My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and me...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

I've always had a problem with getting Normal and Weekend together as a rule!

The Beachcomber
The waiting shores enjoy my prayerful walks,
Their sand like somber elegies pulled forth
From some arrangement in a minor key,
So wondered I, musician close at heart,
What tunes and keys the ocean played across,
And what its range in notes: I longed to know.
So hurriedly I dropped my rosary,
And left it there, in moonlight, on the sand,
As if I thought the waters would come forth
And lift it from its place, to count the beads
That I had counted time and time again,
So now the string was frayed, the colors faded:
The force of all my quiet songs to God.
So now, I watched the seas spill forth their sound,
The voices of that great abyss, like lights
Come dancing, jubilant, above the ground
And carrying their melancholy plights.
I calculated every note they sang,
Melodious, in their concocted lines
As if the choir of heaven had come down
To stroke the seas in music. Let us sing,
The many ships there shipwrecked now implore,
Let us be lifted up, not lying dead
Beneath fragmented lyrics on the shore,
Let us rise up in harmony instead!
And II took the rosary again,
Once only said on long, deserted trails,
But now I spoke again. With every prayer,
I etched some human marks into the sand,
Where tides had not yet come, where men had walked,
But only once and never walked again:
With every word I spoke, a music note
Came tumbling forth out from a rotten twig,
Id chosen to write music with. Now I
Observed these nine set paths Id drawn across
The wilderness of beach, these music lines,
And on them tiny noteswhat could they conquer?
Still, I wrote them where I once had made
Great fortresses of sand, with walls and motes
And selling, at their gateways lemonade,
No more of castles: here come music notes.
And yet, I knew the greatness of the sea
Could not be reprimanded when off key.

I well remember those days at Community College, especially my first year. Oh, It was madness. I hung in there and when the break came, I fell in a heap.
I loved those years, they were fabulous for me.
To: Soaring Feather
Back then we had fewer responsibilities and it was sweet.
These days it's still sweet if you survive the holidays...
