Wordz of country...

...food, tradition and culture
Theez draw her in like surgeons suture
Secondz to hourz fused to moments and memoreez
Crave iz deep to unseen lands
Not alone, this lure for new ancient sands
Yearning, lacking, wanting and needing
Haunt that daunts folk of her set
Far off over there beckonz, til unknown iz met

If one...

...gives way to thee unknown
ye will not know wut wood hav been bestown

Mind gets...

...in our way
Said to control everything
When will feat of this show face
Where duz each come from
Look to Fox, Lynx, Grizz and Wolf
Haz sense of their Nature
Trulee evolved frum persecution
Innate since birth
Magnified thru generayshunz
Wut sense of Human
Haz dun the same
Analytical iz not sense
No need fer mankind
Wut we do not understand
We fear
Wut we fear
We destroy
Sense
Make it of that

Become...

...who hav we
so small iz tyme, to just b
Breathe and sip Natures awe
Once wuz so innate
Now serves much debate
Shood we, could we, do we-hav tyme
Wait and push off-so sublime
So short, lost and wasteful
Movin fast, forgettin grateful
Fillz us full, full o' soul
Moments deep, translucent, evin whole
Simpl az quiet----stirs wut iz missed
Volvo, ipod, dsl----are we blissed
Always tryin t' fill t' void
Some get it, some do not
Will they ever, giv em a shot
Start em yung, skip t' toyz
Handz in dirt, heart in breath, no decoyz
Why r ya doin wut yer doin
Feed it, Live it, i mean change it
Equal amongst all, time is and it iz acruin
Help yerself, help them and who we all...
...Become

Wanted...

...to know, if u knew
Much like grain o' sand, over menee decades
Eventually, we will b rolled apart
Until such, constant polish in Lifes current
May our roots between, run deep az Alfalfa and far az Aspen
Winds will blow, even make us weep
Standing tall az Sequoia, never crackin
Wut iz fer yer one to feel
Iz they r, the ownlee one
May her spirit run wyld
Whilst yers iz always...
...Wanted

Now happinz...

...with or without consent
Happinz all round, r, u content
Littl thingz count, do wut matterz
Littl thingz aggrevate, do wut ya hav t'
Past and future, gone and never yet
Now, this breath and that light
Focus, here, iz wut t' get
How t' balance desire and dream
Who iz t' say wut iz balance
Each can ownlee decide, try
Frustrate, oh it can thee
Sand and rippl, mountain and tsunami
No choice fer them, just t' b az they r, no mind
Give or take, live or die, fortune or struggl
Here iz now, take a bow, drop t' juggl
Hope and chance, yer one, will understand
Possiblee give space or take lead, evin lend hand
Whyl awake or sleep, sleep or awake...
...Now happinz

Had no idea...

...this day, wuz hiz breath of last
Sky full o' grey and drizzl, much lyke six past
Sleepin less, searchin and sniffin moor
Packin it full, kernalz, grass and stalks
Energee needed fer upcomin walks
Velvet gon, tips, to a polish
Quit encroachin or i will abolish
Fox, Raven, Jay and Wren
All will vizit, when hiz day haz been
She looks on az they all vizit
Scene iz so...jist so xquizit
Never felt or saw it, Life this deep
Forever and ever, its all hers, hers t' keep
Chutney, pie and verde sauce
Dun one once, other not before
With her now, so much so, seems lyke lore
Blood flows no more, meats off bone
Choppin, grindin and packin, Life haz chainged
One shot, one shot to the heart
Neither knew...
...Had no idea
