I’d say
It’s not that far away
Long as
I don’t go astray
… not that far away
On our way
Supper’s Ready
Blessed day
Hold n’ steady
It’s not that far away
It’s not that far away
Long as
I don’t go astray
… not that far away

Have you ever taken
The Crest Test?
Used your body
As a soul tool
And, surfed to the sure?
Water pounds
The less out of you
No grounds
For support
Your sole
The ride
Your soul
The tide
Washes you
And, Her
You

Fill my hourglass
With the sands of time
As the years pass
The sand still lasts
From shore to sure
Every sandy beach
Extend the reach
Of the love allure

There’s only one place I know
Where the land is green
And, the sky is blue
There’s only one place I know
With a menagerie scene
And, love for you
Pour the Milky Way
It’s not that far…
Third house from our star
We call Her
Home Sweet Home
Menagerie
Where people roam
Home Sweet Home
Humbleness
Modestly, I gotta say
Er, a…
A beautiful place
To breed our race

Her Graciousness

The Rollover
C / F / Am
Let’s go!
While tomorrow turns to yesterday
Where will you be
When it turns anti-climatic
Where will you be
For the last act
Where will you be
For the curtain call
Where will you be
When the credits scroll
Do you care to be here at all?
How do you think they will get here
Do you think they will fall from the sky
How do you think they will get here
Do you think they will rise from the dust
Will we try
We must
Will we try
We must
Come on
Join the party
Come on
Join the show
Come on
Let’s go

Makin’ the *Dream On* come true

G walkdown to C
If we want to stop this from happening
We better wake up
Better wake-up
It would appear the edge is near
At the precipice is us
[secret message here]
Stop the slumber
Start to wonder
Gotta wake-up
Does anybody know what time it is?
I’d really like to go to school today
Please do NOT hit the snooze switch!

C (and variations, thereof)
I had a vision of some fissures… and geysers…
Holy drinks
Water
The fountains
Spout
The water
Out
From the dirt
An alert
Will the rising sea level cause unusual events?
I mean if the water rises in such a fashion that Mother Nature will be fracking the natural gas, wouldn’t that be a bad thing? Should we get the gas out now?

bookmark_borderFlower Child Sprouts
Inspired by the moonflower seeds that sprouted into the sun… growing more tasty than alfalfa, bean or others.
Written sittin’ on the wall at the corners of Market and High streets in downtown West Chester… while sittin’ next to some sprouts… and before ya knew it, they were sprouting everywhere. A beautiful thing — a flower child patch sprouting.
Quarter fairy, barely
The heat is no match for a sprout
No doubt
Ya play it funked up blues

Have you heard the news report
We’re down to the last resort

Welcome to the great last resort
It’s not as great
As it use to be
You see

Is not (is not)
Beside

I’ve got some friends
I’d like you to know
So, let’s get up…
Get up and go
These are the kind of people
Though they don’t congregate
Under a steeple
They help the light shine
The light shine
Shine on and on and on
These people I call friends
Most of them are true
Until the end
Though you know
How things can go
A friend can turn
Into foe
Just so you know
Let the light shine
As far as I know
These are the people
That you want to know
The kind-of friend
You want to the bitter end
Let the light shine on and on and on
So, if you’re not too busy
If you’re not feeling over worked
If you won’t be a complete idiot jerk
I’ll show to some good, good friends
You can be a good, good friend
To the bitter, bitter end
It’s the least I can do
Now that I know you
If it seems you’re day isn’t quite fulfilling
How’s this for gelling
These friends can show ya how to be groovin’
When you get together
It’s like heaven
It’s not a lesson in forgiving
It’s more about believing
In one another
Like sister and brother
Like mother or father
Like son or daughter
