Awakening

With a long breath of fresh air

a willing recognition of the season to come

 and the understanding of whats ahead.

awake to the light

for your future so bright.

Moment in Time

This moment in time 

has past.

 seconds in history,

a fleeting experience,

nothing recorded.

will they pass again sometime?

Viola

A sweet small beauty

who arrives every spring,

but never in the same place.

tough she must be,

between the rock and the hard place

she smiles above them all.

when seasons change

try and find me

in another place so small.

Bleeding Heart

Dicentra eximia

Wild Bleeding Heart

Whistling...

whistlin' past the graveyard

steppin'on a crack

i'm a mean motherhubbard

papa one eyed jack

i know you seen my headlights

and the honkin' of my horn

i'm callin' out my bloodhounds

chase the devil through the corn

last night i chugged the mississippi

now that suckers dry as a bone

born in a taxi cab

i'm never comin' home

The message is, shed new light
