dancing with the angels ~ dedicated to James Lee Hargreaves

when I look up in the heavens
sometimes…. you are dancing
with your friends
as if you are showing me
how to cut loose
how to chill
how to have some fun
no doubt ~ livin’ ain’t easy
it can get you all wrapped up
in the everyday bullshit
where life passes by
without notice or appreciation

so look up into the sky
look across
the deep blue sea
along the horizon
notice that pebble
on the ground
as the little boy
gives it a kick
feel the wind
as it blows the flag on the pole
and you may see….. like me
the clouds dancing
with their friends the angels

more able

how distinctive
your presence
this flowering radiance
which illuminates
all around you
with a willingness
to live vibrantly
without hesitation
worry…. doubt
guilt or fear

your splendor
makes me feel free
of my shackles
uninhibited   ~
more able
to bloom fully
become  ~  who I am

really now

the beauty in me is really there
if you care to see it

but really now
if I’m the one  ~
do you really
have to look that hard for it….
not really
you’ll just smile suddenly
without really knowing why

~really~  I kid you not….

’cause I’ve added
a little flavor into your life
a certain kind of zest….
that’s really  ~  really yummy

whatever….

the beauty in me is really there
if you care to see it

as this pair

even though
I must admit
I’m very sad
I gotta …
let her go
set her free
if that’s
what it takes
the way
its gotta be
‘cause
when it comes
to her
I ain’t that tough
she makes me
fuckin’ crazy

please
please
save me Lord
I love her so
as this pair
we’re magnificent
~  apart
we’re less
than spectacular
