Soulful Cure
Soulful Cure
Guide me past the fog and
low valleys into the sunlight that
should be my life.
Mix your elixir and give it to me
Quick, let it flow into my thoughts
and down my throat and suffuse
my body and mind with a healing
balm of bliss.
For my soul aches just a little
and I wish it to stop.
I want to move from this dark crossroad
sitting under this dead tree while these
brown leaves fall around me.
I will ride with you oh wise shaman if you
have that soulful cure that I seek.
I will trust in your wisdom
as you trust in my fortitude
to see things right.
Then can I finally go to my dreams
knowing that I truly sleep
tonight.

Timing
Circles fly by
And I become intertwined
In the thought of
Loving yours
But you spin away
as you revolve fall away
from the piece that
is me
Into space
Never capturing your eye
again.
In this quiet place
That could be you and I
It’s all timing.
It’s always been
timing
Two circles spinning
together or
away.

Take Courage in Oz
Take Courage in OZ ~
bespectacled girl.
You have a heart
as the tears flow.
You are on the road
even though
the yellow bricks
are all faded and
cracked
You are on the road.
Take courage
as the forest for the
trees
grow up and around,
Dark arms reaching,
menacing.
Its all they are,
menacing arms
Its all they ever are.
Take courage in the night
for the moon lights
your path.
The lions, tigers and bears
are friends
For who could resist your charms.
Oh my!
Who could indeed?
And if they did.
Well what kind of friend
would they ever truly
be.
Take courage in Oz
for you walk the same land
as them.
