The winds are just excuses
Worn and broken fuses
Tearing eyes
Without surprise
And none of them have uses.
The snows are just disguises,
Covering growth that man despises.
Blowing skies
To shelter lies
And hide another crisis.
The suns are happy cheery notes
Weather on which we'd cast out votes
Gloom, it dies
With human sighs,
Plastic castles enclosed by motes.
The rains are just relief
The shedding of our grief
Failure tries
A human cries
When verity shows disbelief.
The hails are just a screaming
The rain and snow are teaming
A god he sees
A wise man agrees
Most things are only seeming.

If all the sharp stars, fell down from up high, from spaces beyond deep blue skies...
Would you even try, to catch at least one, or stare glaring as each star dies?...
Might you doubt that I, care not for my sight, I'd stare at the sky until you...
View blue's truest blues, through night's true blue hues, bright minds sometime see more than eyes...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dark skies display stars, honed by the Sun's rays, sight gone, yet now I can see...
More clear than I ever, I pray that you never, stop shining your light down on me...
At times and on days, in ways brightly blaze, star-points pierce through the night's shades...
And I've felt the pain of your stars from the start, sharp blades fiercely pierce while they play....

These sins of mine, persist with time, consisting of bad thoughts...
Then transfer to, actions untrue, just look what I have taught...
I brought truths not, then fought the fight, I ought not fight no more...
I might bring light, laced with pure dark... sick darkness I abhor...
At times it seems, serene in dreams, some dreams can open doors...
Revealing scenes, deep in between, these things should not be seen...
And while it's true, He suffered too, that I might suffer not...
Well I was taught, to be like Him...let me abide with You....

baby, hills run dry
beneath your velvet sky
outside i queue for gas
in the rain
baby, I don't know
how the tale of us will go
don't walk away
on stepping stones of pain
your smile is a light
on a cold dark night
look and search my face
there's no distain
all I ask for now
is some peace somehow
no need to give me
shelter from the rain

I’ve played with glass marbles, they’re black as black gets...
Cracked down their middles....and right through their backs...
Chained to long nights backed with painful cold-sweats...
I’ll bet that these pains are the best I’ve met yet...
Although I do know, though I don’t......will I grow?...
The best of me.....that person I’ve never known...
And while cracks remain, time has maintained what’s stained...
Strained cracks in black glass back and reaps what’s been sown....

drank whiskey
from her navel
after hours
in a bar
heard the sound
of my breathing
through the lungs
of your guitar
and lightnings just
a broken string
on horizon's
air guitar
cloudy lyrics
fall as rain
through the windscreen
of my car
I started
a new life
as we had
just begun
swam circles
around your mind
untill you closed
the sun
you told me
i was stubborn
you told me
yes and no
I went fishin
in your creek
but the water
was too low
there's always
a new town
a new girl
and you
tryin hard
to unpick life
tangled up
in blue

I spent monday
just walking through town
searchin' for magical
timbers of brown
I watched tuesday morning
arrive like a swan
calm at the surface
when calmness has gone
I spent most of wednesday
walking the deck
from the truest of branches
I fashioned your neck
your hips were my thursday
curved from the air
I spun every string
from a strand of your hair
friday smiled at me
from the teeth of a breeze
my old life was locks
the new one was keys
saturday woke me
to the purest of note
from the deepness of meaning
I painted your coat
now the world is a sunday
and your song is a bird
I listen to your breathing
and I know every word

At first not caring that some statues and memorials were being removed.
As well as the naming of schools, highways, buildings, etc.
I thought that I understood.
But it seems as though there is no end to it.
Eventually, there will be no naming of anything nor statues nor memorials of
anyone.
As time has passed and continues to pass how people construe what is good,
bad, or indifferent has and will continue to change.
There is a skeleton in the closet for everyone.
For example, as much as we love and respect John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King, they were both purported to be notorious womanizers.
Some might think this to be a moot point but THIS is the POINT.
Which sin or indiscretion will be viewed as allowable or not and by whom?
History was what it was.
One can't alter that.
What we can do is teach the truth of our past, present, and future.
Enlighten our young.
Show them that love and charity are the brightest paths to follow for shared happiness and the preservation of our freedoms and liberty...

Each semester my Professor teaches words that are clever...
And whether the pleasure reaches stars I would never...
Sever the treasure, or display my displeasure...
In weather when we are together...
And despite the fact that sometimes I'm stressed...
I'm blessed when I'm pressed to pass these hard tests...
And though I profess, and truly confess...
I'm less stressed when in recess...
I thank all my teachers for all that they teach...
Each one a bright star that is just beyond reach...
They never do preach, they correct my bad speech...
Each week they critique what I speak....
