Grateful Dead
By suggestion, a place for the poets among us to post their words.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Happy Father's Day
to ALL of You, xo!
Where are the
Grateful Dead
and when did
they stop
following
me
Happy Birthday Bob Dylan!
May your '72nd year be
filled with
everything you love best!
You're the poem
and the song,
in my soul, xo!
In Harmony and Bliss,

I agree
an excellent life philosophy
consumerism only causes drag
learn how to let go of the price tag
and when pain and sorrow become acute
simplicity should be the sole pursuit
by doing this we reduce our needs
to little more than spores and seeds

night turns to day
turns to night
tide goes out
comes in
goes out
spring follows winter
summer follows spring
fall follows summer
winter follows fall
waking, eating, washing
working, eating, sleep
happiness, sorrow
happiness
it is all transitory
why fight against it?
at all costs
do not deny it
in this saha world
all is impermanent
attachment to anything
causes suffering
let go of your collections
and you can keep them
i hear everything
those aren't voices in your head
they're just the echoes of your indecision
don't ask me
ask yourself
i know everything
those thoughts going around in your head
trying to figure out what's right and what's wrong
don't ask me
ask yourself
i feel everything
wast it me, us, or them?
or was it you?
don't ask me
ask yourself
i am everything
why listen to me
i'm just the voice inside your head
i can't help you
help yourself

Where have all the poets gone?
Maybe their out on the lawn
Or is that one up in a tree?
Their words of life might help us see

Both Sides
3/20/13
Some days are darker than dirt
Other days Heaven's shining through
Sometimes I wake up in this town
Been sitting here too long it's time to take a look around
I want to see both sides of the story
Life's way too short to let it get too boring
Next stop is "doin' fine"
Time to gun the engines gonna beat it down the line
Some days I'm down under the gun
Other days I want to have some fun
Oh my, you're looking fine
I'm headed down to Boone's Farm if you want to take a ride
Then we can see both sides of the story
It's you and me, we might be bound for glory
Next stop is " out of sight "
And we're gonna keep on going 'till we finally get it right
Ohhhh what I'm thinking of
Ohhhh it's all about Love
Ohhhh what I'm thinking of
Ohhhh we're Stardust and Love
Some days are darker than the dirt
Other days Heaven's shining through
Sometimes I wake up in this town
Been sitting here too long it's time to take a look around
I want to see both sides of the story
Life's way too short too let it get too boring
Next stop is doin' fine
Time to gun the engines gonna beat it down the line

Location
This summer will come and
Pulling ourselves out of our flower gardens
We'll find our favorite shed
To see that old group of men
Play those songs
That have composed
The soundtracks of our lives
We'll mourn those who have passed
And listen to others sing their songs
And wonder how anybody
Can appreciate this band
Who hasn't heard Jerry play
At least once in their lives
In the end
Who sings what
With how young a crowd
Who never smelled the master bouquet
Never does really matter
As long as you wore a smile
And helped pick up the garbage...
