ALL THE SONGS - with audio

audio link

All the songs in the willful wind
Belong to Him Who created them
All the songs in the willful wind
Belong to him who lets them in

Melodies that play within

Hearts of loving kindness bring

Ringing joyful dances begin
Fiery storms raining precious gems

CAW CAW MR. CROW - with audio

audio link

Caw Caw Mr. Crow
Looking for a bit of cherry,
Perhaps some bread-crust,
Special sun-arrayed foil,
Or a peanut shell
For tender morsels
Sumptuous delicacies,
And shiny relics
Such as these
You always come
In evening dress,
Black Coat and tails
Day or Night
Such stately manner
How very proper
You are sir
Caw Caw Mr. Crow
Caw Caw!

Peggy - with audio

Peggy Peggy Peggy
Lovely shining Peggy
Dancing for donuts
Smiling for reggae
Turning and twisting
Sunny and smiling
To fun just insisting
Giggly, sweet, beguiling
Jumping with bounce
I love you pretty Peggy
Every little ounce

Social Media - with audio

audio link

I cannot dwell in the perfectly clear
Rather, more like the generally near
Of faded colors and blurry lines
Reverberations of my mind

Though my eyes be weak
And my hand be lame
A kind word yet bespeak
Drop a coin just the same

My cup is empty of glory
You have all the pencils
So tell me a story
A crumb from your stencil

Please throw me a pun
Out the window of your high tower
Shoot the bullets from your gun
I have need of your super power

Please forget the superficial love
In the haunts of electrostatic-pedia
For virtual is the blood
And so cold the ethereal flood

Of magnetic social media

Slipping Sands - with audio

audio link

When slipping sands all turn to stone
When all there is to know is known
By reason that we may not cherish
All in this world will perish
No stone or ground left unturned
Every life, and every home
With crackling trumpet sound
The mighty heavens shall abound
Messiah is come in Glory!

Rolled Forth in Peace - with audio

audio link

The notes
Of the rock-band
Were frayed
And clashed
Until they shook
My whole being
In seeming
Reminiscence
Of the earthquake
Earlier that day
But all the while
My heart
Like many waters
Of the oceans
Rolled forth
In peace


Potatoes and Eggs - with audio

audio link


Potatoes and eggs (big breath in)
Sniffin in a whiff
Breathin in the goodness
Set about my business
Havin more than I shoulda
With my brother as my witness
Sour cream and muffin
One banana, orange juice
Down I am stuffing
Mmmmmm, mmmmm!
Yummy, yummy!
I just wanna say
Thank you mummy!

Wrecking Ball - with audio

audio link

I've hurt someone
Now like a wrecking ball inside me
Again and again each memory
Of the people that I've hurt
Slams and hollows this one out
Like an old abandoned building

What a conceited ass
I have become
My hands reach out
All they find is rubble
My nostrils fill with smoke and dust
Ashes and sulfur are my accusers

Tears lay choking and thrashing
Somewhere deep within
Damn the cold stillness
In the granite quarry
Of a pride cramped belly


A balloon filled with putrid air
A glove with no hand to take it
A cloud without rain

As my silence groans
In the growing darkness

Of empty words and
Broken promises 
Trampled love and
Shattered relationships 
Echos, of what was 
And what might have been.

November Saturday - with audio

audio link

Looking at the windowsill
Candles fluttering warm light
There is great pleasure being inside
Thinking lazy thoughts
On this November Saturday
These rich and drifting moments
Are a gift from on high.

Trust in love
Love in trust
God is love
Give to love
Love to give
Love and live
There is peace in love
A gentle urging to kindness
