Over consumption is
The poison in our veins
Slowing us down in many ways
Stealing away valuable space
In our minds
In our hearts
It is undefined
It is broken apart
In our souls
Keeping us halfway
From being whole
We have, we hold
The anecdote
That goes against
All that we have known
It contradicts
What is comfortable
It's lush and green
Spacious and clean
Home to no material things
Inside Out of My Mind --------------------------------------- Bring the inside outside to breathe life, empathy, perspective and understanding. For, when all those are combined, the sum is community!

Hall Of Wonder
Energy strung
So high above
The bricks that built
A world so small.
Life that left
Before it was done.
A soul so hollow
It was bound to all.
The mind collapsed
In it's shell
So shaken
By the ground once moved.
When the eyes
Came into view,
The girl had to ask
What had been proved.

When the eyes

INTO
Here is a poem I completed on September 14, 1989.
INTO
Grasping tight
Into this
Moment of confusion
Stripped of power
I speak,
Time follows,
I repeat.
All is lost into darkness.
Shadows faded,
I found
A strength within
Unknown,
So deep,
Shallow to the cause.
A spark captured
Light of day.

I repeat.

I found

Unknown,
So deep,
Shallow to the cause.
A spark captured
Light of day.

Mountain Home: Whistle Stop Road
Almost twenty years ago, I set out on an endeavor that I had been thinking about for quite some time. When I first began writing, I had the desire to turn my poetry into song lyrics as I was very passionate about and deeply moved by music. It was not until my early 20's that I actually set out on this journey. I started this project with a couple of very influential people in my life who were also talented musicians. We did work on the lyrics and melodies for some time and nailed down some pretty good material but, unfortunately, it ended there. I am now at a point in my life where I am going to revisit these songs and hopefully follow through with it this time. I want to share one of the songs with you today.
This one is called is about a place I call Whistle Stop Road, see what you think.
Mountain Home: Whistle Stop Road
Boarded the 8 am
Headed for the mountains again
Behind me the city fades
As I make my escape
Into as deep inside of me
As I could ever be
Searched far and wide
City to city to mountainside
1st chorus
From the crowded time
Where I was lost
Into this heart of mine
To feel the cause
2nd chorus
This time I'm here to stay
Found my home
I've found my way
Now this Whistle Stop Road
Is a place to call my own
Now I live and love the night
And drink the light of day
Feel as though I might
Shine along the way
(Repeat 1st and 2nd chorus)
Now this Whistle Stop Road
Has Become my mountain home
(Repeat 2nd chorus)
