for easter this year… :)
for easter this year…
in ways the mind cannot define…
through feelings too close to call…
the widest fit into a small bit inside…
lifts the whole of life up with the soul!…
so fully alive beyond motion confined…
within time’s limitations and space…
revival finds the being entwined…
with creation’s pure embrace!…
to rise above deadening horizons…
made by man’s thoughts in his brain…
to observe a sight man sets his eyes on…
and discern it no further by worldly gain!…
perpetual waves raise the core of a being…
to places untouched by manmade flaw…
our great almighty’s love in keeping…
does this with christ for one’n’all!…
(thank you so much for being!)…

(imagine what we’d see)…
is there something i could do to give…
you something to help you go on and live…
what would happen if i’d be you…
and you’d be my friend…
imagine what we’d see…
if we’d be each other…
you and me…
young and old…
smart and dumb…
meek and bold…
fat and thin…
rich and poor…
you’d be in my shoes…
and me in yours…
am i the black…
when you are white…
am i the wrong…
while you are right…
asking over and over again…
if we knew where it started…
maybe we could see an end…
to us as enemies…
in different homes of experience…
with different frames of mind…
all i want to know is why i’m looking…
for something i can’t find…
imagine what we’d see…
if we’d be each other…
you and me…
young and old…
smart and dumb…
meek and bold…
fat and thin…
rich and poor…
you’d be in my shoes…
and me in yours…

bob dylan live… :)
bob dylan live…
embracing life’s passions in truth’s timeless fashions…
through music’s wide routes for the soul…
unique styles converge inside neat notes’n’words…
while creation’s prime elements roll!…
vibrations burst out around heartfelt pulsations…
increasing the range of one’s being…
living the present with bona fide essence…
the flow of momentum keeps deepening!…
to strike a match or hit a nerve…
see that catch or try to swerve…
lose the watch and find some time…
all in brilliant rhythm and rhyme!…
start a scene to stop behind one…
let it go to get it done…
to face head-on or cover the bases…
a fine line too for changing places!…
stand a chance or fall in love…
below the belt or rise above…
a day of reckoning in a moment of truth…
and the wisdom of old in the wonder of youth!…
leap for joy or read it and weep…
a happy hour could cry one to sleep…
fully alive and right on dead center…
leaving impressions on any who enter!…
his true works of art and such great ways they play…
now meets forever on many a day!…
sounds from the heart and just how the soul thrives…
through things that come home seeing bob dylan live!…
‘n’how!… wow!…

gazan holocaust...
gazan holocaust!...
lives and homes lost...
israel closes in then fires...
overfilled with killing desire!...
the oppressor forgot its old heartbreaking woes...
how it feels being persecuted by an unyielding foe!...
now it’s similarly become what it once had condemned...
destroying innocent people and urgent necessities for them!...
~~~
waking up from propaganda’s daze...
it’s startling to awaken from propaganda’s great brainwashing...
feels like closed attic windows suddenly opened to fresh air...
where breezes unwrap layers of antique trained thoughts...
and clear the mind’s view to time’s lockboxes there!...
how different that huge government trunk now looks...
its material once hidden under thick publicity-stunt dust...
sits cracked at its hinges snapped by rigged rules and hooks...
unable to maintain weak disguises of real democracy and trust!...
pages in schoolbooks and newspapers stack up in strewn shame...
as juggled facts and half-truths no longer hold enough weight...
unveiled scales of misinformation reveal pieces of a game...
played to keep we-the-people from controlling our fate!...
established ideas get rattled when facing truer realizations...
steadfast loyalty falls sick on learning it supported hypocrisy...
heartbreak lives with what’s left after deception drains a nation...
while new awareness inside starts to form a far better occupancy!...

a neat birthday to bob dylan!... :)
(a buncha neat tunes)…
a buncha neat tunes got together to meet…
on a cornerstone of music and poetry streets…
their composer’s next birthday came rolling in…
bringing heartfelt vibrations to celebrate things!…
from far and nearby a wide range of songs sing…
a repertoire for life’s timeless voice to join in…
rings of truth harmonize their scales of tone…
balance outweighing to let ‘em be known!…
keynotes fill details as rhythmic beats soar…
throughout ballads n’sonnets n’verses n’more…
pouring musicules forward in sound for the soul…
beyond dance halls’n’ballrooms’n’band sets’n’all!…
who builds endless windows ‘n’ doors into songs?…
who gives tunes this motion to keep moving on?…
who is it that gave them unique ways to play?…
the best of wishes to bob dylan each day!…
~~~
(he got the neatest thing for his birthday again!…
younger!… bob dylan’s neat song “my back pages”!)…

