Happy new year!!

And winter is calling

The sky is awake

And winter is calling

It’s icy tendrils

Coursing through everything

The sky is awake

And winter is calling

The fields have been cropped

The buns are in the oven

And there’s a fire in the place

The sky is awake

And winter is calling

The trees are bare

The leaves have fallen

The sky is awake

And winter is calling

I am getting later in the day when I have time to post here at my blog...Happy New Year to you all out there in blogger land. I took a nap today so I can stay up till the crack of midnight. New Years has always been one of my favorite times. I remember as a child thinking it was so cool that I would get to stay up as late as I wanted and at midnight light off a few fireworks then bang pots and pans. now as an adult I look forward to having a new year................

greener pastures

That ship

That ship has sailed

So they say

The grass is always greener

On the other side

If that is the case

You can never reach

The greener side because

The fence is just too damned high

That ship has sailed

So they say

But they don’t say where it has

Sailed to

Has it sailed to greener pastures?

If so it may just be a lawn boat

Can you imagine that

A lawn boat floating on greener grass

I can I guess you just need to have

A good imagination

This was actually supposed to post yesterday, but I guess I didn't hit post...oh well I was trying and it can post today just as easily as yesterday. My check in goes as follows: 1) I hurt my back   2) went to the Dr's    3) not much they can do for it but pain meds and muscle relaxers. I have to see my primary Dr. to see if I need a MRI. Wish me luck!

Waves

Alabaster waves of light

Cascade through your aura

Bending this way and that

As if through a prism

Rainbows dance around your head

Moth like they flutter

So delicate a dance

Accentuating your beauty

What a tenuous thing
That nimbus surrounding you

But your beauty is strong

Enough to carry those

Alabaster waves of light

Through and over and in

Your essence of self
Pink

Sunday

Clarion call

We take all sorts around here

Not one for the usual normally

We like um twisted sideways

The more sideways you are

The more credibility you have

So with this clarion call you need

But to answer before time runs out

We are generous to those that qualify

But hard on those less qualified

You’ll see we need and want you around

You will find your place among us

Finding it a pleasant experience or two

But not to discourage you before you

Take that step with no hope of return

For we are a lifetime fraternity and we deal

Deserters with a very heavy hand

I dont feel much like writing today, Im tired, so tired...life is a trippy thing I still have to produce even when I am exausted. hope you like

but the sea

A bit o elbow grease

Put your caps on

And look lively

This tub won’t sail

Er self

Look lively I said

And I meant it

Cappin’ll be watching

And I’ll be damned if

You misrepresent me

Or this ship

Put your backs to it boys

That’s it, bit o elbow grease

To smooth the way

That’s it boys

No ease till port

But who needs ease

We got the sea

With the wind to our backs

And the sun to our front

What more can a man want for

But the sea
