What is the color of darkness???
If you close your eyes
Will you see it
If you dream a dream
Will you be it
If you open your eyes
Will your day be bright
Or do you need someone
to show you the light
To see all the colors
in the darkest of night
It takes a good friend
to help shine the light.....

There's my little pumpkin
...all carved and cute as can be
The centerpiece of my table
...for all the world see
He may be just a Jack-O-Lantern
...for one special day
But in my thoughts and memories
...he will always stay.

I am most obliged that Daddy was such a grand old gentleman and that he was willin' ta share those words with his only child.

Words that fall from this tree
Come from the very heart of me
Knowing all is not meant to be
Emotions carried out to sea
Washed with tides of sweet serenity.

On top of Ole Smokey
Where nobody goes
I saw Annie Oakley
Without any clothes
Along came a Ranger
And took off his vest
When he saw Annie Oakley
He took off the rest...
Don't shoot me Annie,I was only playing!

That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize
It's not the way I choose to live
And something some where's gotta give
You know I'd fight for you
but how could I fight someone who isn't even there
I've had this conversation with you
now I want the best of you
I don't care if that's not fair
Think of me and I'll be there
You should know how I feel
Many words I have revealed
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
Then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you could see......

Baby I'm yours,just say the word
Songs of wisdom that is heard
Look at me and see what's true
What on earth I'd do for you
Stupid is as stupid does
life on earth and full of love
And even after years, I need you when
You jilted me, now and again
I'll never go, I'm standing here
Lost in time now c'mere.......

A whisper that speaks louder than words

In my heart, it always whispers

I'm trying to remember the view
Of a photo that I took of you
So, I got out the album today
To recall how you looked that day
You had on a pair of white shorts
On the beach of our Kona resort
And a flower print Hawaiian top
You found earlier at a small shop
No shoes just your tiny bare feet
I remember, my heart skipped a beat
Your hair shoulder length with a flip
A new do you got just for this trip
Surprised when you got home that day
Just two words was all I could say
Oh my...
I've stopped looking, your photo I found
In my heart I'll always carry you around

With three ships, he sailed away
Hopin' the world weren't really flat
Showin' everyone where America was at
Hay, I don' make this stuff up an I never ever lie...

How to find gold ... that dirty rat
And Columbus sat on his haunches getting fat
In his custom made Italian Gucci
'Cause Amerigo was a Verpucci!

No matter how hard you might try
To fly way up high in the sky
You'll end up confounded
Because you've been grounded
You're a beagle not an eagle.... That's why

Or squashed it all to Hell.

Days linger only for brief time
Capture the sunlight in these eyes of mine
Flood my heart with healing rays
Bring back laughter to grieving days.
Memories placed upon the highest tier
Only to touch in times of fear
Live today with full of heart
Fuel the flame with a tender spark.

I sat beneath the poet tree
I tried to write of what I see
Just over there on yonder hill
A babbling brook and grist mill
I sat beneath the tree that day
I tried to think of words to say
But then a sleep fell over me
Rip Van Winkle, I am, you see

I feel it inside, down in my soul
And can't hide these things I know
We should only just be friends
But hopefully this story ends
But you ain't got nothing I never had
And I promise that it won't go bad
So for now let's take it slow
And you really never know
Someone must have loved you
Not the way that I do
You're missing what I'm trying to say
Ain't nothing getting in my way
So tell me that's fantastic
And promise me, you'll always try
Never doubt your self my dear
starting over is never clear
I don't know what it means
But I sit here wondering
It just makes me wanna say
Who let you go?

The Broom and Dustpan
Look up to me dustpan
I'm new and bright blue
see the gloss on my bristle's
not a stain on me anywhere
while you are a old metal dustpan
taking what I give you
I see you up there broom
new, yes your new
I've seen quite a few
Yes we are many
a grand famous family
You dustpans have always served us
We are the masters of the floor
I'm tall and beautiful
so gracious in my sweep
No one will call you humble
for this is plain to me
that can change, we'll have to wait and see
(Well time went by)
(and things did change)
(for better who can say)
(The dustpan he still holds his place)
(The broom was thrown away)

