Peaceable

Solomon was peaceable
He did speak in ancient verse
Reaching out to the universe
Not afraid to learn new words
For Yours Amen only comes today in my pen
Sufficient for the day is its own
Trouble, O the cure for care
Do you worry about your life
Don't be as a Benedict Arnold
So a preacher writes a sermon about it
Some people see it from the beginning
Pedantic and dogmatic
It's another beautiful day to say
I have not gone astray
I'll know what to do
When the time comes into view
Come the ninth hour
See, this is new...






Creation In Progress

Of tranquil mirth
Of serenity and rebirth
For what it's all worth
And what I am now
I can't quite see
Vision forgets
What is real on the city streets
Because what I am now is just me
In a place called then and there
All for crushed pizza at Sabarro
Chasing the reason
She melts her cheese
Only strength can do justice
Creation in progress
A new moon
Let me make things kind and rational
To see what's on my mind
A love of a higher kind
Like a tree at the rate of a steady breeze
Two ways contrasted
Time for that Irish Spring....






At Breeze's Rate

Downtown sleeping behind the wheel
On the boulevard a smile to cover up the frown
Where all things heal in strife and in peace
I pray and not cease
You will know them by their fruits
For middle ground in an Allman Brothers writing session
No matter how hard I run
The devil gets in my way
And the rain descended and floods came
And Jesus again ascended
At a new beginning or another line skew
In the new you
We are of the few
Therefore by their fruits you know them
O, do we gather figs from thistles?
