I like to dip deep into the emptiest of well
to find ( maybe)  some iconoclastic myth to dispel
and pull a rabbit from
an empty hat
Or the possibility of a Tyrannosaurus Rex...
... if the game has gone flat
wrecks if the game is run-flat then I may Circle back
to pull a mr. Wizard
with a dribble this and drabble that
Or then again I may just resist
any this and that with error again I might resist
there are no real rules
to each moment in time
no submarine runways  left off
in
with overdrive so...
If we are lucky enough to end up having a comfortable room be it a hole in the ground or a big old oak tree
  if we're lucky with
the Comforts of home
thats what it is what it may be
  a hole in the ground or up some tall oak tree
we are only as good as
we let ourselves be
so do not think I won't notice if you would seek to
look down on me
because I will smile back
as I  look up at you ..
and say oh no mr. Wizard whatever have we done
to come
to such a position as this position? Just lucky I guess!!

How dare you
speak of grace
in the face ...of
another killing by race
These are not
accidental...
incidental...they are incramentatal!!

Time may dog
The steps we take
And we often repeat
The mistakes we make
Where the light we seek
Will create the shadow.     we fear
That is constantly behind us
Unless  we  realize
That we connect at ground level
Keeping us anchored
Keeping us here
Not flung off in space
Like some errant trapeze
Just might

It should bolster our hope
Not leave us floundering lost
Like a ship at sea
With no land in sight
But we are also not a tree
Anchored by roots
We are the very beings
That create the light
Where our reality and shadows meet
We are the Earth .

Got a hole in my head where dreams escape
I tried Patching it up with two sided tape...
.......but i got stuck
on the outside.

    Pull myself loose
I started  Falling through the air
That's Okay I didn't care....   Because I.... Just learned to fly
  All it really took...was
Simply letting go
failure is not failure
as long as you know,
that you tried your best

That first time..for anything
Can never be repeated
Not with that ..same impact
So imagine her surprise by the way
She was greeted
Hello beautiful
I said to her
Dont I know you
From the pick-up truck window
Rolling past her
walking faster
As she entered  
the  driveway he had departed
just a moment ago.
Workmen she muttered
Before allowing a smile
But he was handsome..sort of
As she paused now he was long gone
To pluck a wayward dandelion
Taking up residency on her front lawn
Who do you think YOU are ?
She asked the flower in her hand
I'm running late ,she heard in reply
circled round to say love ya and ....beep beep
She smiled at the ....
...the car.
.

the cucumber was in a pickle
juiced up on vinegar and salt
didn't know what to do
or who it was at fault
he had to squash all measure
from rind to the tiniest seed  
until someone bows to the pressure
and provides the cabbage they need
lettuce all be grapeful
that all is not lost
for  tomato is so magical
especially when those
mashed up are like 2 peas in a pod
and the roots run deep and wide
in the newly turned leaf and sod

I cached the shadow in the darkest night
and stand pale as pale in the brightest light
I fall down in the cracks of the sand
I ask for nothing in the face of your demand
That I betray myself for nothing ...insteàd
Of all that I value inside my head
I can't replace what someone else took
And I'll never be able to find it no matter how hard I look
I could willingly and easily let you drag me down
Let you wrap me up and rags and treat me like a clown
Without false pride I wouldn't fall too far
I wouldn't carry any wounds like a jagged scar
Nor stoop from the overbearing weight and let it break my stride
Right now I feel i need to stand behind you
Walk along right beside you and do what I need to do
To stand up for you ...
try to find some way to help restore you ....
....to...
Whoever you decide you need to be
Stand guard outside the door
the door that allowed you to disappear within
Pay no over budget price
it might cost
to point out ... Where or why you decided to hide
Away from The whole world at Large
Until then I'll be standing here
Until you are -once again- ready to take charge .
