7/29/21 the mystery


 

 Savor 
The mystery

I don’t know why
I don’t know how
All I really know is
I’ll never know 
And that I am incredibly grateful
To have this opportunity 
Of experiencing human life on the planet earth 
Now
Loving, learning, associating with others 
And living in our cozy little settlement 
On my grandfather’s potato field
A drop of time 
A stupid rhyme
I’ll savor the mystery
Till I’m just history

Does this
Activity
Lead me to where
I want to be

No is the answer most of the time
All I do is sit and rhyme
Today I'll make a great bold list
Of all the things that I have missed
And one by one I'll cross them off
Then someday soon I'll sit and scoffed
At all the wasted time I spent
I'll learn from it without lament
Oh what great things I'll achieve
Or is this just one more chance to self deceive

Does this
Activity
Lead me to where
I want to be

7/14/21 know that you must die cc

Breathe deeply
And know that you 
Must die

If I knew it would be today
What wisdom would I convey
Study life and be kind
Always manage your busy mind
Be loving and grateful
Never act hateful
Get tough and resilient
But don't think that you're brilliant
All we have is just a little time
So write a song or some stupid rhyme

Breathe deeply
And know that you 
Must die

7/12/21 This shit ain't personal cc


I'm standing too close
This shit ain't personal
(Universal unfolding)

My shoulder hurts my feet are swollen
I got toe fungus and a iffie colon
North Korea has been shooting missiles
The dog came home with lots of thistles
Life is better than has ever been
Garden greens and eggs from our hen
Electric, heat and indoor plumbing
Coffee, wine and the checks keep coming
I'll stand way back and watch the show
Be kind, gentle and stay in the flow

I'm standing too close
This shit ain't personal
(Universal unfolding)

Destiny 7/5/21 cc

Does this brick 
Fit in
The wall I'm building
(Destiny)

Almost all the things we do
Cast a shadow out of view
It's all the small things that add up
Like a little sugar in each coffee cup
Draw something each and every day
In a decade or two you'll have a display
Graduation, marriage or divorce
Well put us on a different course
So I'll consider the choices I make
And hope that it's not just another mistake

Does this brick
Fit in
The wall I'm building
(Destiny)
