A tiny bird
kept borrowing the rain.
He’d dash into the spray,
then hurry back out,
wearing a thousand diamonds
until one joyful shake
sent them flying.
Again and again,
as if happiness
were something
you could simply
run toward.

Happy 4th
The holiday knocks,
but grief answers first.
I open the door
with a smile for the world.
Some chairs
are never empty.
Simply filled with love,
that has nowhere left
to go.
Luckily I get to clear my mind spending time with the sunflower academy.

Grateful
Started this post a few days ago then got busy.
The song was what prompted the post.
Today woke up angry.
Just not a happy camper. I can feel anger emanating. So Unlike me.
This little face warmed my heart
Spent a little time with her, then off to work. Still angry. Now let me just say I try to keep the negative thoughts to myself. Lots of self talk… came here to vent. Found the draft from the other morning. It had this song and it reminded me of the morning I first heard it. Yeah so much better.
Grateful I woke up again (Amen) Woke up and took a breath again (Yahweh) Looked up and saw the sun again(oh) I’m grateful for the eyes I have (Amen) I’m moving all my toes again (Amen) I’m grateful for the wind against my face(hum) I’m grateful for the sensation(sensation) Of a loved one’s embrace.
Grateful for all this and more.
Peace and so much love

This song
This song makes me feel those feelings.
You know those feelings, of when we stayed up all night talking and it was good.
Miss those feelings.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and
Just forget the world?
So much peace and love

Currently
A vacant heart, a silent mind,
No tears to fall, no pain to find.
A canvas bare, no colors bright,
Just quiet strength, a healing light.
The echoes fade, the storm now gone,
A hollow space where grief once shone.
No joy, no sorrow, just a pause,
A steady breath, a healing cause.
Like shattered glass, the pieces mend,
A new beginning, a journey to ascend.
No pulse of emotion, yet a steady beat,
A quiet healing, bittersweet.
I guess all I really need is a little good news.

What Siri!!
My phone keeps suggesting I open up my app and write something. So ok!
I heard an amazing song anyway. One I need to share 🙂
Life is free and easy.. love is a different story. Like? Yeah, I like it all lol…
Could you be that fine love uhm
That 1949 love uhm
That quiver in your spine love
The summer wine love
Could you be that sweet love
That sated replete love uhm
That Mediterranean heat love huuu huuu
That stuck-on-repeat love
Just grab a warm body
Sheesh those pretty lyrics.
Hope your love is all this and more.

A Symptom
A symptom of being human.
I can’t help but think of you when I hear this song.
Not that you even remember when my birthday is or that November rain is a favorite song.
Maybe it’s just the group and how obsessed you were with them.
So I guess memories, feelings and songs can be symptoms of being human.
No matter, the song is amazing, where you lack lol.
We’re all just passing through
Passengers on a ship of fools

What the Universe!?
So yeah the Universe is always throwing it back.. In your face
Go bug somebody else, so I can sleep at night
Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else’s life
Those ending lyrics there, well, they caught my ear. Made me turn around and say huh, did I just hear that? After a fast Google search, why, yes, yes you did. Heh.
If you get away from that someone, the devil always sends them back.. to see if you’re still a fool.. Not today Satan! Not today!

The Twists
The twists and turns of life.
How is it that when something devastating happens you think this is it. Yet, you go on. Like, you just fake it, til you make it. It’s gotten hairy in the last couple, three years but I’m still standing.
The people you need to have around for comfort ? Well, let’s say who?
The last couple days, I hear from someone who was checking out the greener grass.. I, like a fool check out that site.. the one with the green, or magenta grass.. sheesh. You tried so hard, and what happened?
I’m not the same person anymore. Life has gone on., so have I. See my grass is really green. Besides, who wants what anyone can have?
Lock me up in a maze
Turn out, turn out the lights
I was born, I was raised for this
Turn out, turn out the lights
Lock me up inside a cage
Just throw away the key, don’t worry bout me..
I can do this with my eyes closed…

Love on the Rocks
This movie!
The songs…
Ok so I really never appreciated Neil Diamonds talents. That is until I saw The Jazz singer. Which I happen to be watching again as we speak.
At first they say they want you, hear how they really need you
Suddenly you find you’re out there walking in a storm..
Some really amazing lyrics (these stick out right about now), and his voice, well it’s pretty good too…
So if you’re looking for something with some boom, boom, boom.. this is the movie.
✌️❤️
