6:22am

There's a fiery sunrise
being
born in front of me

If you ask yourself
too many questions
about purpose
they will
get in the way

You're better to
just perform

Blue Bowl

The days grow long
the sun starts to fade
the family pet
rests in the shade.

The heart of the land
releases with touch
the smooth hard ground
that you've missed so much.

Highland Ave.

Long patterns
of shadowed sunlight
and
hidden heartache

Steep hills
no hands
rock your horse
to no end

Allowances
and time
well kept

Deep ledgers
tend not
to forget

Travelin' / Tryin'

There a man
in a band
and he's
tryin' to
take a stand

Takes his songs
around the world
to all
the different lands

Sarasota
to Mexico
there's nowhere
he wouldn't go

To tell his tales
of love and loss
no matter
what the cost

On his journey
to find his soul
he continues
to grow old

Slower steps
none the less
his story
still gets told

There's a man
with a plan
and he's
tryin' to get a hand

Looking for
true romance
and not
his biggest fan

As his heart
starts to grow fond
he continues to
sing his song

Now for the one
he thinks he's found
from movin'
town to town

Recovery

Yellow Sunset
Quilted regrets
The colors
Seem true
I want
To love you

Fresh starts
Dry hearts
Moist spots
And the
Darkest thoughts

Wake up
