My Keys

If I knew now, what I knew then,
How simple life would be.
At sixteen I knew everything,
So much was clear to me.
I knew my parents knew nothing,
They really were a drag.
I had a handle on it all,
The world was in my bag.
As I got older clouds appeared,
The world became less clear.
It seems a little bit is lost,
With each successive year.
I’m over fifty now and yes,
It seems that time just flees.
I really don’t know anything,
Like where I left my keys.

WHAT IS MUSIC

What is music
But some lines on a paper
With little black dots and flags
Until someone picks up the violin

What is life
but a matter of time
And the routine I choose to follow
Until you entered the room

What is love 
But a loosely used word
In songs by lonely poets
Until you grew around my heart

And then
      I discoverer music and life.

FEBRUARY IS NOT A BARGAIN

February is not a bargain
Besides its cold and long dark nights
Its icy streets and frozen lakes and rivers
It has the audacity to cheat us out of a couple days
And wallowing in its own ego
Still claims to be a month.