"When I was nine years old
My daddy made me see
The story of the railroad
And how it came to be
He said the men who laid it down
Had left their own hometowns
And broke their backs to give us traction
And that's what he did for me
(CHORUS)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
Show your face, for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
Feel no shame, it won't be long
Do you ever stop to think
Who built those walls around you?
Do you ever wonder
Who those people were at all?
Because the hands that give you shelter
Are the very ones that you refuse
And proof of what they're worth
Will live long after you are gone
(CHORUS)
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
Show your face, for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woebegones
Feel no shame, it won't be long
Come on
I'm begin you listen
With an open heart
Your soul is so cruelly judged
Forgive us for our tresspasses
Were taught to us because
We were raised by people
Raised by people
Just like you and so
When the world falls down around us
It'll lead to you our goal
It'll be unto we all come running"

"Little Moments"
Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that
Well that's just like this last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off
And she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that
I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that
When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that

See the Woman
She has a young face
An old face
She carries herself well
In all ages
She survives all man has done
In some tribes she is free
In some religions
She is under man
In some societies
She’s worth what she consumes
In some nations
She is delicate strength
In some states
She is told she is weak
In some classes
She is property owned
In all instances
She is sister to earth
In all conditions
She is life bringer
In all life she is our necessity
See the woman eyes
Flowers swaying
On scattered hills
Sundancing calling in the bees
See the woman heart
Lavender butterflies
Fronting blue sky
Misty rain falling
On soft wild roses
See the woman beauty
Lightning streaking
Dark summer nights
Forests of pines mating
With new winter snow
See the woman spirit
Daily serving courage
With laughter
Her breath a dream
And a prayer

I sold ice in hell one time
and I never made a dime
the devil took me for a ride you see
Worse than this ole country....
God bless America
home of the brave
land of the free
If some taxes I can pay
just leave me some money
for my family
even tho you take half
and my ex gets more than that
I still have welfare to help me out.....
God bless America.....

I love my country tis of thee
Amber waves I planted to survive
Mother Nature has her ways
Who am I to raise a fist?
Against her force or what I can not sway?
I know who I am
A product of this land I toil on
No excuses, no handout expected
I will survive
Strong in spirit and resolve
Relying on my own strength
No apathy involved.
No God has blessed this country of ours.
To assume so is a pipe dream
We stand on our own merits
Do unto others
As you would have done to you
The basic law of a global brotherhood.

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.
Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.
Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!
"Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.
But "India" the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.
The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.
Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.
He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.
The first American? No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

"So Beautiful"
Whether I'm right or wrong
There's no phrase that hits
Like an ocean needs the sand
Or a dirty old shoe that fits
And if all the world was perfect
I would only ever want to see your scars
You know they can have their universe
We'll be in the dirt designing stars
And darlin', you know
That you make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful
Whether I'm up or down
There's no crowd to please
I'm like a faith without a clause
To believe in it
And if all the world was smiling
I would only ever want to see your frown
You know they can sail away in sunsets
We'll be right here stranded on the ground
Just happy to be found
I have lost my illusions, I have drowned in your words
I have left my confusion to a cynical world
I am throwing myself at things I don't understand
Discover enlightenment holding your hand..........

"YOU"
'Twas only a short season ago
... when the dullnes of life became a glow
You reached out your hand to cradle mine
... and guide me through the sands of time
But for these things I might never smile
... but would trod in loss for many a mile
When I would think that all was lost
... that is when you loved me most
As the veil of darkness came to my eyes
... you were there -- a blessed surprise
For 'tho I was difficult and gave you grief
... You held me tight and brought relief
Your gentle touch and strength devine
... Shall remain in my heart for all time.

Its like trying to catch the wind
Or putting sunshine in a jar
A broken heart is hard to mend
Strings snapped on an old guitar
Tuning takes time and a knowing ear
Patience love and a gentle touch
To hold it gently without fear
Finding the song you want so much.
Sometimes I'm up,,sometimes I'm down
other times I just go round and round
I try to laugh but then I cry
cause I see so much passing by
trying to catch a bit of life
without so much fuss and strife
but the harder I try it seems to be
the bigger the mountains encircling me
I'm tired of climbing and weary of pain
each step forward sliding back two again.

