The lulling of a lapping fresh
Water ocean
On the shores of the Indiana National Lakeshore
Bring the eyes easier
And to the full
Thought
Of the Lullaby
Sung by the lake
And it’s deep blue rhythm
In the vast nature
The swell of the water
Brings us back to the life
Before life
In all of it’s glory
It brings us more life
Through the sway of
The release
On the heels of Chicago
And the Wabash
And over the water
From the State of Michigan
Between the light of day
And the next even
There is the whisper
Between
worlds
Where we live all
The day
Long
Upon the sand
Over the time of life
My name is
Etched deep in the depths of the sand
Rolling and blowing
Over time disappearing
Like life
So brittle to behold
So is the name in the sand
Deep but brisk
Moving us from life to life
Generation to generation
Over and over
We go
Depths below
Bellow with the sway
Of the riverside
What the river knows
It will never concede
To know or not
So take what the waters shed
The waters of life
Substance
Take it one moment at a time
With the gentle whispers of the
The river
Upon a light foot
Of feather wind
Born on the evening
And raised in the morning sun
The angles tread
In the words with us
In our spirits
Unseen
Protecting the feeble and
Weary
And powering the peaceful
So take heed today
That we go
Where the angels tread
All else has failed
The world is simply
Upside down
Good is bad
Bad is good
All is against all
In a darkness no one
Understood
Would take us back
To a place of proclaimed hate
For those against us
And as the darkness falls all around
In the quiet
In the depths of a plane night
The wind will remember your name
Blistered shores of sand
Rolling through the colors of life
The forest rich and life full of
A wondering love of life
Blues and greens
Perched on yellow and green
So the bends of the river
So unfiltered
The air is full of
The spirit that is
The land all around
From the beginning
There is hope
Hope to help
Hope to see the other side
Of a world
Spinning in darkness
As the darkness spreads
The words
Fall off the tree
Dead
To those unfinished prayers
For those who need the words
They echo the walls of life
All around
A Cup of Songwriting
