TO ANDY
(2013)
For a friend fighting cancer
Driving down the road, The song, “Let It Be” Came on the radio. Taking me back to Various scenarios.
Soft gray clouds pass slowly by, Soon they will release a gift of r… Trees are shedding their leaves As they turn red, orange and yello… Signaling the squirrels to collect…
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
In the blink of an eye It’s a different scene On the big movie screen So easy to get absorbed In the story line of time.
Life is but a dream, our fantasies, spill, like liquid tears that pool and vaporize into the air.
Inhale, the arms float up, Exhale, the arms float down, Namaste, at the heart. Inhale, the body bends, Hands at top of mat,
It’s a billion stars moving and co… While we sleep. It’s one miracle after another and… We do not take the leap. It’s the great heave of nature
One year since I traveled to paradise. One year since I laughed and danced with friends. One year since I watched
Red cardinal dancing On white snow, How regal you appear With your cloak of red, How it cheers my heart
If I could go back in time I would fix my wrongs, I would sing new songs And mend all hate And open the gate
Misty fog floating through bare trees. Cold waves of wind coarse through the woods whistling as they go
Pale blue moon Of August, Peeking behind The clouds, Luminous,
Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often
Walking down the dirt path, Sounds drift on the air, Birds chirping, leaves Rustling, dogs barking. Interconnection of life
Rolling painted deserts of the west. Shrub bushes dot sloping hillsides. Relentless sun heats up
