full spectrum



In a single day
feelings range
from invisible to blinding,
infinity below to infinity above,
a song, a movie, a voice,
a memory.
3-D Emotions.

Just for today



All the stars aligned
each dream and plan fulfilled
Fireside, we sat and laughed
we shared, we smoked, we chilled.
I think that Mama Earth
reflected back our love
by giving us our purrfect day
and starry skies above.
Fears about tomorrow
Doubts of days gone by
Bathed in sunlight of today,
 behind a starlit sky

All the stars aligned
each dream and plan fulfilled
Fireside, we sat and laughed
we shared, we smoked, we chilled.
Amidst the trees
our oldest witnesses
we swapped stories between
many maryjane kisses.
The setting, the view
the purrfect landscape
our own little playground
a purrfect escape

cared

I never cared
that no one cared
till someone cared.
Can't be repaired.
Now I'm scared.
But glad we dared.
So she stared
as you dared.
Then we paired
and we bared
our souls
our clothes
our dreams.
Then I dared
to say i cared.
Nothing compared.


Moments

Everybody has them
sometimes they come and go.
Today was just another day
I really missed you so.

"Even Now" was playing
as I drove by your resting place;
I could hear you saying, "bear-r-r;"
I could almost see your face.

I'm older now, by 14 years,
than you will ever be.
When you look down, I hope you're proud
of what you see in me.

Your daughter's 29;
Now she's a Mama too.
Every time I see her,
She's more and more like you.

Your son, oh, you should see him;
he's grown so very much.
All because when he was young
He had his mother's playful touch

I don't know if you know,
your killers were on tv,
Crying, saying, "sorry;"
They just want to be free.

Of course you know, a piece of mom
broke the day you died;
to lose a child, in any way,
changes you inside.

It's been so long since you've been gone;
I rarely shed a tear.
Today was just one of those days,
I really wish you were here






August

Lazy days
Summer haze.

Afternoon fun
Dwindling sun.





Thunderstorms, showers
Endless happy hours.

Tomatoes and beans
Sweatshirts and jeans.

Back to school
Close the pool.

Summer ends
Goodbye friends.
