LYRICS
What is your sign
What is mine
Peace sign, thumbs-up and smile for a while
(Yes, signs of happiness)

Universally fine
Always a sweet treat
Ripe on the vine
Most precious is time

What is your sign
What is mine
Singing and dancing
Sharing the wine
(Spank it! Crank it!)

A song about a lady giving me the thumbs-up and a big smile while I was writing a song about adding the 13th zodiac sign “Ophiuchus”.

According to NASA, the Earth’s axis has changed over the 3,000 years since the zodiac was invented. As a result, the constellations over which the sun appears to move over have shifted.

NASA stated, “But even according to the Babylonians’ own ancient stories, there were 13 constellations in the zodiac.”

The 13th constellation is Ophiuchus.

Ophiuchus (⛎) (/ɒfiˈjuːkəs/) has sometimes been used in sidereal astrology as a thirteenth sign in addition to the twelve signs of the tropical Zodiac, because the eponymous constellation Ophiuchus (Greek: Ὀφιοῦχος “Serpent-bearer”) as defined by the 1930 IAU constellation boundaries is situated behind the sun from November 30 to December 18. — Wikipedia

At the speed of light
The rays
Raise to a light year
In a mere

At the speed of light

At the speed of light
We can break through the darkness of night
One light year away
In 365 and 1/4 of a day

At the speed of light

bookmark_borderHey!

LYRICS
The warmth that came from within your skin
I love to take it in
Recollect your breath upon my neck
Feeling fine your body to mine

I close my eyes
And realize
A moment’s dream
Before good-byes
Compromise
The dream’s scene
The dream’s seen

Seize the day
In every way
Whistle your tune
Seize the day
In every way
Such good fortune
To hear you say
Hey! xoxo <3

LYRICS
Monkey bars and skin the cat
Still feeling like kids… imagine that
Sex and hugs and rock n’ roll
No never, never ever gonna really grow ‘ole
Sure the years will take their toll
But, we ain’t really ever growin’ ‘ole

Sometimes he plays and sometimes he sings
If you cut him in half, you can count his rings
There’s many more years than what it seems
Really enjoys finding what life means
Finding “the girl” can be a fountain of youth
A day at the fair in the kissing booth

LYRICS
As leaves start to fall
It makes me recall
Both the old and new
Come flowing through (you do)

It’s a gift. It’s a present
Presenting my life story
From the past to the present
A flash inventory (your glory)

Started as a child
Took me quite a while
To garner our first kiss
Thank God! I didn’t miss this

The night you snuggled close
Sure could use another dose
Get intimate for a bit
Oh Lord! May it never quit

LYRICS
Duel black holes orbiting
Behavior that is fitting
Einstein wasn’t kidding
Mighty brave…
Surfing a gravitational wave

It will begin
To pull you in
Spacetime has-been

Sucking in light
Black as the night
Density’s might

“A binary black hole (BBH) is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other.”

“Scientists announced that they have once again detected ripples in space and time from two black holes colliding far away in the universe.” The discovery comes just months after the first-ever detection of such “gravitational waves.”

LYRICS
May my soul soar
Above the Labyrinth’s floor
Flying high above
Spying the tunnel of love

Swoop down from above
Into the tunnel of love

With a bird’s-eye view
Can see exactly what to do
Flying high above
Spotting the tunnel of love

Never tire of lifting the spirit higher

From the sole soul
To the dynamic dual
Like hand in glove
Partners in love

LYRICS
Amiss
Ajar
The happiness bazaar
A kiss
Not far
Happiness is bizarre

Takin’ you in
Again and again
Puttin’ me out
Without doubt
When did we really begin?

The day I met you I was four
Couldn’t imagine any more
A half century to endure
Until the chance to adore

Forever gone is before
Penetrating to the core
Facts are facts… can’t ignore
You and I forevermore

As soon as I get there
It’s time to go
Wouldn’t ha know
(Can’t go slow)
Can never go slow

Is the time slippage increasing in flow

Grains in the hourglass falling fast into past

Ya know the wind does blow
Knocks me down
Rock n’ rolls me all over the ground

With time passed moving by so fast
Don’t know how long I’ll last

LYRICS
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Watching the man-made whether vain
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Does a sane human remain?

Wondering if I can get into the I
Wondering if the eye can get into I

Riding on the edge of a hurricane
No question whether man is vain
Riding on the edge of a hurricane

Whichever way the wind blows
Weathervane
Whether vain
You know… whichever way the wind blows

LYRICS
Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart

Just have to beat stronger
For a little longer
Love reign over me
Now ’til eternity

Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart

What do you say
We help it on its way
To the beat we’ll play
Until we reach the day

Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart

As I listen to the pulse of the rhythm
Falling, falling, falling… I am
A religious experience… sung as a hymn
Falling in love… I am
Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart

LYRICS
A little ant said, “Look at me.
I can be what I want to be.
Think positively.”
The little ant said to me
Thinking positively

Covered his head with a piece of bread
Moving ahead he turned and said
“Do the mind over matter vibration splatter.
Then, share your essence through your presence.”
Thinking positively
Be what I can be

I’ll never forget as he disappeared into the sunset
With a wave and a wink, he made me think
When he said, “Son, you can be like me.”
Be what you want to be
Thinking positively

Set yourself free
To eternity

Once in a lifetime
I’m fortunate

To forget
Any care you share

Before the final sunset
We get…
To see the light

Once in a lifetime chance
Gonna give it a second glance
Embrace romance

Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

LYRICS
Goddess Venus,
Please connect us
A heart too far apart
Are our hearts torn to parts

Fluttering like a butterfly
Catch a drift soaring high
Unwavering am I
Cross my heart an hope to die

Connecting is ever stranger
No longer is longing longer
Pounding forever stronger
Coming together together

Intertwine with the divine
Alive and doing fine
Letting the love shine
Crossing the finishing line
