Think . . .

Sailing on an emerald sea.
Advertisements and color photographs
Don’t mean that much to me.
Poolside cocktails; 
Love in the sand. 
It’s like a dream that just came true.
I just don’t know how much that I can stand.
Many temptations are swimming round my head. 
So many places that you’d think I’d like to be instead but . . . 

I’m always thinking of you.
I hope you think of me too.
I only want to be where you are.

Riding to the Wellington Club.
I’d have a driver and he’d take me there.
I’d just sit back and put my two feet up.
Money doesn’t measure the man.
All you can do is spend it; spend again.
It only goes so far. You can’t pretend. 
Many times over I’ve seen it slip away.
I’d like to live that life sometime
But baby not today. Cause . . . 

I get a feeling when I’m with you
That nothing else captures the same way.
You know it’s true.

If you see the pyramids rise
Above the desert sand into the sky,
A greater sight you just won’t realize. 
River fights its way to the sea.
Worthy opponents just can’t hinder it.
It always gets to where it wants to be.
Just like the river, I see my destiny.
It’s right there in your very eyes
Each time you look at me and . . .

Perfection . . .

 

https://www.shutterstock.com/search/perfect+score

(from Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow)
". . . "Is it not time to awake from the deceitful dream of a golden age and to adopt as a practical maxim for the direction of our political conduct that we, as well as the other inhabitants of the globe, are yet remote from the happy empire of perfect wisdom and perfect virtue?". . . "


Perfect World
- Huey Lewis and the News

Deluded . . .

https://www.thedigitaltransformationpeople.com/channels/strategy-and-

innovation/the-10th-business-delusion-that-deceives-managers-2/

 Maybe something's simply wrong

About my perception of the kind
Of things that soothe or make strong.
All I know though, I've got to say,
And on this thing I've often brooded,
If someone with conviction offers
True and honest expression,
He isn't merely just deluded.

". . . If people somehow get the message that, you know, what's really in my heart is this, and it might take me 20 years to, you know, get accomplished at that thing that I know is the right thing for me, but I'm going to put the time in — if they have the opportunity to do that — maybe the message is stick with what you love. And probably great things are going to happen. . . And even if you don't have, let's say, the same kind of commercial success that I've had — which, again, was not my motivation — you're going to be feeling great about your life because you've done what you wanted to do. And that, to me, is the ultimate happiness and peace that you would get in your life if you can do that. . ."

What's It Got? . . .

The song has no lyrics,

And no verbal content.

It has no fine narrative,

Prose, even poetry,

No sleek science-fiction

Even neuropsychiatry.

It utilizes nothing 

Like language that's spoken, 

Not modern, nor ancient, 

Not up-to-date token.

It's quite simply music-

mere notes and some rhythm.

It still tells a story.

It was my own decision.

Better Lies Ahead . . .

sign-yellow-black-lettered-message-image52058671

I don’t ask much,

Living my life the way that I want.

I stay in touch with what goes on out there.

I’ve seen trouble. I’ve seen heartache.

But my time here

Has been long enough to

Instill certain qualities. 

Seems the more that I witness,

All the more that I wish

I could hear what you’re saying.

We’re all better than this.

Let’s identify exactly what we miss.

Beyond perilous moors

The brave sea glitters.

Better lies ahead.

Whether or not 

We realize the years flow upstream.

Things that we’ve got aren’t always what they seem.

Your and my faiths are so different.

Each is placed in 

Antipodal reference 

So painful to reconcile.

If we stop trying,

What can we do?

What’s in the future

For me and you?

There’s both right and wrong but only reality prevails.

Beyond

Remix . . .

 

https://www.alamy.com/mixing-bowl-with-cake-batter-image350811638.html

Ours is a sensory world

So many sources abound to entice

Still this mortal marathon’s run

The trick’s in 

Pacing yourself

Finishing’s more than the win

Ears to see and eyes to hear

Understand direction where to steer

All the tender subtleties

Every little nuance there

Ears to see and eyes to hear

Super-Sensory powers instilling fear

Better than invisibility

Leaping buildings

Flying high

Noise from all sides all decibels

Arresting every sensation possessed

One step forward 

Two steps back

How much can you take

If doing the same thing over and over

Brings no change

Will you do it once again

I possess no bravery in matters

Any more than anyone else
