Ancient Winds

 Ancient Winds

I met a woman

While I was out

She was cool 

A lot like me

We talked until 

She had to go

Many things

She had to say

She told me what

Had led her here

She told me that

She faced her fear

She's going to build

A ship on earth

Cut her curls 

And ride the surf

14 years 

Has been enough

Freedom calls

From family stuff

Ancient winds

Torn her mast

Her past has past

She's moving fast

But still she hopes

To meet someone

To share her love

Till life is done

Could I be

The one for her

Could I love 

I'm not to sure

It's been a while

I need no cure

For now I'll stay

Just as I am

Feast on meat

And pass on clam

Renea your not 

The girl for me

At best a catalyst

To keep me free

Build your ship

I wish you luck

I'll trust the gears

In my old truck

The ancient winds 

May change direction

A time for all

To make correction

Civil Eyes Nation

 Civil Eyes Nation

Nations of civil eyes

Spy's for those in disguise

Looking down

From machines

In the skies

The dawning

Of G men    

With 5 billion ties

There are some

In the middle

Who would not

Deem it wise

But the beast 

Has awoken

And is strong

Beyond size

The shadows 

Have failed us

We must 

Turn to the wise

There's more

To this riddle

That's seen

With your eyes

The foe

Is a macro

Injected from lies

Beware of the leader

That's swarming 

With flies

Under the skin

Infestation 

of hives

Gollumly speaking

And all it implies

Old Dancing Shoes

Old Dancing Shoes

Pack Pack Pack

Don't stop

Till the packins done

I used to think

This was so much 

Fun fun fun

My life was like

A stack of boxes

Endless stuff

A hidden world of paradoxes

Haven't you heard

The news 

All you need 

Is an old pair

Of dancing shoes

It's time too

Shake those packin blues

Kick that cardboard 

To the curb

Get up

Off your tuffet 

Skip the whey

And toss the curd

Too much stuff

Weighing me down

It's so absurd

It's time to grab

Those Dancing shoes

And move beyond 

Those cardboard cubes

When I was young 

I lived for love

I lived for fun

Playing here 

And playing there

A world free of care

Until the day 

I lived my life

For a world 

Of endless ware

Gone gone gone 

Went all the

Innocence and fun

And the love I new

A world of warmth 

had all gone numb

Haven't you heard

The news 

All you need

Is an old pair

Of dancing shoes 

Let it go

Let it go

Renew your love

Unbox the hate

Be the one 

You choose to be

Free yourself

It not to late
