Dream

 


Your bed is calling 

Can you hear it

Your bed is calling 

Will you answer 


Adventure awaits

It's only a dream away

Swashbuckling pirates 

The world to save

Finding a lost mysterious land

Your imagination is the only limit


Your bed is calling 

Can you hear it

Your bed is calling 

Will you answer 

Music Therapy

 


Music is her life

From an early age her ability with the guitar showed

She played to calm the raging storm within her

She also used her music

To help others going through their own storms

Music was therapy 

Music is therapy 

Music always will be therapy 

Strayed

 


Strayed from the pack

Went out on my own

The path will not be easy 

Many things will try to get in my way

However the rewards will be worth it

So come what may

Rain fall

 


Let the rain fall

Wash me clean

From all of life's impurities 


Shower from Heaven 

Cleans my soul

Fix my broken pieces 

Make me whole

Piano play

 


The hands glide over the piano with ease
A melodious sound
Musical notes come to life
Jumping from the paper they had been written on
To dance with the fingers of the Pianist

Ocean view

 


Step out on the balcony 

The ocean waves roll in

A beautiful sight

Seagulls fly by


Step out on the balcony 

The salty smell in the air

The sound of distant ships


Fall

 


The cooler air

The colors of nature 

Like a paintbrush on canvas 

Hayride 

Bonfire

Smores 


Halloween 

Spooky fun

kids dressed up in costume 

candy to grab


Fall

Food

Comfort 

Family 


Mystery

 


She is a mystery 

She is timeless 

For She has existed since before time began 

Always on the shape of a female 

Though she has taken other forms when needed

The mysteries of the universe  are known to her

Siblings

 


Brother 

Sister 

Through thick and thin

Love each other no matter what


Yes they fight

Yes they argue

However 

They have each other's back


No matter what

If one of them is in need

The other will be there

No questions asked

Head storm

 


Thunderstorm in my head

Lightening flashes of pain

Headache season is upon me

The More you know

 


The more you know

The more powerful you become

Knowledge is power


The power to transform the world

with greater advances in medicine and technology

Advances in day to day living and transport

Advances in how we communicate with ourselves and those around us


The more you know

The more you can shape the world 

Make it better


The more you know

The better you understand the world

To better contribute to it

Maze


 


 Let's go in the maze they said

It will be fun they said

Now I'm separated from my family

lost in this thing

For who knows how long


It started out fun

I'll admit to that

Then we lost track of each other

Among the twist and turns

Dead ends and round-abouts


Now we're all lost from each other

Tired, hungry. and just want out

To rejoin with our family

Go home


Let's go in the maze they said

It will be fun they said


Evening

 


Evening time

Family time

A long hard day put to rest

Gather round the fire

Relax

Solve a mystery

 


Let's solve a mystery

Piece together the clues 

like a jigsaw puzzle


Let's solve a mystery

Catch the crooks

Send them to jail

Mystery solved

Justice Prevailed

One fine day

 


One fine day

The woods I did walk

Over streams, babbling Brooks, and leaf covered floor

Wild animals could be seen

At a distance 

Deer, bear, fox, and much more

Carnival

 


Lights 

Music

Games

Rides

Food

The Carnival is back in town


Almost a magical feeling of youthfulness 

No matter your age

Excitement loom everywhere

The smell and aromas from the food

The game "Barkers" trying to draw you toward their booths

Take a hike

 


Take a hike

Get out and see the world around you

Deep valleys 

Dense,  lush forests

High mountain tops

Just to name a few


Not to leave out the animals 

Bears

Maintain lions and goats

Snakes of all kinds

Hundreds of birds


Take a hike

Get out and see the world around you

Rivers running free

Fish jumping in the lake

Trees

Shrubs

Mushrooms 


There is more, much more to explore 

So get out

Get out now

Into the great outdoors

Dance

 


Dance

Let lose with joy

Dance

The rhythmic movement of the body and soul

For the sake of Humanity

 


Stop the hatred

Stop the pain

We are all one people

Upon this Earthly plain


Yes, we from different parts of the world

But we are all part of the same human race

We can get along

We need to get along

For the sake of Humanity as a whole

Singing

 


I sing because it makes me happy 

I sing because it makes me feel free

Free to live

Free to be


Music runs through me 

Like a mighty river it flows

Ever since I was a small child 

I could feel the tug of music

The forming of notes and chords


Even as a child

A voice was building 

And one day 

I let that voice be heard


Clear

Sweet

Melodious 

Yes one day I let that voice be heard

And I haven't stopped singing since

Love note

 


