in this senseless world—
everyone needs something to hold—
just to believe in…
in this senseless world—
everyone needs something to hold—

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
just to believe in
themselves. Shallow people swim
in shallow waters.
In shallow waters
Fish glide peacably, crabs walk
With brackish anthems.
"It's so mysterious, the land of tears."
Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
with brackish anthems,
quick tempered tempos, pinch and
side step tango waves
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
side step tango waves
upon waves, drowns each step, and
and erases days
And erases days . . .
The long procession of stale
Hours and cold moments.
“As Kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame . . .”
Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.
Hours and cold moments:
represents the motion of
this convolescent
this convolescent
heart longs for sunny skies
begs just to be free…
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Begs just to be free
Longs to be out in sunlight
Pearl in the oyster
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
Pearl in the oyster
Polka dots on the cheetah
Trump's hair is roadkill
"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people and then they take themselves out of the slums. Christ changes men, who then changes their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." ~ Ezra Taft Benson

does it ever stink?
does smooth skin ever shrivel?
age is a factor
My hide hides the heart inside
Age is a factor
To those who dwell upon time,
Not life's enjoyment.
"It's so mysterious, the land of tears."
Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Not life's enjoyment;
which one must also dwell on
in the afterlife.
in the afterlife
we return to essentials,
free-flowing spirit
