Maddieness

Pulling tears into the real

At the mention of a name

Feeling mostly out of time

Two lovers rehab game

Hold this world as memory

Some day one day to be healed

Futures here no guarantees

Hearts pushed across the field

In windows always passing

On a train around the sun

We can watch without a whisper

Or jump the tracks to run

Maddiness afflicts us

Calling out another home 

Walking well away the pond

Beyond our time to roam

Hold a second longer

Best to think it through

Seeking brighter angels

As each is made of two

Some are lost like flowers

Ever blasted to the wind

Maddiness is held to us

Til' time and gods resind

Coop Rooster

Early times on given days

I crow inside the coop

Slowly checking overtime

Just dealing with the poop

Corn fed packs of heart attacks

Clucking set to wild

Sleep until they feather up

Then unwinds each child  

Some eggs rise to rumble

From the nightshades of their wars

Some rise slowly raking

To the simplest of their chores

Scratching for a future clear

Plucking at some eyes

Ranging round their feeding ground

Dodging ducks and flys

All the senior mommas run

To the crow of their own clocks

Lesser birds are shooed away

Far beyond the cocks

Some eggs will be cracking

Be they soft or hard inside

Each must face the morning 

Til they break to stroll outside

Intercession only

In each flying feathered fact

When hen clucking turns to squawking 

When hen peace turns to attack

I stand tall for the place I stand

In this paradise for pickin'

Think of me coop rooster

Master mentor to the chicken

Respect

Respect young girls until they know better

Respect young boys when they do

Therons Rose

If

 I Can 

One Day 

Only See Her Dance

Ablaze To The Boards

 In A Perfect Field

Great Gravity 

For 

The Loving Chance

To Be 

Who Has Seen

Bowed

And 

Healed.

Sailing Soul

Each one sails a bit of soul

As the tides of the lords of industry flow

Win or perish as you sink or row

Reality dictates who must go

At mercy's start or knowing and slow

It and all will fade or grow

Plans and action require change

Like a tall ships ocean range

Miracles blooming left and right

Blossoms holding to the light

Perennials all inside the cage

Toasting each survival stage

If of prayer we are to ponder

May you please know love and wonder 

As long as we are gifted goals

Pray Industrious lords rise 

Worthy of tides 

And

Sailing for their souls

Red Hat Rose

Barrelling Rose rode rodeo

And the RedHat Rose was she

Racing around 

The Barrelling ground

On her mustang Cherokee 

Rose's name of RedHat came

From a family hand me down

Half Irish/Scots American 

Half Apachi Prairie Indian

Rose's redhat whooped the town

Practicing and watching 

Near as soon as Rose could ride

Grandma Redhat racing mama

Her heart pulsing with the drama

Rose was racing from first stride

Every broom to Rose a mustang

Every mud pit was the track

But her life of course

Required a horse

When Cherokee gave up her back

Barrellin Rose rode Cherokee

To the best time at the worlds

Every witness to that day

Spoke of greatness and to say

Barrellin's truly fastest girls

Houston, Vegas, Blackfoot, Dodge

Rose Judged throughout the west

As her famous red hat rises

To the victors tears and prizes

And their timed runs near her best

Finally one would earn the crown

In the Red Hats final year

Grandaughter Rose

On her Twinkletoes

Ran a fifteen five I hear

Passing down the mantle

Roses rodeo could now close

To the figure 8's next highness

Barrel racing bloodline's finest

And our Red Hats newest Rose

-Hermit King-

Sea Rose

Wisdom is a lovely blue green rose 

Near a blue green shore 

Mid a blue green sea 

Of a blue green grassland

On a blue green day 

Under a blue green sky

To a blue green song

In a blue green rain

The Point

Mustangs fill the mornin' light

Sunlight flares the sky

Gods of sandstone guard the wall

Wonders tell us why

Ragamuffin rainbows rise

Arrows set to part

Ripping youth from what is old 

Talons in my heart

Moments to reset a bond

Stardust's flit too soon

Roaming now beyond the bend

Faint echoes of a tune

 

Seize and trust a steady hand

Truth lies in the eyes

Firm to all the stable law

No rush and no surprise 

Stay a bit to know your roll

Of what and why become

Saddle up this washboard road

Ride with me and run

Time takes many everywhere

All of us may fly

Let us prize what gifts we've won

And proudly say goodby

Framing A Boy

To raise a boy right

By his bed fill four frames

That he may be wise

Painted in the first

Vivid colors of his roots

 A past that grew him

Second a window

Visions far beyond the glass

Clarity through pane  

A fire built third

Warming his first leap to light

And all can be done 

Then gods greatest gift

Realities truest test 

A mirror set last 

To raise a girl wise

O'Mara

Homes so far away

Youth pledged to the commander  

Molded to command

Paradox of war

Battle trained to win and kill

Preferring not to 

Retributions arm

Swift justice for the fallen

Vengeance on evil

Hope of innocence 

Democracy's purveyor 

Armageddons voice

Peace through loaded hand

Alert in sun or shadow

Named to granite walls

The function freedom

Horror a destination

Our name is soldier
