Bamboo Beatles drinking cups
From son Paladin
So glad he learned “green” from me
Earth’s renewability…

*scroll down for a Tom Petty video*
Entwined in DNA
Dreams refusing to die
Whether for
Fortune
Fame
Freedom
We will grow legs
And crawl out of the muck
We will align with the greenery
And face the sun
We will rev up the engine
And drive forevermore
Movement
Physical or mental
Brings us to the border
O, we must refuse to
Hover between fantasy
And the real
Because
Those who dig the deepest
Wresting the treasure chest
From the Earth’s grasp
Those who claim the prize
Will inherit the future
The priciest double helix
To pass along
Singing the sacred song
Of a life well won…

Waking up singing
A song that I wrote,
No matter how basic
And unGrammy-like
It may be,
Is almost the
Ultimate high
For me
Eclipsed only by
The birth of my sons
C)Couldn’t bear the memories
(G)Just can’t face it, baby, without (Am)you…
(Chorus from SUBTROPICAL, W-I-P)

It is the children
Who are able to heal us
With their open hearts
