After heaven’s wrathful song
After sky’s great tears
Greens awake all o’er the ground
Blossoms open wide
Drums from heaven fade away
Presence faintly felt
Sun peeks ‘round the bright’ning clouds
And glistens in the grass
After heaven’s wrathful song
After sky’s great tears
Greens awake all o’er the ground
Blossoms open wide
Drums from heaven fade away
Presence faintly felt
Sun peeks ‘round the bright’ning clouds
And glistens in the grass

Stories told and stories writ
Here and near and far
Tales of love, courage, and grit
Among the distant stars
Teaching us of dark and light
Right and wrong and truth
Fight, they say, the greatest fight
Awake your inner youth
So we are transfixed, agape
One more earthly day
To that galaxy, escape
The one far, far away
Take this walk with me
Along this cobbled road
Come with me and see
The stories yet untold
Let’s forget the past
And walk as partners we
Into a future vast
And full and wild and free
Cutest cuddles coming quick
From dearest dog delighted
Such sweetness to send you sick
When leaving love’s lax light
Crusted eyes and stuffy noses
So goes the morning’s greeting
‘Fresh’ and ‘air’ will never meet
Once past this day in May
The final days of spring
Give way to warmest sun
The buds and blossoms sing
As children laugh and run
The world becomes alive
As if awake from dreams
And so does life arrive
In reds and blues and greens
I went out walking with a pen in hand
And found that all the Earth is stories told
I quickly listened, and these stories penned
Deep into night’s embrace of silent cold
Coffee in a glass
Iced coffee in a glass
There is no sweeter substance
Than coffee in a glass
Running in circles again
Dancing polka in my mind
Wanting to know if and when
The meaning of life I will find
These drab walls can’t hold
A lifetime of words
Of love
Of life
Nor can any
No walls
No windows
No ceilings
Could possibly contain
So we turn to nature
Perhaps there
Our wings could spread
Fullest
