Held . . .

. . . together  

There was a time
When I was so unsure 
Of how I would find
My way through tears and trouble.
This big world can
Look so scary 
To a little boy
On his own.

It's held together by your love.
So secure sometimes it's frightening.
The thread connecting
All the right things
That help me to survive.
It's held together by your love.
It's so sure it strikes like lightning
A breeze refreshing
Me when I 
Find that life is cruel.
It's held together by your love

Each day I'd see 
Life full of uncertainty.
So few were free
From burdens of humanity.
It seemed to 
Me like everything 
Was fraying 
Before my eyes

I'm not one to run away
From each little storm.
Only fools refuse assistance
As they're carried downstream in the 
Rushing foam

I look around,
Concerned for much 
I see now.
I may have found
The rare elusive why and how
That everyone keeps searching
For, to bind or mend
All life's loose ends.

Waves . . .

. . . grace. sun, a little at a time . . . 

The ocean waves kiss the beach
Wherever they please
So many places to reach
Yet still with grace and ease
Countless miles to cover
Before meeting another

Nesting, a wren adds a leaf
A home she foresees
No blueprint, plans and no grief
Construction marvel agreed
Seasons need to instruction
Each with their own introduction

A little at a time
Enough that you can do
All else will wait in line
Many different worlds
Can’t be moved at once

Sun shines so frequently
No invitation required
No schedule does she keep
She and the moon will conspire
You want your cake and to eat it
All in it’s place as you meet it

Patience in one kind of virtue
Much more than patience to you
All things will come in their own time
Individually

Coordination . . .

 


Camera angle means a lot (pay no attention to that man behind the keyboards.) Trying to get the entire band in the shot, turn on the camera, record the audio and play in the band requires more coordination than I have been able to muster. I'm working on it though.
 
A spirited performance however, captured here at a joyful outdoor event this lovely summer's day, of an OHO standard, 'Burning Grey' . . .

Roadrunner . . .

 

Spend my time just running
From the things that bother me.
Running to a better place
Where people just can be
Exactly who they are,
Without a care about
Some preconceived illusion
Of one thing they think 
Exceeds the rest in value.  
Unfortunate, the ones who feel
A threat from something different
Which just doesn't look like
They expect it to.

One . . .

 . . . more thing

Just one more thing,
Let me say again,
If I repeat myself
Every now and then,
Please excuse me
Cause the where and when
Confuses me on the start and end.

Rage . . .

 

https://www.123rf.com/stock-photo/rage.html?sti=o15iy8cxbmu1433c44|

Take a breath
You must chill.
Nothing's worth
Such a drill. 
Your blood pressure
will rampage
If you can't keep control
Of your very own rage.