as heaven itself surrounds and abounds...
it sees man crawl on bended knee...
its hands outstretched from hidden ground...
bring gifts to lift souls to their feet...
in shadows men find their faces behind...
heaven's light casts over flickers of love...
it lingers to shine in the recess of time...
to guide men's sight to that glow above...
‘dwell not ye in the dark’ it cries...
‘though time may shade its window pane...
the curtain drawn upon your eyes...
will open up in life’s true name!’...
still briefness of what seems so long...
plays swift tricks with human hearts...
to keep the mind of man fixed on...
that finish line from where he starts...
as thoughts may tread that trodden path...
to follow where they've been before...
footprints sunk in manmade wrath...
soon lose their way to evermore...
what abides in worldly sanity...
is no more than a given ploy...
to tie down tombs of gravity...
and lower moments from rising joy...
christ speaks out ‘it’s never too late...
don't let what isn't deceive what is’...
though some demand you're doomed to die...
heaven’s sigh bears not this gloomy bliss!...
so as the wraps of worldly fare...
hide the truth ‘neath blinded lie...
to misjudge love dead lying there...
this trap by men shall be surprised...
for every soul touched inside-out...
who reaches heaven in its realm...
christ defines without a doubt...
the almighty's hands upon the helm!...
(through love and truth eternal...
to god’s universal word...
where the human being in each of us...
reaches all of us on earth!)...

somewhere folks grow happy… somewhere folks run sad…
somewhere lives a fine line… dividing traits they have…
sometimes something’s taken… making room enough to add…
another blessing springing… to change the loss they had…
a man stands in the doorway… a light hangs in that hall…
shades upon a window… raise from halfway drawn…
time relays a message… life has come to call…
good night to fading darkness… good morning to the dawn!…
somewhere hearts pour open… somewhere hearts stay closed…
somewhere lives a fine line… declaring traits they hold…
sometimes something’s taken… leading up to heavy woes…
the nature of most kinfolk… forget those words they’re told…
a man stands in the doorway… a light hangs in that hall…
shades upon a window… raise from halfway drawn…
time relays a message… life has come to call…
good night to fading darkness… good morning to the dawn!…
somewhere love’s root touches… somewhere truth tunes in…
somewhere moves a fine line… to how it all begins…
sometimes something’s taken… as god almighty gives…
his son’s renewed creation… and path for souls to live…
a man stands in the doorway… a light hangs in that hall…
shades upon a window… raise from halfway drawn…
time relays a message… life has come to call…
good night to fading darkness… good morning to the dawn!…

( a world and more of travels )...
a world and more of travels...
ride the realms of here and now...
some roads are so congested...
others barely tred somehow...
passengers... pedestrians...
at times they intersect...
through chance's navigator...
or some journey they select...
and when those crossroads happen...
there's alot that may occur...
though that's not saying circumstance...
shall meet as might infer...
perhaps that's why i'm grateful...
that our paths have come to touch...
we get to view these moments...
and yet still we see so much!...
( so gee ) ...
is giving and taking...
all my own making?...
did i create...
love and hate?...
is what you see...
left up to me?...