A love note 

A sign of affection 

A handwritten declaration of one's feelings for another

A passionate showing of the hearts true desire

Road trip

 


Going on a road trip

Oh the sights we shall see

Fromm the snowy mountain tops

To the lowest of valleys


Let's go on a road trip

The adventure calls

No matter the weather

We shall see it all


Big cities

Small towns

And everything in between

National parks

State parks

Roadside attractions

Just to name a few

Deal with the Devil

 


A deal with the Devil

The handshake from Hell

The deal done

The price my soul


Awesome guitar playing abilities 

For the price of my soul when I die

But until then

Fame and fortune are on my made


I'll worry about the consequences 

When That time comes

But for now

Let's have some fun

Time

 


Tic

Tic

Tic

the fleeting moments

the rhythmic pulse of the Earth


Time starts

Time moves on

Time is up


One day Time will be no more

Have you truly lived it

Every moment 

Every hour

Every day

Time is running out

Don't wait


The sands in the hourglass of Time

Will soon stop

Life will cease to exist 


Tic

Tic

Tic

the fleeting moments

the rhythmic pulse of the Earth

Weed with Bigfoot

 Sang to the tune of "Weed with Willie" By Toby Keith 


I'll never smoke weed with Bigfoot again

The party's all over 

He's disappeared once again

No one believes me

But I swear it's true my friend 

I'll never smoke weed with Bigfoot again

Let the Show Begin

 


The show is about to start

Theater lights dime

Spotlights come on

As the group takes the stage

The spotlights spin around the room

Changing color as the do


The opening notes to the first song

The chord

The guitar rift

The drum beat


The excitement of the crowd

The cheers

The dancing

The screaming


The show has just started

This will be a wild ride

The Park

 


At the park

Cool spring day

River behind me can be heard

Birds sing in the trees

Ducks on the pond

Walking paths for people to use

Biking paths as well

The Bull

 


Go ahead farmer try it

You think you cattle prod scares me

I'll still run you down and hook you with my horns


Go ahead farmer

I am the bull from Hell

The Bull that can't be tamed

Wild and free and always will be


Go ahead try your best

I will run over you time and time again

Hook you with my horns and toss you are


Go ahead farmer

If you dare

Halloween is coming

 


Put on your scariest costume 

Grab your buckets or bag

Halloween is coming 

There is cany to be had


Parents get your candy ready

The little ones will soon be there

To give you a Halloween scare


Halloween is coming 

Are you prepared 

Peace

 


Peace

Love

Joy

Music


The groove of mother earth

Brothers and sisters are we

It matters not our background

It matters not the color of or skin

Join together in peace and harmony


Peace

Love

Joy

Music

Stop

 

Stop the madness

Stop the insanity

Bring back peace and love

Togetherness and brotherhood


Stop the abuse of power

Stand up against big business and monopolies

Not giving the mom and pop stores a fair chance

Burning bridges

 


When a relationship ends

I burn the bridge 

To not look back again 

When a business deal goes sour

I burn that bridge with power


Always move forward

Always move on

If you don't 

The world will leave you behind


Yes there is time to greave 

Yes there is a time to cry

I'm not heartless you know

OZ breakdown

 


Dorothy it's been so long since you've been around

The land of OZ is breaking down

A foggy mist of gloom

Now hangs in the air

The yellow brick road 

Once bright glow

Now tarnished and dull

Bricks broken or not even there at all

The emerald city

Now taken over by crime lords 

A one colorful vibrant place

Now grit and grime filth


Yes Dorothy much has changed since you were last here

You see the wizard has gone and disappeared 

The tin Woodsman rusted stiff

Fell apart as time wore on

The cowardly lion was shot and stuff

The straw they used

I'd report scarecrow abuse


Yes Dorothy OZ has become a scary place

Seems a world apart from your days

Sadly though

It is so


Space cat

 


From the outer regions of space

They come

To help the human race 

With their softness and purring love


Space cats

Have been on this planet for Eons 

Space cats

Taking over one heart at a time

Once you hold one and look into its eyes

Your heart belongs to it


Space cats

Cute and cuddly

Space cats

Are here to stay

Tell me a joke

 


