At such times as these
When men are dropping
To their knees
Those of belief
Come together

For those of little faith
It may be too late

I’m not in
To prolonged grief
Suffering and pain
Can drive you insane
How can living be a sin?

Not that I want to live forever
But, for now
I beg to stay
Finding the way
Smiles and happiness
Bring the bliss

Loving love

The Fountain Of Youth
Is youth
The zest for life
That comes from the innocence
Of truth, trust and eccentricity

Those of like mind
Birds of a feather
Let’s bring it together
The kind that are kind
May we find
The power
The energy
The electricity
To help offset
The hypocrisy
Of humanity

The mountains and the ocean seem to have special qualities that attract humans. The following series is about just that.

Lyrics
Standing in the ocean
Floating neck deep
With anticipation
Of the energy seep

apply it to yourself?]

LYRICS
Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….

Going down to Downey’s
Plenty of players there
With the spirit to experiment
What sound can be found?

Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….

Take some singers to Ringers
Bring more to the dance floor
Give a look that’s meant
To ask if there’s more

Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You’ll improve my sight
Catch a glimpse
Through the crowd
We’ll sing our song
We’ll sing it loud
With astral dancing
Made for romancing
Embrace the space
While we have the chance

inspired by Mike Garrity, David Hawkins, Eric Laos, Jayar Bass and all the other souls at the party

I’ve seen the strangest things
These past nights
The brightest lights
Happening hues
Giving life clues

I’ve heard the strangest things
These last days
Bands on the banks
Playing the hippie blues
Catching the early rays
With a community born
From love and harmony

They’ve become kin to me
We’re starting to see
What we can do
When we care to share

Everyone sings:
We’re happy to be
In each other’s company
To catch the thrill
Of the soul spill

It’s looking like you’ll help me see
Why they like empathy
At the price of you and me

Exploitation
Is what I want
If it’s an explanation
Exploit me

Now, if I could just
Get it through to me
Without giving out
What we’re all about….

Then, the intuition
Will prevail

There is that
That you are
That makes us
… outrageous
It has to do
With how delicious

Thank you

The story is true, though the names have been changed to protect the guilty. I wrote to my lawyer, “Radical change happened in my life… but, I’m still a writer… and would appreciate any help with editing that my friends may offer. It’s my plan to explain to you what has happened over the past four years.”

My lawyer responded, “DON’T DO IT. YOU HAVE BEEN FORWARNED!!!!”

In –The End
by Daniel Brouse

There are no words to say
That’ll ever be O.K.
A host of barristers will complain
Try to claim that I’m insane
They’ll say, “Put no words into play.”
That’d be A-ok
Except…
I’ve something to say

After all,
How long will I have the chance to voice my choice
How long can I stand behind my stance
How long before I meet my maker
Then,
Only to be a liar, poser or faker?

The child in me
Gives my mind an eye
And, I…
Am able to see

The child in me
Gives my mind an eye
And, I…
Am able to see
There are no words to say
No music to play
Nothing… that’ll convey…
What you’ve do to me

Let the light shine in
Into your heart
Happiness your mistress
Let the light shine on
Onto your soul
For you can’t outlast your past
In “–The End”
You’re all you were

Rise my child
Your seat is saved here in the end
And, Lord knows
You’ll need more than just a friend
Such a bright
Such a bright and sunny day
On the wing

Round and round
Carousel clown
Seek your ride today
Seek your ride
Come inside
Seek your ride today
Seek your ride on the wing
For today
Seek your ride on the wing
For today

Walk alone through the darkness
See the light in her face
Distant memories that we carry
Oh, has this all been a waste?

I mean to cover miles
I’ve walked for many days
Tending to the fire, playing in the rain

See through lies in all their eyes
You’ll never trust again
If it weren’t for one lost soldier
They’d be a hundred of them dead

Delay your heart and double cross it
All is fair and people stare
So, wear shades in the sun