Words and music by Alan Bergman and Michel Jean Legrand
Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousell that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that you said
Lovers walking along the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of a song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
In the autumn of goodbyes
For a moment
You could not recall the color of his eyes
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Carnation's the town 'round the bend
The group believes in reincarnation
Their presence here on DH won't end

Were it not for past days of living
Could we now be so forgiving
To look someone in the eye
And admit to an awful lie
Were it not for by gone days
Would we be more than mist and haze
To gently waft and drift about
With no one near to know our doubt
Were it not for love gone wrong
Would there be a wistful song
Of tears and sighs and sleepless nights
To remind us of the wrongs and rights
Were it not for passions kiss
Would we have known true loves bliss
A touch so warm it never fades
Imprinted on us forever days
Were it not for a last goodbye
How could we know an anguished cry
A dream dying or breaking heart
The pieces scattered far apart
Were it not for flesh and bone
Would we be more than mortal stone.

Have you ever seen anything
more beautiful than a tree?

One of my all time favorites
If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good help to you nevertheless
And filter and fiber your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop some where waiting for you”
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

If I could only be
in your eyes and what you see
I would make a point to be
a very special memory
One which you could recall
Spring, winter, summer, fall
But alas -- but for football
I make no difference after all.

Where oh where did Blabby go,
He has so many questions to answer, he's the only one who may know.
There are problems to solve,
As the threads do revolve,
Where, oh where did Blabby go?
Aka Qirki????

It is rather quirky
...from what I can see
For a sexy macho man
...to be up a tree
When there is no blind
... on eyes or mind
Why must he continue
... to show his behind
It may be -- I do fear
... that he isn't looking for deer
But may be after other prey
... come hail or high water any day
If the season opener is next month
... would he always be so gruff
Me thinks a day of rest is what he needs
... for chasing gold is surely greed
But again ... and forsooth
...he is a man ...

Funny the things I remember
When it's cold, the end of September
'It doesn't really matter to I'm'
She use to say that all of the time
Funny that would come to my mind
Except perhaps to remind
Funny the things I remember
When it's cold, the end of September

I climbed a tree
for the mystery
of seeing the site
from up high
I felt like a bird
when I got up high
fresher air
from the sky
low and behold
the stupid branch broke
I flapped my arms
it was no joke
my wings they failed
and so did I
no more fresh air
from way up high......

Etched on my brow like a scar
The time of living can sometimes marr
Picking up one foot at at time
Facing the forward road to internal rhyme
Pieces of the puzzle so often lost
Others never know of the price or cost
So we go on no matter how hard
Looking for that missing card
Hoping to find it, praying we do
While all the while being true to "you".

A BRAND NEW DAY
Author: Aeni
Rest your head and close your eyes
Everything will be okay
For when you wake with the sweet sunrise
It will be a brand new day
Turn down the lights and pull me close
Feel only the beating of our hearts as we lay
For when you wake with the soft morning breeze
It will be a brand new day.
Relax your body and caress my soft hair
Let all of life's worries melt away
For when you wake with the warm summer scent
It will be a brand new day
Fall fast asleep and dream with me
Whisper "I love you, I'm here to stay"
For when we wake in each other's arms
It will be a brand new day.

'Could You Live Like That' by me
Could you live with someone who always sees sun
Could you be with someone who likes to have fun
And what if this someone is never ever grumpy
And he likes blueberry porridge, creamy not lumpy
Could you live like that?

There once was a little green frog
An this frog got loss in the fog
He said, 'not ta worry'
So, along he did scurry
'Cuz this fog ain' Los Angeles smog'

Plate glass windows
they mock your transparency
Your heartstrings weighed down
by all that you harbor
you're stuck in your misery
Your heart beats in a cacophony
of pushed down feelings
and your cold exterior has left the room freezing
Below zero, You're arctic
You'll accept no help, too mellow dramatic
You speak words of malice
with a tongue like a blade
someone to play with
sometimes you do jade
Continue on in your self destructive ways
and continue on hating me for days upon days
you cling on like they'll pull you out of deep water
when all they'll do is help you drown farther
What you see as a life boat
is really the weight in your chest
I wish I could find it in me
to wish you the best.......

Once upon a time there was an engineer
Choo Choo Charlie was his name, we hear.
He had an engine and he sure had fun
He used GOOD & PLENTY candy to make his train run.
Charlie says, “Love my GOOD & PLENTY!”
Charlie says, “Really rings my bell!”
Charlie says, “Love my GOOD & PLENTY!
