relationships | we land on this blue planet | covered in sweet mother
always has new hats | always with the this and that | but can’t pay the rent
cooling heals the head | dreams a slash of blue lake | wakes up refreshed
with the sunrise | smile it's a new day | on the edge of yesterday
believes in future | wraps herself around the past | stays in the moment
how can one break | their own heart by being | in love with love
there would be blood | she always feared bullets | then a deafening quiet
so much love her heart | hurts as though compressed in his | fist clenched
partly disheveled | then skin muscle bone | but no sinew can hold them | no matter the pretty words | no matter night shivering
when those we love | disappear without a word | there's no explanation | then we blame ourselves for all | we might've done differently
complete sadness | is the passing of parents | to that other place | where we can only feel them | wish them light and progress
he wants to be sure | she knows who's the boss of whom | believes in free will
from this far away | I send you blessings and love | sana sana dear
a struggle for the land | a fight for our survival | earth must prevail
apart they do not shine | there is no fire | sometimes there's no hope
want to ring some necks | can't pinpoint exactly why | you got the feelin'
time for a chill pill | or a bottle of bourbon | she opts for yoga
ghost ranch belly dance | lay down color fields dry wheat | layers upon sound
iron eyes don't see | in their bellies carry us | feel their way down tracks
she must embrace it | Mercury's insistency | roll with the punches
if he were a bar | he'd be aqui me quedo | she would never leave
brown hands in red earth | a firm mother connection | one to another
everyday mothers | their days long for their children | even when they're grown ✿
winding roads take us | back to a past now future | of soul and spirit
you can love so much | where does all that love come from | a wish or prayer
a wee girl smiling | her entire life a dream | loved beyond belief | the way girls should be loved | by great mothers and fathers
imprecise magic | of defying gravity | no fear of falling
loneliness demon | hides in the blackout curtains | is uncertainty | let the light of this fine day | banish all the sad worry
pavement surfers | skateboarders soar like eagles | skilled to land on feet
full-flower moon | ready to bloom Spring showers | our mother of pearl
Black lives do matter | stop racial profiling | end all war for peace