(innocent air)...
innocent air...
before aroma comes...
for something more there...
a good aroma?...
or a bad aroma?...
every nose knows...
their smell tells them so...
innocent air...
until there is smell...
then noses go sniffing...
for scents of heaven or hell...
~~~~~~~
(a nose poked on the window pane )...
a nose poked on the window pane...
a tail in the till...
a lookout up and down the hall...
to see what time can kill...
- lonely hinges creaking...
whispers creeping in...
leering paws in motion...
filing midnight claws to thin...
a foot race for the door mouse...
past a flying bug that's floored...
a clean sweep by the chimney bat...
climbing bareback up onboard...
deafened towards a tendency...
that full blown fear hears best...
these lessers of a great unknown...
prey on their sleeping guest...
feast and famine mingle...
on a single handcut tray...
where entertaining treasures...
were laid out to grace the day...
the keeper dreams above his sheets...
under darkened homespun threads...
while a heist amid nocturnal life...
plays thief around his head...
dawn breaks off accomplice shade...
as deeds retreat to hide...
among the light that blinds the way...
to shadows from another side...
then when the window's opened...
and the till's spilled out to air...
the keeper counts his blessings!...
for what is and isn't there!...

(essence warms a welcome mat)...
- essence warms a welcome mat
in yet another step...
through shades of day... 'neath dark of night...
on lengthless time... in a moment's light...
from all that goes... to whatever stays...
while bringing close... so faraway...
in laying low... and raising high...
nature's walk... a passer-by...
a step inside... onto live...
into life... love to give...

(grandpa)...
i guess this is the last i'll see ya...
they're burying you today...
so wishin' you were still alive...
wouldn't mean much... anyway...
your life here is over...
all i have are memories...
and grandpa... that's the best thing...
you could ever leave to me...
grandpa... it's you i came to see...
grandpa... the things ya told to me...
the time ya pushed that outhouse o'er...
when you were still in school...
and got the teacher mad at you...
ya broke the golden rule...
that little girl... a'sittin' there...
what a way for her to fall...
miss goody shoes... she cried the blues...
when ya pushed down those four walls...
grandpa... it's you i came to see...
grandpa... the things ya told to me...
ya didn't have much... growin' up...
but ya always had enough...
like that bottle'a booze in the cornfield...
that ya wish ya hadn't a'touched...
and the times ya took the huckster load...
and rode with your mother to town...
sellin' what ya grew at home...
workin' sun-up... til sun-down...
grandpa... it's you i came to see...
grandpa... the things ya told to me...
that geezer down in wilmington...
who followed ya home one night...
and shot the breeze on the boardin'-house porch...
oh you remembered him... alright...
he dwelt on the height'a laziness...
with his fast-talk... and funny jokes...
and in your mind... he was that one-of-a-kind...
found in the stories ya hear from old folks...
grandpa... it's you i came to see...
grandpa... the way ya were with me...
when i knew ya... you were already old...
and i did my best to steer clear...
and not til the times that we sat down and talked...
did i find out you were such a dear...
the silence of a straight-laced man...
who scared me half to death...
became my friend... and now in his end...
he's laid down... to his rest...
grandpa... it's you i came to see...
grandpa... the way ya were with me...

(gather 'round the fire boys)...
gather 'round the fire boys...
gather all around...
tell ya a story of the bold of the old...
and how they brought the devil down!...
elson jones was a mighty man...
the meanest man in town...
rode the thunder on his way down yonder...
to track the devil down!...
leroy parks wore spurs of sparks...
and kicked the dust to hell...
beckoned the wind to follow him...
and snare the devil's spell!...
johnny sands had a trigger hand...
and a glean tucked to his belt...
quick to lick with his magic trick...
that the devil never felt!...
sonny black played a one-eyed-jack...
while his ace hid in the hole...
showdown time was on the line...
and the devil lost it all!...
lefty simms stood six shots in...
by the west end of the bar...
gutted five down the devil's hide...
and the devil staggered far!...
cowboy joe rode the rodeo...
his lasso framed the sky...
remember well the day it fell...
and the devil's hands were tied!...
these outlaw men brought the devil in...
the sheriff locked the door...
the hangman's noose was none too loose...
and the devil walked no more!...
gather ' round the fire boys...
gather all around...
tell ya a story of the bold of the old...
and how they brought the devil down!...

(how much is a moment worth

how much is a moment worth?...
when it's sent from up above...
how much does a moment mean?...
when it gives our lives its love!...
how far does a moment go?...
if it travels hand by hand...
how far can a moment reach?...
if it's shared by every man!...
how deep can a moment touch?...
when it's beckoned by that call...
how deep will a moment feel?...
when it's in the hearts of all!...
how long will a moment live?...
if it lasts the length of time...
