Being Human

We are all undesirable elements

It depends on your point of view

Take my hand

Let us climb mountaintops

Alone with our nature

Allowing the surreal feeling

To take over us

As we climb into each others arms

Alone in the valley

Its is just the two of us

That’s all we need

Let us be free together

Let us sing to the heavens

The fantastic song of life

Bare foot on rocks

Let us step out of this rotten old box

Let us build a fire that

Ignites our souls

Let us run past midnight

Allowing only our heat

To keep the fire alive

Let us get the hell out of here

Before they fully take

What is left of us

Let us jump naked

Into the cool blue waters

And feel what it is

  To be alive

And actually feel it

Not just mimic it

But to feel it

Really feel it

Experience that feeling

That feeling will bleed into our souls

Then

We will truly understand

What it is to be human

May the Fourth

A Jedi feels the force all around him

It penetrates and combines all living things

I am not a Jedi

Although I would like to be

They're not allowed to love

I would become Darth Vader

Already have

Can’t I just fly my falcon?

With a good blaster by my side

And my wookie friend

Gurgling reassurance in my ear?

Nope I am just me

I can’t use the force

I do not have a wookie

Although I call my truck “the wookie”

Maybe I will play some

John Williams

And pretend

Turn on my mimic light saber

Put on my Vader helmet

And play with my model falcon

It does light up

And make sounds

Love Is not Perfect

My love is not perfect

Far from

I took it for granted

Allowed it to shrivel and prune

The thorns larger than

The roses

Love is more

Than a feeling

But the feeling

                                                                         Is there

It’s a commitment

A selflessness

A painting that is

Never Finished

I have allot

Of learning

To do

Mixing

Black root beer

With

White Ice cream

Letting the two halves

Mix and become

One

Letting go

Of resentment

Knowing your fear

Was not a way

To control

Rather

A place of your love

For me

As my burn

Shows

Still allot

Of learning

To do

Maybe one day

My love

Will be perfect

I will be

Dead by

Then

But everyday

Little by little

I keep learning

Maybe one day

I will get there

Until that day

I will struggle

And yearn

And be

Forever thankful

That you are

At my side

Leading me

To the

Perfect love

That we

Share

Freedom

The hum of the motor

The vibration from the engine

The put put put of the exhaust

Riding at night

70 mph on the freeway

I feel free

I only focus on

The traffic

The bike

The road under me

I can only see

The light from others

My own beam spread allowing me

To see what I need to see

But not that much ahead

I feel free

I feel like I am flying

I am one with my life

Thanks Giving 2004 (Margie #3)

Nervous to come to your house

Knowing that people I don’t know will be there

Nicest people I have ever meet

You embrace me as if we have met

Your jello orange and full of carrots

Is beautiful and full of you

Friends, children

Grandchildren, Great grandchildren

You gave them your all

You followed your bliss

It is true that we have to be ourselves

And that it shines as a light house

Letting others see your light

You have given that light

To all of us

That love that has shined forth from you

Is in every one you met

Saving this world

By just allowing us to know you

I love you

I miss you

I treasure you

If Niche is slightly right

This world will continue

Again and again and again

Which is why we must live the life we choose

You did that, you followed your own heart

To your family

For your family

And you did it with love

Your life is the beacon of success

Thank you for sharing yourself

For being yourself

And for allowing us all to know you
