anyplace...
( mr full buck moon ) ...
wrapped in sheer velvet...
spun in his know-it-all grin...
the child's eyes of a wise man...
keep hold on the mystery to men ! ...
~~~~~~~ ~~
(heaven on earth )...
we've heard it through the forest...
there's the coming of a place...
where all on call pull down the wall...
for one big human race...
and light again...
will find a friend...
a smile on a beaming face...
take a chance...
there's heaven on earth around us...
we've felt it with the rainfall...
a softening of our ways...
when we realize the pain that lies...
within the moments of our days...
and truth will bring...
the sunshine in...
on the smallest of its rays...
take a chance...
there's heaven on earth around us...
we've known it on the ocean...
the secret of the tide...
to anyone who stands alone...
with others right beside...
and love will lift...
with its giving gift...
each and everyone who wants to ride...
take a chance...
there's heaven on earth around us...
we've seen it in the sunset...
another destiny...
for all who choose and care to use...
loving humanity...
and peace will flow...
to those who show...
what's been given through eternity...
take a chance...
there's heaven on earth around us...

summer's soul tis
)
...
over nightly oceans of mystery's dark weather...
a lone drawbridge closed linking seasons together...
and a clipper ship cloud from sea's port of called june...
entered summertime waters with the man-in-the-moon...
at the helm of crowned sail reigns bound to that realm...
their captain's salute welcomed crews over whelmed...
with a passage so smooth around corners of waves...
turning tide on time's border at its highest in days...
th is threshold of movement flowed deeply to see...
it's own moonshine broadened through light's clarity...
from a crow's nesting lens opening holy cleared views...
to that infinite source behind their course for that cruise...
horizons of fair skies meeting coastline swept features...
set float to forever with all washed ashore creatures...
then boats and their man in a main phase of moon...
chartered more stars through an evening in june!...
~~~~~~~
(one day)...
- 1 day...
2 wishes and...
3 dreams came upon...
4 children playing tag with...
5 happy dogs chasing tails near...
6 trees standing in a circle overseeing...
7 castles of moats and open drawbridges on...
8 giant mountains of dirt roads winding sideways for...
9 horses in rainbow colors with long flaming manes leading...
10 pretend people into swirling loops of gallops around city park!...

father's river
)
...
"my father shares!... but you don't care!"... said the river to the men...
..."you're bringin' machinery...
...destroyin' the scenery...
...and i'll be dammed again!"...
"the kids used to play... till you found a way... to keep 'em from com in' around!"...
..."since you fenced it all off...
...at childhood's cost...
...staking my father's ground!"...
"oh i wish on a whim... they'd sneak here to swim... but you make sure they shan't!"...
..."you tore out the pier...
...then put pipelines in here...
...that even the fish can't stand!"...
"look for the boats... they no longer float... my banks are all but bare!"...
..."my water is rank...
...and it's you i can thank...
...for draining my life everywhere!"...
"you're too busy counting up... what is amounting to... greed flowing faster than speed!"...
..."you've spoiled so much...
...should've never been touched...
...now i'm poisoned ' neath your deed!"...
"i've seen years of changes... and what's really strange is... nothing ever gets better!"...
..."mother earth wants to tell us...
...you're making her ill but...
...you're just too selfish to let her!"...
"oh you're slick alright... though i know this site... and i see what you do!"...
..."your guise of good purpose...
...it hides the self-service...
...of what you've entitled for you!"...
"you think for your sake... and the things that you make... that it ain't worth your while to bother?!"...
..."well if i don't recover...
...i'll just be another...
...treasure you lost from my father!"...

christ
shows life
the greatest love known)
...
no room at the inn...
where men had dropped in...
to bed themselves under their covers...
with visions and walls...
closed so tight down the hall...
the night found no doorway for others...
god opens more space...
for there's no place to stay...
in man's crowded ways of his own...
a true home on earth...
came through in christ's birth...
and gives life the greatest love known!...
an angel on call...
at that small manger stall...
spread forth to shepherds of sheep...
good tidings of joy...
over news of the boy...
who was born christ the lord for all keep...
god opens more sound...
for there's no mouth around...
in man's crowded ways of his own...
a true word on earth...
came through in christ's birth...
and gives life the greatest love known!...
the young child grew...
strong and wise in his youth...
with grace from above laid upon him...
and days came to pass...
that would see him at last...
save men by god's hand among them...
god opens more deeds...
for there's no path to heed...
in man's crowded ways of his own...
a true work on earth...
came through in christ's birth...
and gives life the greatest love known!...

christmas eve
drops in
)...
there was no tree with presents...
n or candles burning bright...
in every single home on earth...
on that yuletide's special night...
there were many other places...
where christmas never came...
and faces tucked among them...
who never heard that name...
a child asked his father...
to explain this festive season...
"why do some folks celebrate?...
while others have no reason?"...
well his father sent an angel...
to visit in his heart...
and tell him there are answers...
and show him where they start...
"love doesn't wait for holidays...
to be around this world...
it doesn't need a certain eve...
to give to boys and girls"...
"love lives among the things we do...
by how we get them done...
and anytime and anywhere...
is fine for love to come!"...

and unto man the illusion...
lest some first-hand might get tied...
by second-hand conclusions!)...

(your attention please)...
a voice broke through a store's megaphone...
"your attention all staff and all shoppers!...
there's a heart'n'soul in our office here...
who got lost from their heavenly father!"...
patrons and clerks started looking around...
at each other's faces among this crowd...
trying to find out which careless one...
was missing the pair that security found!...
the loudspeaker's airway blared overhead...
throughout all those hours of business...
as a heart'n'soul waited so patiently...
to be together again with their kinship!...
time finally stopped by to close up for the night...
yet that lonely duo still remained unclaimed...
then while the guard safely put them away...
their inner tag opened bearing everyone's name!...

' winter's...
blizzard ...
of beginnings !' ...
in wraps of...
snow boulders...
where knit caps...
rub shoulders...
and mitten tips...
run from the cold!...
an ice crystal fellow...
in mello wly bellows...
stills the silence of ...
twilight he holds!...
from a buttoning note...
off some worn overcoat...
cut under top-hatted eyes!...
hope lives for the nighttime...
with man-in-the-moonshine...
unfolding a soul open wide!...
for deep in white cover... where eventide slumbered... till children awoke it to rise...
this heart of a snowman... first started with small hands... who rolled balls in love so alive!...
