Sun-Drunk Cicada Song
The golden haze of summer, thick and slow, Where time dissolves like honey in warm tea, And fireflies ignite a gentle glow. The air, a velvet cloak, starts to flow free, Through sun warmed fields, a gentle choir, Where time dissolves like honey in warm tea, A drowsy heat, where colors grow like fire, Like painted dreams, upon a canvas clear, Through sun...

O’er gentle sunrise, tender peace abides Light risks striking shadows of darkest night Moon and stars flow, cling to the sky as guides Glowing on wings, beyond the clouds of white Birds and angels sing as the silence cries Light risks striking shadows of darkest night His still voice from heaven stirs hearts so wise For those who know His beauty lives...

I hold three magic rocks, in my hand Rolling them over and over and over Leaving this reality behind, far behind ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crafty moon sends her light, gently nuzzling Rustling in the winds, songs of peace and praise Endless dreams swaying, dancing, in full swing Fairytale wishes fade as starlight prays Where love sought her kiss, beneath angel’s wings Rustling in the winds, songs...

Sinking To The Bottom
The tide cannot go on dark on my feet— in winter you move but 'specially move, but from within its grave, your bracing cease, this time of year where a fog I look through, in the sea that passed your own footprints by— in winter you move but 'specially move with a current that to my living cries like a wild channel,...

Bullies Unrestrained, belligerent bullies abound, In schools, institutions, and in businesses Who create ruckuses that serve no purpose, But to show passionless feelings of meanness, Filled with vindictiveness, jealousy, and spite, In schools and institutions and in businesses. Indifferent to others, they harass and fight Irresponsible for the scars they impart Through their vindictiveness, jealousy, and spite, Employing words and actions to poison hearts And disrupt...

Spring rolls into the valleys and hills Leaving mountains with dots of white snow The warm breeze chases away the chills Robin bounce along to cawing crow It's a wildlife dance to welcome spring Leaving mountains with dots of white snow The wind chimes sway in air as they sing Anticipation, no wonder why It's a wildlife dance to welcome spring Puffy, white clouds...
