Share your story
From failure
To glory
Mornings evenings
How the birds sing
Make my ears ring
With hope and truth
The story of you
Become a bell of monumental strength
The life lessons you have gained
Contained inside and share with me
Your Story
A concern for the flippant
Out of control
Not quite with it
Skillful dismantling
Of the building hesitant
Space made imminent
I act with we
We must act manually
Connect rather than annoy
Hold hands and stand tall
Instead of hates deploy
The word we use to unite
Instead of looking for a fight
In a year 2016
Of light
Falafel evenings
Mediterranean food past midnight
Staying alright
In Washington DC
Capitol eternally
Approaching life literally
Past 11:30
On Thursday
Or Friday
Any day
The truth in struggle
The struggle of truth
A late night inspiration
Evenings in the capital
Of this beautiful nation
The Unity Collective USA
Spreading the message of hope
We hope to get across
Free the rock
From underneath the moss
Evening lights on the Capitol
Understandable
Building blocks we muster up
With every lyric cut
From the cloth of humanity
To reach out certainly
To the world
The truculent type
Eager to get in on the fight
Angered with quick dissatisfaction
Moving hands into fists
Is the only reaction
Abounding in frustration
Lack of understanding
Spectacular use of vernacular
Steaming at the collar
No hopes of understanding
The only mechanism deployed
Is the hope to destroy
The long term approach
Rather than manifesting a life coach
Is to ravage a nation
From sea, to hill, to plantation
Rip the goods from the earth
In one giant selfish prolonged gestation
Rather than to swim in the new waters
See a new view
Understating the chance of
Understanding me and you
This marvelous blunder
Is abounding from side to side
Unearthed down below the snow
As the weight pulled up from below
Seek to understand rather than plunder
Or else we all go under
A drab afternoon
Middle of the eastern seaboard
Under the heavy veil of fog and dim light
Gray folds over gray folds over gray
All the way to the sky
A wandering mist makes it’s way
Up and down the streets
Tightly knit to the snow unearthed
High temperatures transfer snow to air
The thirsty grass has had it’s fill
The winter storm gave more
Than tranquil
Winter rendered null under a small
Breaking orange sky
Car lights float like fairies in the lasting light
Yet a likely feeling so familiar
Nostalgic and driven
Car zippy
Zipping by
Tuesday skies
The challenge of growth on the road
Learning life’s lessons new
Without letting my old life go
Holding my hands to the side
Of this old lifeboat
The longer miles we roam
The further we go
The more we grow
Unknown of the life ahead
One foot in front of the other
Deliberate moves
Keep us alive
In love
Getting in at 3
Snow packed streets
Of a cheap
AirBnB
Parking in industrial lots
Making a bed a home
When we are on the road
Unknown
But not alone
Monday makes a good intro
To the new week ahead
Many miles on the road we left
Written songs all along
Sing out in hopes of the one
One more show
One more road to go
One more turn
We deal with the yearning
Of mind
But we stay committed
To our professional line
Winter storm roads
Up North we go
Winter Storm Jonas
Feared on the road
But here we depart
Living in a hotel is an art
A unity car
My wife
And I
He was a polite General
In a dirty fight
Won’t ask too many questions
Making sure his men were alright
He would stop into the local shop
But keep all conversations brief
Man of few words
Nothing left to waste
Keeping his work straight in time
He would handle even a bumpy road
Or the occasional attack
With no weight but his country
On his back
He would nod his head and thank
His fellow men
For the life they lead
With an extention of his hand
He was a man nondiscript
Defined by action
Rather than inaction