Tell me a joke

Tickle my funny bone

Make me burst out with laughter 


Bust a gut

Rolling in the isles 

Can't see straight 

Make me laugh until I cry


That kind of joke is great

A rare gem

In the world today

Country Evening

 


The sun goes down

After a long hot day

Fixing fence

Hauling hay

Time to relax

Just soak in the breeze

As sun falls

behind the trees

Beautiful might

 


The moon is high

It's a beautiful night in the country


Fall in the park

 


Fall in the park

Cool air

Ducks on the lake

Fallen leaves on the ground


Kids at the playground 

Some kids towing leaves T each other

Some building piles of leaves then jumping in

Grown up at the grill

Or just sitting watching the kids


Fall in the park

Cool air

Ducks on the lake

Fallen leaves on the ground

Bike ride

 


Bike ride

Amazing view 

Great exercise to


Started out with the sun barely over the horizon 

By mid morning break

This awesome view 

Head out a few more miles

Eat lunch 

Then head back home


When I go out on a ride

I could be gone all day

Enjoying the ride

Enjoying the sights

Enjoying the people I meet along the way

When will it end

 


When will it end

When will people realize war solves nothing

Look at all the death

Look at all the destruction 


Senseless killing all for what

It never ends

We stop one madman 

Another shows up

We're at war again


Those who go to war

Either return in a coffin

Or are so affected by what they went through

They can't function normally as humans anymore 


I could go on and on

Let us find hope

Let us find peace

Before it's to late

Looking back

 


This old man that I be

When I look back the possibilities 

I was 

Young

Ambitious 

A dreamer

With plans to change the world

Travel 

Discover new places


But that time has past

Time to slow down

Doesn't mean 

I have to put away all my dreams

Sunset

 


Sunset in the country

Nature at it's best

Telling the world

It has come Time to rest

Relax

 


Such a beautiful place

Such a relaxing place

The sound of a river at the bottom of the hill

The river flows into a lake down the road

Fish swim in the river

Birds in the trees 

Sing softly to me

As the wind ruffles the leaves

Sweet dreams

 


A swollen river of chocolate right below my feet  

and “la primavera” of Mozart

Played by an orchestra of bumble bees

 

 a purple hedgehog singing

“She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh”

to a swan who was singing back

“baby don’t you dare”  

 

crocodile sitting by the marshmallow creek

wearing my sun hat, as I turn to look closer

he smiles at me and winks

 

a flying saucer, flown by an alien

waving down at me

naughty granny jumping

off the caramel springboard

 into a bright confetti sea

 

a giraffe painting an up-side-down rainbow

for all to admire

there’s a bright blue frog

balancing on a tight rope wire

 

and the town clock that’s sits

upon the oldest living tree

tic-tocking backwards, oh yes

and me?

I’m floating upon the old woman’s shoe

                         drifting

                                                                          deeper and deeper

 

into this beautiful dream.

Music

 


All these records on the floor

A treasured memory  each one

They don't make music like this anymore 


There's just something about watching the record spin on the turn table 

Watching is go round and round 

Makes me smile so

Each sleeve the record is kept in

A work of art all it's own


Sure the music may seem "off" compared to today's standards 

But lives were touched by the music

Lives were lived by that sound

Lives were started with that sound playing in the background 

Color storm

 


Nothing is black and white 

And this storm proves it

Spiling color from the sky

To open up your mind 

To the wonderful world around you 

Train Tracks

 


Train tracks where you going

Train tracks where you been

Across the country and back again 


Train travel far and wide

Much to see along thec way

Smokey walk

 


A walk in the woods

Fire burnt trees

Smoke lingers in the air

Creepy shadows everywhere


Storm coming

 


A storm

Not of weather 

A storm

Between Heaven and Hell 

The Research paper

 


Research paper due

Wracking my brain

Exhausted from the tension and stress

Need a nap

But can't 

Research paper due


All day

All night

Little sleep

Book after book

Researching to write this paper 

That the ----- professor wants

Sorry about that

The stress has gotten to me


Coffee 

Coffee 

More than I am sure is good for my body

But it keeps me awake


Research paper due

Wracking my brain

Exhausted from the tension and stress

Need a nap

But can't 

Research paper due

Celebrate

 


Celebrate 

Dance

Sing

Party time


Food 

Drink

Games

Party time

Dream

  Your bed is calling  Can you hear it Your bed is calling  Will you answer  Adventure awaits It's only a dream away Swashbuckling pirat...
