Where are you now Charlie Brown
Where can you be found
Are you
Still around
Beetle Bailey
Used to see you daily
Haven’t heard much from you lately
Hope you know that I miss you greatly
Although you know its hard
Still send my regards
If you can find the time
I’ll still drop you a line
And I still
l wonder if its your fault or mine
Maybe someday
We’ll catch up on the holidays
How did we get so far away
How did we get to where we are now
guess I’ll see you
sooner or later
guess I’ll see you
in the funny papers

Chase Smoke

Sunrise through a lemon sky
Pacific Forest Fires
Aching in our north-easternly bones
Thinkin’ all them monarch’s must be tired
And your eldest granddaughter
Listing off butterfly facts
There’s a damp nostalgic wind
Pushing them birch branches back.
Chasing another song
Running into the words
Turning another page
Charming bees and watching birds
Dial that radio down
That’s enough for today
We can make our own sound
We can chase the smoke away
Daily newstream
flows through our ears
Something like seven months now
They’re saying it could be years
Rearing tiny children
All theirs joys and wrath
Trading some membership
For make belief and bubble-baths
Chasing another song
Running into the words
Turning another page
Charming bees and watching birds
Dial that radio down
That’s enough for today
We can make our own sound
We can chase the smoke away
Let’s go to the park
Let’;s go and gather
Let’s cover our mouths
And see each other
Lets go to the roads
Lets walk together
Lets lay our hurt down
And dream of brighter weather

Let Down

I don’t want to let you down
I just want to make you proud
If you stick around
We can see what can be found
Don’t succumb to the culminating doom
Lets make a stand
Before there’s nothing left we can do
Plant a tree
Plant a flower for the honey bee
Reuse everything you can throw nothing into your sea
If it’s not up to you and to me then lets take it and make it up to you and to me
Then let’s take it and make it
Please don’t let this be the end of some continuity

You have/ the beat of my heart
You are/ the sweetest syrup
“Too Far”, I’m calling from the horizon
Im with you Im with you oh don’t you forget it

Copper coins
Wishing on your bedroom floor
I watch you, I love you,
Both hands on the wheel now/
I reach/to sing/and ride along with you!
You are my highway man/
Here comes…. /king George’s men
Blind folded/Blindfolded/Blindfold/Blind…
This knot, plaited it with wishes for you on it!
You are/ my brightest sunrise
Your glow/ is pinning up the sky
You smile/ I smile/ You charm me silly
I pray for your safe return

Missing History

Right, write what about what is left
Next where to begin
Memories of trajectories
Realms unknown
New to discover I knew I would uncover
A mystery of a missing history
But what part could I play
What could I say
When this condition was keeping me day to day
Recovery constantly wondering what it could be about
What it truly is that I want to be
Inspired retired fired rehired back again whats happening and where are we now
How did we get here and where will we go
No I don’t know
But what could you really do if it was up to you and you had a plan and everybody else would understand not to demand or command but what would work together as these changing patterns of weather make us realize that we could all be doing something better than to just sit back post like whatever
Think you’re clever think you’re better think you got the most followers which makes you the most popular which makes you the most famous
When you can hide behind a screen
No one will ever see that you can’t just let it be
Never remember a memory
Right, write

Come True

Everything you want to do
Everything you have to do
Everything they ask of you
How you make it all come true
Wake up and you go to school
Wake up and you go to work
Wake up and you go to bed
You’re not dead
Are you? I dunno .. go
When I was a little child
Always wanted to know
Where did I come where do I go
I’m a little older now
Still trying to do my best
Start my day by getting dressed, I guess
If I die before I wake
What’ll come of what I didn’t make
What’ll come of what I didn’t do
Did I make it all come true
(did I make it all)
Come true
You do
You do
You do
Now you Make it all come true
How you make it
Now you make it
Take it
Everything you do
Everything you do
It’s up to you
Take it go
Come true
Come true
Come true

January Thaw
Fields of rolling fog
we wait for our sun
to cast her light on everyone
Stranger here am I
watching for a smoke signal
its cold up in these hills
despite the glow of our telephones
rooted here I sing
songs that bare no audience
this tree fell alone
resting with the stream and stone
springtime find me here
wading through my motherhood
cast me your longest strongest line
Pull me into your sunshine
Children hold me close
show me all your wilderness
when skies are grey
your little light keeps me warm another day
your little light keeps me warm another day
Prairies way out
My golden ancestry
Fields of laughter and tears
Flattened by the passing years

If I may pause for just one moment
Suppose the last words to leave my lips were my last
The last thing that I said and everything left unsaid
These are the things that linger in my mind
While im here I hope to give the good, that I can
Pass on Something real
that could serve
at least
one
star fish
sometimes I find myself pondering the star fish
would I throw you back into the sea
the one from that old parabol
how’d it feel if you were me
at least
one
star fish
just like you and me

my dear friend
just wanted to send
kind thoughts words
before you or reaches the known end
my dear friend I don’t believe in the end
I believe in the infinity, the eternity, of you and me
My dear friend
Until we meet again
Lets do our best at this dance
And carry on
As best we can
With love,
From a friend

Save Mars

We’ve been here before
We will be here again
In this moment we are one
As we always have been and always will be
In this moment
There is nothing but this moment
Walk with me a while
Let’s share a veiled smile
We don’t have to go far
Walk with me a while
Let’s share a real smile
So long as we know who we are
Who we are
I listen to the world turn on my radio
I watch it all on my screen
Sometimes it seems but a dream
Sometimes I just don’t know what it means
But I’m tearing at the seams it seems this time
I don’t know why
I don’t know how to care
So much out there
So much to do
Well I guess it’s up to me and you
You and me
In this century
Maybe we could
Maybe we could
Maybe we could
Maybe we could
Save the planet
Save the stars
Save the moon
Save mars
Save the sun at the centre and the rest of the perimeter
But watch out
Watch out
Watch out for the black holes
The inevitable pull of the black holes
The inevitable pull
