Going on and on
about the good life in the future
going on and on
about how you wish we lived
and how things will be better tomorrow
it gets old
it’s time to accept today
TODAY I say
time to hang on to all the todays
you can
Tea and Cookies
A tin of cookies
and a cup of tea
for breakfast
A swig of whiskey
some good music
and a friend on a
late friday evening
it’s these things
that make life feel
great
It’s these things
that make me happy

Dream
There he was
flipping through my dreams with
a hug that felt as real as tomorrow and
a house that felt as familiar as a
Deja Vu

Chimes
The wind plays the chimes
our hearts play to our minds
and our minds to the world we
wish to see
so squeeze your eyes tight
and think of all the great things
you wish to see
so that we can come to a place
where everyone is free to live
their dreams of better days
with health and a good
challenge to face

Life Tip
Grab your morning favorite
sit by the window
and just be
Puppy Dog Eyes
Those eyes will lie
they’ll look at you and say
I’m the cutest dog in the world
and I’m starving
look at these skinny legs
I need the food you’re eating
Some of you are strong enough to say no
Some of you are not.
Give It Away
Give the world what you need
to sing your song
It may take time to figure out what you need
It may take time to accept what you need
but give it away anyways

Listen for the Music
Let the beat in your heart
lift you to the skies
The Home Love
Home is where the ones I’ve hugged
reach for me while I try write
Home is the place we lay our heads
and leave our worries outside
Home is chaos turned to peace from
lessons learned and tears shed
Home is refuge and where we build our strength
to prepare us for the life ahead

Red Headed Lover and Ice Cream
The red headed woman
who swallows men like air
the one with gauze
and the deep entwined stare
is in my roots
I lift my chin
then my shoulders
I lift my heart
and then my mind
but at the end of the day
make fancy salads with cheese
and nuts,
binge watch movies
while I slurp up Ramen noodles,
and top it all off with ice cream
covered cookie dough
