LYRICS
Irony butterfly
In flight of blue sky
I wonder why
The blight didn’t die?
None too soon
From cocoon
Metamorphosized
Feel realized
Float like a butterfly
Sting life — a be
Beauty
Reflecting light
I see
Irony butterfly
In flight of blue sky
Beauty out of pity
Is to deity
(Oh, my God!)

bookmark_borderWe’re Blur

LYRICS
What if it all were
Just a blur
A mere smear
In the atmosphere
Music as fabric
For the tapestry
Of said,
Space-time continuum
I see through to you
As we weave
The tapestry
Us wed
With you I am
Soul’s blood bled
Said,
Space-time continuum
Void of vacuum
I am

bookmark_borderWhence Do You Hail?

LYRICS
Far, far away
Far, far a way
From whence I hail?
An ancient and dusty tale / trail
Rather reveal
What’s in store
Reveal the deal
If there’s more
From whence I hail
… too much detail
I’ve come to know
“Come to the show”
Try to survive
To be alive
You choose your path
Wrath… or baptismal bath
You choose destiny
For your mortality
Your relevancy
In eternity
Far, far away
Far, far a way

LYRICS
This little fish
In the school…
… is…
(Little fish don’t be a fool)
Fishes
This fish is
Swimming in the sea
… of love
Tranquility
Sublimely
(I’m me)
Undertow
From the rainbow
Above
In the undertow
To know
This little fish…
… is.

bookmark_borderWherefore Art Thou

LYRICS
Sloppy or nearly
Close to perfection
Art not thou art?
Our creation
Wherefore art thou, art
Be you the tile in style
The style in the tile
… the missing peace
Hand still grease pencil
Trace
… the missing place
Still, hand, still
Release
… the missing piece
Cut to the groove
Remove
The missing piece
Perfect fit
Is it
Sloppy or nearly art
… isn’t this where we’d start?

LYRICS
Adding fuel to the fire
Energy transformed
(You’re getting warm)
To make time transpire
To awake time… transpire
How much “would”
Would a dumb-#uck chuck
If a dumb-chuck could
How much “would”
Would a would-chuck chuck
How much fire will transpire
See the reality of the energy
Burn in front of me
And yes it does reside
Inside
Of me

LYRICS
When there was
“Could have been”
Then,
There was when
Now, only
If and can be
From see to shining see
Out from under
The overlord
Just short
Of overboard
Shy to the sky
Out from under
The shadow
No more know knowledgology no
Now, only
If’s and can be’s
Can my mind’s-eye foresee
Come to be

Peace on Earth. Goodwill toward men.
Amen.

bookmark_borderWatch Your Fingers

LYRICS
Still the question lingers
Should I watch my fingers?
After all,
What about “keep your eye on the ball”?
Watch you might poke an eye out?
What are you talking about
I’m just having some fun
(When all’s said and done)

Let’s hear you cry “live and let die”
After all,
So what if you fall?
You might poke your “I” out, kid
Big deal… so what if I did?
When all is said and done
… just having a little fun

LYRICS
Thinking good and thinking plenty
Everybody’s ready
To cease the battle for peace
Everybody’s release

Thinking good and I’m thinking plenty
Everybody’s ready
Cease the war to enforce peace
Everybody’s release

Everybody’s been getting ready
Increase in pressure is steady
Everybody’s been getting ready
Dead on course and holding steady

We share this same ship
Shipshape or deep shit
Hitchhikers on rock #3
Blue due to sky and sea
Hurling through time and space
Wondering who stays in place

LYRICS
It’s a little slippery
A fine line
Between (the seen/scene)
Myself, I and me
Slippery
I see
On the back of an envelope
Slope
Slippery slope
As easy
As A + B
Double dared… squared
E = em… I see
E = mc2
Now, I see
Time/space continuum reality
Now, on the curve
Too late to survive?
The chaos within us
Slippery… I see

LYRICS
Raise your cup
Joy’s what’s up
Can you hear it
In the spirit
Can you feel it?

The shepherds herd it
And they all came ’round
The angels heard it
And they all came down

Wisemen foresaw it
So they all came to town
The heaven’s saw it
So they all shined down

Joseph and Mary
Bore more than just Merry
Giving birth
To Peace On Earth

LYRICS
No castle walls nor cannon balls
Invade the space
Of freedom’s place
No king reigns over (Be the lover)
Freedom rains down (On our town)
Discover minds blown (Seeds sown)

The last is first (Quenched thirst)
Meek inherit the Earth (New birth)
In the eyes of skies
The glorious “why’s”
Absorb the wise

LYRICS
Is this really what we’re talking about
So, if, and or but…
What about about?
If we should be
If we would be
If we could be
Talking about… “about”?
Is that what we’re really talking about?
Did I get lost?
Am I at a loss?
Is this what we discuss? Thus…
Or am I at a loss, dazed and confused
Brain abused?
All this time I thought it was obvious
For the both of us
