Service
11-14-10


Serving someone
Should be a joy and not just a task
Let us embark upon this openly
Without a veil or a mask
Yet to master the art of deep breathing
Thinking of nothing but the sound of my exhalation
Going through the motions of emptying my ashtray
Into my trash can
You tell me to get a life
But I'm not that kind of man
You say that I'm wasting my time
Yet my philosophy is that
There is no such thing...
























Poetic Peanuts
11-14-10


Poetry ought to be something to enjoy
For what it is
I ought not make rules of rhyme
Rhythm, meter or even quantity
In an assembly where I ought to hold my tongue
And just listen to the music
A lady friend said that I'm the only one
That can save myself
And I'm still trying to figure out what this means
So I stepped out my east gate
To feed stale peanuts to some luck squirrels
Only one ate what I tossed on the sidewalk
But it was well worth it...
















To train the Ear
11-14-10


Meat offered to idols
Can be symbolic of rock and roll
Take heed not to make a stumblingblock
In the path of those who are weak
I choose to jam out alone
To tune into the various parts of the song
Rough and adhesive
As noise can be a beauty
When you learn how to listen
Over a period of years of refinement
This is all for you and me
When we see nothing wrong with it...








Latest Morsel
11-24-10


Focusing on who God is
And not at the problem at hand
Where being at peace is conducive
For one to understand
So I had my cream of wheat
And realized I needed brown sugar
I also needed glass cleaner
Money is tight due to excessive pizza deliveries
Sometimes we would rather not know what is wrong
And sleep at night as if all is well
And day by day we take our heaven with our hell...








Time Again To Meditate
11-14-10


We learn more and more
As we grow to commune with our Creator
And it is as a meteorite that falls
And makes an unusually colossal crater
Soon time to take a break to breath in deep
And seek what is within
Not a taboo
But a key to me and you
And the identity of one
Who still seeks the truth
As I see fit to seize the day
While my skies are still blue...








Stirring Up The Sugar
11-24-10


My coffee acidic
Is capable to disintegrate the hate
And I owe it all to whom is terrible and great
And on another idle Sunday afternoon
I take in intricate melodies
That stir up the sugar in my mind
And by my faith I rise from a restless rest
I still attempt to pass an hour or two
Sleep is hard to come by
When I ought not be there
So instead I step out
On one of the final warm days of the season
It's going to get cold
So I ought to just get used to it....








It Needs To Happen
11-14-10


Pride will keep you from seeing what is wrong
As humility will bring you to confession
Where a blunder will lead you to the writing of this song
As we know that we cannot judge by our first impression
Taking the peace of mind and Spirit for granted
Knowing it needs to happen sooner or later
Don't mean to be pessimistic
I'm only being realistic
To tell a story about what happened to me on that day....
