I sit reading Wright
The jetty shines white
As black surrounds,
Clouds roll in on a connecting flight
Sun burns through the cold
Darkness of the dirt
Down the path to war
But you can go on sipping your wine
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
You can go on
Words do so little
Rhythm does so much
Don’t cling to the spirit
Just keep a graceful touch
Does so much
Graceful touch
Does so much
Wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Don’t cling to anything other than love
Don’t cling to the spirit without two feet
Touching the ground, embracing defeat
Ask for forgiveness; more better than less
When you’re feeling fettered, forget all the rest
Words do so little, rhythm does so much
Don’t cling to the spirit, just keep a graceful touch

Sophisticate ape
Begs for more
Like four on the floor
They come to me for
My genius; but bright sun
Still shines down on Venus
Unpredictability,
Thieves come in the night
To swipe the only thoughts
I thought were alright
Everybody, every way
Cares to see the artist
Exposed to all the world
Their drunken, honest pearls
Turn your head around
And see the flowers grow
Even in the midst of snow
Screw the red fern
I’ll build my own fire and
Burn, burn in the flames
Unpredictability,
Thieves come in the night
To swipe the only thoughts
I thought were alright
Everybody, every way
Cares to see the artist
Exposed to all the world
Their drunken, honest pearls

Paradoxes

Finding myself, I lose myself in the process
Laying down this life, I gain the tree of knowledge
First shall be last and last shall be the first
And the worst will be the best and the best will be the worst
The good ones never say
I’ll govern you today
They give themselves up
And make their own way
They look at the green grass
Wet in the morning and night
Carrying us home
The robins taking flight
Set free of sin, introduced to a master
Succumbing to the fate of your kin, you walk down the tracks rusted red as your sunburnt skin
It’s more blessed to give than to receive
But the fish in the sea don’t know ‘bout you and me
The good ones never say
I’ll govern you today
They give themselves up
And make their own way
They look at the green grass
Wet in the morning and night
Carrying us home
The robins taking flight

Daydreams

Waves ripple
Gunk flows
Away and escaping from what makes me grow
Church choirs
Fall down
Unable to flee from a resounding sound
Turn away from the all the noise
And breathe the breath of this
Don’t know how I’ll get this done but
I swear I’ll hold on ’til the end
Doors shuttered
Blinds pulled
Children down in the creek and lovers holding hands
Men sitting on
The porch
Tapping feet, eager to pass the torch
Turn away from the noise
And breathe the breath of this
Don’t know how I’ll get this done but
I swear I’ll hold on ’til the end
