Use your voice,
you might lose it.

Unlawful orders?
Just refuse it.

You’ve got rights,
but they’ll abuse it.

Cynical noise?
Just mute it.

We got work to do,
if you choose it.

Gotta
throwaway song
just for you —
found in a trunk
one afternoon.

Words
long ago.
Scribbled black ink;
time plays back
on recorded demo.

Tape
reel revolves
against head.
An idea only sleeps,
it’s never dead.

Hand to pick.
Guitar pickup
leaves no doubt.
Play it live, play it loud!

may the music
greet you,
may the words
say hello —
may you be counseled
by truths you have known.

may the music
fascinate you,
may the words
seep into your bones —
may you be chaperoned
when out on your own.

may the music
transport you,
may the words
become your own —
may you be consoled
when achingly alone.

Take oar,
slide under
the overview.
Emerald light
flourishes
in mixed blue.

Splash side
flotilla
floats on by.
Birds sing
and dragons fly.

Overcast shimmer,
accent above;
these open waters
lift the soul to love.

Sometimes loss
is found again.
Life sustained,
in the wake
we comprehend.

I’ve been writing little dreams
for the adorned corners of my mind;
Place them into the slipstream,
nightmares recede in time.

I mediate my immediate faculties,
entreat the subliminal sublime;
Calmed by casual causalities,
commit thoughtful thought crimes.
