week 466 ~ when the world sounds like music

when the world sounds like music
take a deep breath then join in
no matter what song you pick

you’re alone stuck in traffic
driving home from where you’ve been
when the world sounds like music

savor the moment things click
it’s one time you’ll always win
no matter what song you pick

happiness has no yardstick
no set place it should begin
when the world sounds like music

it passes you must be quick
to actuate your break-in
no matter what song you pick

you know you’ll land in the thick
of a landscape wide open
when the world sounds like music
no matter what song you pick

week 431 ~ for the children

for the children
for the voiceless
now don’t ask when
for the children
shout yes we can
reverse this mess
for the children
for the voiceless

week 398 ~ without a spark how do things move

without a spark how do things move
don’t ask why life’s stuck in the mud
extricate yourself all that crud
will come off in the wash improve
your perspective seize the next groove
or simply press on regardless
of fogging on the windshield guess
a direction for your winding
road then make a stab at finding
the fastest way out of this mess

week 288 ~ dance on close your eyes

dance on close your eyes
pain won’t go away
nevermind time flies

it takes a few tries
to find a new way
dance on close your eyes

and wait for blue skies
though spring just won’t stay
nevermind time flies

dreaming sometimes buys
respite for a day
dance on close your eyes

and soon they’ll realize
it’s your turn to play
nevermind time flies

life comes in your size
so jump in the fray
dance on close your eyes
nevermind time flies
