A clarinet someplace softly played

As she was walkin’ by the arcade
She heard the melody rise and fade, the sun was coming up

She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

De-gloomifying

I’m in a bad mood, so instead of sulking in my bed (which I was sleeping in an hour ago and awoke with a scotcharoo bella’ache) I’m going through my room and throwing out all of the things that give me negative feelings. I now feel fabulous knowing that my life just got that much less complicated (and I don’t have as much to move)!


“Somewhere down the road
When I’m whole
When the rains are done
When I’ve reaped all I’ve sown…”

It’s all in patience
It’s all with time
And I’ll grow.

Sweet Anew

Sleep, sweet streets streaking silver engine
And drive, the mile high lights ring alive
And sit, a dawn sinks closer yet
And pray, recollection met the day
And ride, tracks stretching to horizon eyes
And fly, skies drinking peaceful ease
And fall, land softly slow into
Sleep, sleep slowly, meet sweet anew.
