PULSE

Raw emotion
not a passing notion

an expression that doesn't pass
it's meaning forever will last

Its what we derive, that keeps us alive
but much more than that
its incentive to strive

A time, a place
A vision we chase
and somewhere in time a memory we can't erase

A feeling to me thats everything but second place
in a constantly moving...rat race

But how does one know
where we will go ?
my answer to this ~ I really don't know

but that doesn't matter
as long as...together we flow

MESSAGE TO MARLEY (May 11 th., 1981~ 30th. ann. of his death)

Thirty years ago you died today
your music in our minds forever will play

A peaceseeker and friend to all
it wasn't about height that made you tall

A vision
A dream
no in between

Equality you sought
A war within you fought

Injustice survived
your message revived
tunes to chant
new dreams to plant

Rita your love
your gift from above...

Freedom to live in harmony each and every day
sincerity from your soul
what you shared along the way

Your visit was short
humble lessons you taught
I assure you sir it wasn't for naught...

So good-bye we won't say
eventhough you went away
and for those who don't realize
don't get it anyway...

TEMPTATION

The root of all evil
or the will to survive
experiences to live for that keeps us alive...

A soul without passion has nothing to share
A mind without reason is negative and bare...

So look to the sky and smile to the sun
today is a new day, and once again we've just begun..

and don't feel so guilty about what you should
or shouldn't do
you see it's your unique platform, that makes you...you

And don't get so frustrated if things don't happen to be
and always remember ~ you may have touched someone you see.

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE AIR...

There's something in the air
I can't see it anywhere

It's not here
It's not there
It's not anywhere

I looked high
I looked low
while working about
you stole the show

It's a feeling I get without looking to the west
It's pure sensation
thats better than
good, better, best

A dream
A thought
Lessons life has taught

Reminisce
A gentle kiss
About You..there's nothing I want to miss

An image
Anyday
You made it come alive
Yes..I must say...

So there's something in the air
and no I don't see it anywhere
but pleasure comes in life
to those who genuinely share

MELODY of LIFE

Sing a song..
Play a tune..
A sunny day..
the month of June ?..

A jingle here..
A lyric there..

Express yourself if you dare...

A line thats new..
A line thats old..
It all comes together after the stories told...

You think its complex..
perhaps in between...
does anybody really know what it means?..

A blade of grass..
A flower too..
A little girl just for you..

A small boy.. who's out of sorts..
did you appreciate how good he was at sports ?..

No, all of this is nothing new..
just natures way of sharing between two...

..and in the end..no recourse for you..
cause you see..their a reflection of you...

So write that song..
and play it loud..
as the day may come and they'll be proud...

BLIND EYE

Camera, Camera what do you see...
Hiding behind a lense thats blind to me..

A click, a snap, your focus has a way that narrows the gap..

A Face
A Day
One moment in time..
with you we can preserve whats been left behind...

Clarity, a pose, I guess thats how it goes..
things I wanted you to see, but someone
else you chose...

Film that has happened just by chance
Capturing the soul at a moments glance...

A box, an album, safe places to keep..
I promise I'll look again and have another peek...

A smile in time that once was mine..
Days now that are missed..
You see without you I'm totally blind...

ABOUT TIME

Its all we really have 'till the journey is no more...

up until the end..behind a wooden door..they call it death ~ because its for sure...

and for this reason alone, sometimes we need that second breath...

We all desire to start a new..
and if we didn't would else could we look forward too?

So you see its not shallow the need to renew
Things I never had the chance to tell you I know would have been important to you...

So just for a moment take a glance back..
and don't think of whats been lost, rather, what lacked...

...and should you laugh don't wonder why...
...and should you cry look up in the sky...
...then look for a reason within, and maybe you'll understand just where..
...we've all been..
...then come very, very close..cause your reflection in my eye is what I hope you'll see...
