Posted: 11/2/2009 7:24:37 PM | together we could light up the darkest sky
like the full moon glowing so bright tonight
even behind clouds its light prevails
as if floating behind a thousand veils
imagine us flying on her lunar sails
or we could be equally swimming in sea
so free to be whatever we wish
imagine us underwater now we are fish
oh dear...that last line suddenly brings to mind Seuss's 'One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish'...and Pooh's 'Now we are Six'.....the very first book I remember having besides, 'Curious George', 'Are you my mother?' and 'The Little Red Engine that Could'....hmmm...seems all those books have played a significant role in my identity search all these years!

and now up in the air on our favorite dish
somehow i think that we just got your wish
somehow it just doesn't pay to give in
to the red and the yellow and little blue fin
that are swimming in vain in our book on a whim
yes you can, yes i may, and so cindy lou
joins in with the last phrase and laughs with us too
we can do this WeAreOne....ha!
(i really wanted to latinize and "grinchus " this one, LOL) | |

The elephant, the falcon and the kangaroo
The hyena was on a dinner date contemplate
What it ate! A little birdie told us 'date with fate'
Then the hyena arrived literally spitting feathers
The birdie fluttered in the stomach - no tethers!
The animals watched as the bulge became animated
With a hiccup the hyena burped and the birdie was free & elated! | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 4:22:25 AM | the birdie was free and elated
and fortunately, not really gestated,
but the hyena's appetite was not saturated....
eyeing the elephant, falcon and kangaroo
they knew exactly what to do
they took that hyena and sat her down
to calm her body, heart and mind
before she lost her grip with their friendship
actually, last year we had fun on a crazy thread a friend started
called something like dr. seuss comes to oz....i'll see if i can find it.... | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 4:29:25 AM | Hope you find said thread! 
Before she lost her grip with their friendship
And wondered if it had all been a dream
Like that song 'merrily and gently down...'
Drifting on a metaphorical stream
Lost in unconsciousness where shadows floated
And said nothing at all - she lost her own voice
Drifting on silent water in light which was boated
No paddle; just light piercing the shadows - rejoice! | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 4:51:49 AM | just light piercing the shadows...rejoice!
of course seeing it is always by choice
for we can bask in sunshine even in the rain
or be determined never to love any other again
light piercing the shadows....rejoice!
can happen even with a silent voice
quietly sitting or walking or being
breathe and listen to your heart beating
took a little while, but found it.....no time to resurrect it now,
but here's the name anyway....The Notplace Where Dr Seuss Lands In Oz | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 1:05:23 PM | breathe and listen to your heart beating
enjoy the moment that can be so fleeting
let it take you to the land of oz
while skipping and singing your tra la la's
does the beat quicken or slow way down
as peace within melts away the frown
what do you see in your brief small respite
light of the heavens or darkness of night | |

Forever you're Saved or Forever to Fight?
The actions you take, the decisions you make
"Freedom of Choice", a dangerous right
For good seldom used
Most commonly abused
Murdered Lovers, Childless Mothers
When we will see how our choice affects others? | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 3:45:00 PM | When we will see how our choice affects others?
probably when it comes home to roost
which is a day late later than it not bothers
left cognizant and less than full juiced
freedom of choice is a right folks deserve
for there are born souls that are tossed away
Ive been down that road and possess the nerve
self righteousness is but a way to delay
(I cant give birth, but I am a motherless child, thank you, you can chill out now. i have seen alot of death that people lived through because of this belief on the street. ugly. short term ethics dont buy a life . they never have and never will.) | |

mulling of a crowd with one minded goal
to erase the freedoms of sacks race relay
erasing the innocence of an infinite whole
bar the differences ban the unique
fear foreign thinkers or foreign lands
lends reasons to shun the oblique
to tar and feather those you fear of colored bands | |

and yet just shed off the rest that demands
I could give a shit, i am a man that just stands
i will stare down your joke in the corner
i aint gonna blink, the past is long done
i can dance in the street while you think that its fun
all it takes to blow days a madman with a gun
though i could live in a place a tad warmer | |

i love the deep chill in my bones
yeah, i'm a bit of a performer but you know
there is no place like home
the warmth of my soup is cooking
i love the silence of the night
i long ago stopped looking
knowing everything is going to be alright | |

the feeling of kissing my children goodnight
my bills and mortgage i'm able to pay
everything in my home im thankful for that i pray
tomorrow is not guaranteed
why today i provide everything my family may need
why once the day is through
i tell everyone in my home....i love you | |

two bunnies a snake and a bucket of worms
oh and in there i think there's a manchild, dude!
(always in search of a homey zoo?)
and they all tell me they love me
especially when it is night dinner time
or breakfast or lunch or snack just because
they're hungry and i am the mommy... | |

I provide for the offspring
When the little 'un's bored I will sing
Then we'll go and feed the ducks
As they dive for bread and give us looks
And walk amongst the autumn leaves
Kicking them in glee as spider weaves
A web glistening amongst branches of trees | |

I'm caught in the magic they weave
jewels line the street in the shape of leaves
trees blown bare no covering it needs
sap running down safely to the ground
knowing winter's white coat will weigh it down
twist and turns of branches we see
eye catches the one holding the swing for me | |

catching the morning dew
entwined within the autumn leaves
of red and golden hue....
the winds of autumn rose and grew
sending leaves into a tail spin
now the trees are looking wintry
such beauty found in autumn....
ahh....sun...love your poem!
synchronicity strikes again...just skip me please...

Such beauty found in autumn.... encrust
A rainbow of colours and synchronicity
The swing's frame the colour of rust
Blending in with the leaves of gold, copper and red
The one pushing the child on the swing dressed in pastels
The child in mittens giggling in glee - a pink hat on her head
As she clings to the swing's chains and is lost in autumn's spells | |

she breathes deeply feeling the newness touch her lungs
swinging just for fun ... higher and higher
stretch her back, laying nearly flat
hair dragging the ground
dreams floating around in her head
silly to think they'd come true
of life, she didn't have a clue | |

all her smiles turned into frowns
shes lost her crown
she fears tomorrow ,
with an aching sorrow
never hoping for a new day
love she sought has blown away | |

insergent's voice make others pray
swayed by righteous misinterpretation
prone to masterminding indignation
if hell exists they won't need an invitation
you'll find them with little investigation
now she needs a new home and plan
she also needs a new good man | |

the osprey, spring, your sparkling eyes
like effervescent bubbles
