall
just enough to get by
just enough to pass...bye
Went to bed uncertain this eve...
want to say in everything...
but I'm not certain.

Cain't Go back
You can't go back
To yesterday's dawn
By adding another verse to the song
When time was by my side
Now shows and slows
And disappears
'Where has time flown? '
Is but an insult to youth
Protagonist to the old
just an echo to me
While love was delegated
Regulated, copulated...
it bcame sedimentated,
Heated then pressured,
It became cold marble
Entombed in ways
that now are just

Tomorrow's Standing
So it's...I don't want to say it...
'Yo knows what days it is'
So it was perfectly...clear...
near and unreal
I found grounds...and planted
ways and means
Then harvested arrears and debits
and accrued total assets
Yesterday...came out of the future
to be today
only to slip away
And as I look back,
I sense tomorrow's standing
in the doorway asking,

Shared Glass Of Wine
December-
nightness and rain-
and cold
but I'm thinking of September
another night many years ago
when it also was rainning
In a moment the feelings pass,
the thought has fled,
the issue dead
we could share a glass of wine
back when...
my friend...tested me
did I pass
did I fail
or did I just sail away
cutting across the waves of care

Wheel of Dreams
Part 1.
The wheel goes around...
Maddening on and on,
going nowhere
We're only awake and alive
While asleep deep
within our dreams
Part 2.
Cain't be blue
in four/four too
frustrated...
equated...
divided...
Shucked and shelled, too!
Trying to find my way
instead
Finding ways that come trying

Goldenrod Suite
In a field of
grasshopper heat
of
the pride
the prone
of
the all that
is forever gone
of
crow hops-hops-hops
down a bug
of
a bridge I built
across the creek
of
frogs that
take a peek
of
overhead
an eagle soars

Blah, Blah, Blah
Goodbye-goodbye
blah, blah, blah...
In the shortness of his breath
all desperation was taking place
I walk off
looking far into space
The game is over
nobody-no one-
scored
we all lost
Then in a notebook
while sitting
on a park bench
an old man jots down

Blue February Promised
January's promise
was disguised
in a February blue
while the sun was
shinning thru
In the cold
while the flowers
were blooming
bright blue
Clear skies and
coming snow
Y'a know, I only
wish the best,
you know
From the yellow butter
and almost white
jonquil's bloom

Dreaming
Yeah! ?
Yeah! ?
Yea!
I follow a dream
Down the alley's end
Where I dare not
even do I scream
Always:
Was the living
That was such a sin
And when I wasn't
Does it come unto an end
Dreaming was easy
Just like breathing all again
All that one has to do is
Open up and let it in
