Patterns as changing as kaleidoscope whirls
These are the patterns that keep us in motion
Where colors and shapes collide with our imaginations
And the break in the heart repairs as the fresh nest of the spring bird
Is built with the leavings of autumn past – string, leaves, twigs
Collisions of habit taking us past the limits of what is our light
Where love for ourselves and passion for the inevitable change
Stop us in our tracks as we say, “no, I’ve been here before, I won’t do that.”
Looking for the colors in our life, the whirls, the spins, the rainbows
The edges may be undefined and our boundaries not refined
The contrast between night and light may be blurred
As the gifts that are given are not heard, the words are lost
And when the heart shatters
You simply pour the pieces into a tube
With mirrors that reflect back on the emotion
And witness the beauty of once was

Waiting on a curbstone
All the items of life
That make up exisitence
Travel, pleasure, pain, movement, and time
Just waiting on a curbstone
Packages and containers
Feelings and emotions
Shared endeavors and hardships
Mutual understanding
Waiting on a curbstone
Walking through memory
Isolating problems
Isolating ice queens
Aggrovating recurring dreams
All wait on a curbstone
Sadly accepted change
A needle prick sensation
Dark demoralized desire
Fanned the fire banned the crier tolling his bell on a curbstone
Waiting on a curbstone
Distance doped up frustration
The breakdowns of communication
Self flaggelation
Waiting on a curbstone

Big fluffy dog
Big sheep herd
Lots of energy
Lots of verve
Big fluffy dog
With much to do
Protect all sheep
From becoming coyote food
Big fluffy dog
Feels quite proud
To protect his flock
When predators abound
Big fluffy dog
Sleeps well at night
Big fluffy dog
Enjoys his life
Big fluffy dog
Lies in the yard
Few sheep are left
No reason to guard
Big fluffy dog
No reason to bark
Big fluffy dog
Don’t prowl the dark
Big fluffy dog
With nothing to do
Big fluffy dog
Feels underused
Few sheep graze
While coyotes kill
But big fluffy dog
Don’t have no will
For a big fluffy dog
Needs much to do
So he will witness
A few sheep die

It’s a crime of the heart
When love never starts
It’s a crime of the heart
Doing time where love ain’t a part
Take a shiny coin in your hand
Let it make a fate let it choose your kiss
Take a risky chance or settle down
Grab an opportunity you might miss
It’s a crime of the heart
Maybe break a heart lose a beat or two
Maybe play the part of a fool
But the crime of the heart is when you settle for less
Letting your heart fail to confess
It’s a crime of the heart
Going for a ride on a backwood road
Moving both in time real slow
Started up again with a kiss
Remembering times that you miss
It’s a crime of the heart
Now you’re looking back on the life you live
Wondering if there is something more you can get
Looking for a genie to grant you a wish
Take you back in time to the life you’ve missed
It’s a crime of the heart
Making love in the dark
Ain’t it a shame you started out
With something and you end this way
Crying, longing in the night
Remembering a breakdown on a midnight ride
It’s a crime of the heart
No one can rely on the measure of time
No amount of patience can ease your mind
When you’re feeling low and all you can do
Is hide your head in a hole cause you feel the fool

Yes I love the girl
Cause she knows who I am
Even when she’s far away
She always takes a stand
Yes I love the girl
Cause I know who she is
Even when I’m far away
I still feel her kiss
And your just with some guy
And I’m just with some girl
Even though we’re not together
We fill each others world
And we will always stay
As constant as the stars
Like islands in the stream
Our thoughts are never far
And we will never doubt
What these feelings are all about
And someday when the stars align
Our hearts may beat as one
And we will take to sailing to our islands in the stream

Oh whoa I lost my love
Oh whoa I prayed to heaven above
One day she was here the next day gone
In one day I lost my love
Well she was a pretty little green eyed girl
And I was filled with her green eyed world
I tried to imagine and create a life
Where I’d live my days with a green eyed wife
Oh whoa I lost my love
Oh whoa I prayed to heaven above
One day she was here the next day gone
In one day I lost my love
Well she was a lady who knew her stuff
When she got down I couldn’t get enough
I gave her the freedom to make her way
And while holding her tight she slipped away
Oh whoa I lost my love
Oh whoa I prayed to heaven above
One day she was here the next day gone
In one day I lost my love
Well now she’s upped and moved away
I think of her dearly nearly every single day
That green eyed little beauty who broke my heart
As she packed up her life to make a new start
Oh whoa I lost my love
Oh whoa I prayed to heaven above
One day she was here the next day gone
In one day I lost my love