how long does a moment take?...
to be both yours and mine!...

- (abby)...
abby loved to swing herself...
'twas not for others to see...
she sang to her soul and smiled inside...
that tire strung to the tree...
what a joy to feel the breeze...
trickling through her hair...
each whisper of wind tangling the strands...
but abby didn't care...
in that early dusk of day...
the coolness did unfold...
a tingling to her arms and legs...
but abby wasn't cold...
so lightly did her little feet...
treadle the puddle of ground...
dusting her toes with a magic...
that others hadn't found...
above a bird blew music...
which nestled in abby’s ear...
a solo of nature’s symphony...
that others didn't hear...
in the midst a tiny twig...
fell to abby’s head...
a leafy halo of happiness...
which others would have shed...
alone with all of creation...
her swinging with the flow...
was of a simple... easy... delight...
that others didn't know...
dusk fell into darkness...
as her mother led the way...
back home to early bath and bed...
but abby showed no dismay...
for all the love she discovered in life...
was there for her to find...
she found what so few others see...
though abby was born blind ! ...

- for wikileaks and the u.s.a.!...
in a land where a country's high leaders lay claim...
united states people stand feeling close pain...
their ears hear those big shots come up with excuses...
but a quick look around soon reveals where the truth is!...
from vacant lot store fronts to more soldiers' graves...
home planted sale signs hide mailbox names!...
college loan paybacks tack federal debt...
while industrial workers learn of layoffs they'll get!...
from stress-filled environments to lone chilly rooms...
paycheck to paycheck can't face future doom!...
already our seniors and jobless and ill...
view less options left with so few dollar bills!...
this is our country folks!... see for yourselves!...
the majority are us and most everyone else!...
struggling with hardships under all those in charge!...
as governmental misbehavior runs rampant at large!...
why is it our leaders dislike these truths shown?...
is it not we the people who deserve rights to know?!...
when did government's first duty become serving the government?!...
and not justly the people for whom they were sent!...
how can leaders say 'patriot' means being patriotic to them?...
when they won't play by the rules a constitution defends!...
instead it is them who lack the patriotism...
to stop their own underhand tactics which bring further bad things!...
and how can leaders use terrorism as an overall reason?...
to keep their own bully methods hidden somewhere in secret?!...
they intimidate unfairly to sway public opinion...
and steer clear of truth needed to fix dilemmas we're in!...
this is our country folks!... see for yourselves!...
the majority are us and most everyone else!...
struggling with hardships under all those in charge!...
as governmental misbehavior runs rampant at large!...
how can government's deception be the best way to rule?...
when that curve of its wrist bends most fair and square tools!...
hence without accountability it'll feed a free-for-all!...
as our country's representatives wheel and deal above the law!...
it's no surprise that the government abhors wikileaks!...
truth might hinder officials from doing as they please!...
and make it more difficult to reassure u.s. citizens...
not to fret government's business and leave it all up to them!...
but we must tend to our nation and future well-being!...
to end unjust procedures and the policies we're seeing!...
they insist we believe in things proven untrue!...
now we need these disclosures to help build anew!...
this is our country folks!... see for yourselves!...
the majority are us and most everyone else!...
struggling with hardships under all those in charge!...
as governmental misbehavior runs rampant at large!...
support wikileaks!... http://wikileaks.ch
the best of wishes'n'ways'n'todays for fair'n'square and car ing !... :)

thank you so much for the truth edward snowden!...
thank you edward snowden for showing us facts...
that intelligence and terrorism work not as they say...
that officials still lie trying to keep fabrications intact...
even if faced with the truth they persist in duped ways!...
they lodge unaccountable policies as a snag for bad guys...
we must lose basic freedoms so terrorists can’t prevail...
but the evidence actually indicates it to be otherwise...
that draining our liberties won’t help see foes fail!...
private firms track our own computers and phones...
using surveillance that’s ready to maneuver our data...
being innocent today could look suspicious tomorrow...
or as unreliable as our rulers’ feigned words on a platter!...
oaths of office break silently disregarding our constitution...
to uphold and defend it succumbs to deceptive security...
behind vacated laws hide lawless order distributions...
as democracy’s deterioration welcomes obscurity!...
thank you so much for the truth edward snowden!...
~~~
in full support of wikileaks!...
each time news brings things of unfairness from big shots...
and more lives and resources lay wasting away somewhere...
may your conscience be the wikileaks inside your own mind...
to either expose to you a hypocrite or show a human who cares!...
