Shadow Side

There is another side
The one we all try and hide
In truth
We know it is inside
The darkness
The endless pit
The emptiness
Filled only with loneliness
We know when we see it
Cause we know we shouldn’t
The kind of behavior we all despise
Until we realize
I am capable of that too
Everything in me
Is also in you
So the horror includes us too
Bombing women and children
Sex slavery
All abomination
All sin
We all hold the darkness within
We all have a shadow side
Yin’s opposite
Yang’s foolish pride
But if we all know hate
All can be prejudice
All can discriminate
We all can love
We all can be the light
That also dwells in all
That we all know when we see it
In laughter it is always present
In your embrace
I feel it
When people help out
And lend a hand
Or raise their voice and take a stand
We know love is true
I know it is in me
I know it is in you
So when we can decide what we do
When we choose
Who to be
And what we let others see
Let’s be love
So that that darker side
Can turn to the light
And the light side
Can be the one to brighten the night
Each side has a place
But on earth
Our job is to be safe
Live in love
And let go of our hate

Spring Hath Sprung

Spring hath sprung
Winter is done
But there is still snow on the ground
And my heart is still cold
My love still untold
Still waiting for my gold
My award
A special graduation cord
Enough about me
Let me listen to the Lord
Spring has begun
A new start has come
Tomorrow we feel a little warmer sun
Birds now again sing
And those returning
The ones that wait for spring
I remember that shade of green
The first one seen
Before the leaves become flush with color
A green
Greener than any other
Soon it will be Earth day
Let us celebrate our mother
Actually let’s please love her
In our actions and our deeds
Not in bumper stickers and smoking weed
Let’s do our part
And plant seeds
Stop using oil
Make all believe
The sun and the wind are all we need
To run all this world’s electricity
In spring
Love blooms
Creatures look at each other longingly
And decide to dance the dance of eternity
Become gods themselves
And create new beings
Out of their own organic chemistry
This is the way
It has always been
So we should pay attention
Get bored with this so called global ascension
This spring we can start
We can play a new part
In this play of life
Stop being the bringers of strife
But reach for greater heights
To live in love and gratitude
A brotherly attitude
New life starts now
Observe spring
To understand how

H

I’ve walked the earth
And seen the sights
Been to the highest of heights
Beyond everything
And sometimes I feel like nothing
I don’t know why
Don’t understand
Always asking for the Lord to reveal their plan
Why don’t I just live
And have faith
Be patience
And wait
I need not know the date
I just need not hesitate
Speak from my heart
When I feel you resonate
Love with you I would celebrate
I wonder when I will feel like me again
I wonder if I will not pretend
My hand I can lend
Your heart I can mend
Time I can bend
And your wishes I will send
To the One
Who makes them true
Who makes you
You
To change my world
The choice is easy
Change myself
Change the things I do
Change what I see
Change what I hear
Change how I be
But I need not change everything
Because much of me
Like much of you
Comes from the Lord’s creation
That means it is of eternal manifestation
Not for human consumption
Or meddling
Or altering
We are Divine conception
We are meant to build off this tree
To be the fruit that is everlasting
To be connected
And unique
Each with our own life to seek
I seek mine
Again in a new home
In the same place
Same face
But wiser hair
Seemingly going nowhere
But we are always on our way there

My Little Pony

There is a horse
His name is Tucker
Actually he’s a pony
A rascal and sort of annoying
He is kind of gross
He likes to roll in the mud
And a pest when he tries to steal your gloves
Whether they are in your pocket
Or on your hands
In the hay he does stand
Scratches the ground
Because he wants some grain
I say stop
And pull on his mane
Yell his name
Tucker!
Behave!
But he won’t
He just wants to play
Get out of the paddock
And run all day
He would if he could
Whether or not he should
Tucker lives by his own rules
Decides who is and who is not cool
All the mares
They say Tucker you are a fool
And no one likes you
Stop bothering me while I am eating hay
Still the same every day
When I go to feed the horses
It is the same two courses
Grain
And hay
One after the other that’s the way
And Tucker
He’s the same always
Rolling in the mud
Stomping his feet
Always wanting something to eat
With a bite is how he does greet
And that rascal look in his eyes
I do not really care about his size
I am going to headlock him
Through away his feed bin
Laugh when he gets no dinner from me
I am just joshing though
This is how my love for tucker does show
Cause I think he knows
How I feel about him
Always nice when I rub his chinny chin chin
Give him carrots
Let him chew on them
I wish I could be like Tucker
Spend my days in the sun
Rolling in the mud
Loose this tie and fancy shirt
Cause like Tucker
I rather be covered in dirt
