Band on The Run
Looking outside of my human form….Flowing consciousness flows/grows into external bliss…..Chasing Mad Maxx?……Trying to survive the matrix/I surrender anew….

Silent Bells
Taking my mind to another part of the matrix….I seek the eternal analysis of the human condition…I push the realm of a higher consciousness/I try…

Finding Nemo First
Tired eyes at 6a.m….Walking a surreal line anew….I cry tears of joy?….Sensitive hearts trying to make a difference….Poetic muses ponder!

In The Moment
Thoughts of a surreal world take me to a different place now. Friday becomes another reason to check.

Quiet Room Speaking
Ears ringing 24/7. I try to make sense of a senseless life anew. Hanging out with the folks at Denny’s. My inner psyche grows with the complexities of human dynamics.

Between November
Life becomes just a series of events. Complex children running towards misunderstood elders. Walking a tightrope along angst and melancholy. Destiny fades to black. Life becomes just a series of events. Destiny fades to black.

After Summer
The journey of life traveling at the speed of sound. Flawed characters taking life one day at a time. Pain becoming useful medicine. Hope provides a band-aid to heal weathered hearts.

Fading Forward
Existing between complex worlds. Seeing the beauty of fellow truth-seekers. Tired eyes reaching for a brass ring. Pet sounds fade to the twilight zone.
