Get to stepping

Get to stepping

What's this... 

coming down the street

musical even without sound

but hearing leather bounce 

on pavement with a melodic rhythm

energetic, face turned 

to something in the distance

yet well aware of the connecting space

the art of motion evident

the style and grace

prevalent casual sheik

the clothes, shoes, hat, accessories 

dashing in a cool sense of dignity

each frame playing almost in slow motion

with an emphasis on gait 

in a smooth sort of rhythm

grooving on down

the walk with a smooth hint of a lean

at an unhurried 

yet taking care of business 

pace

Time-lines

Thank you, feeling pimped... 

can't get enough of the high i strive for 

Call me a word whore, hurts my feelings, 

but isn't that what the Blues Store is made from... 

but on the flip-side being frank

Sometimes when i find i'm shooting blanks 

and can't seem to get it up to please 

an audience i cannot see, 

save for comments 

which may or may not be... truthful. 

While trying my best 

for my efforts to be fruitful 

...and let my feelings multiply 

in the twilight zone 

of mind-surfing troglodytes 

seeking escape through Prisms

A boogie-woogie waltz 

done with uncanny precision

&n...

Show-time

Running through life experiences, 

living and learning, hopefully finding purpose 

in what's in your life to make it all worth it.

 Entertainment, is a side effect of the drug 

they use to distract those of us 

who happen to view, life free.

self entertainment with the Real

nature of the game of life 

but free time, by design 

was putting some meat on the bone

maybe kick back and unwind, play 

some music... drink some sweet elixir

i must be dreaming... back in the day

we'd have get togethers and play

if you were religiously inclined

gather families and pray

unless the authorities got mean and ugly

and the people might have to show up

and raise hell, just so that they...

As we come and go

At this very moment

time can be said to be happening

for anything in motion

everything which touches 

everything within the Universe 

is moving... towards or away

from everything else

perhaps both, who can say

Relative motion

just like us... human beings

We are related by time

to everyone else

what great and terrible things

we have done to one another

We carry within our DNA

our energy signature, 

left the evidence

at the scene proving 

it was as it has always been, 

us... against, us

like Caine and Abel... 

we've done the crime

And were sent to a...

Reality strikes twice

Remarkable memories lost in time

somewhat good, stuck between 

so many more, others

terribly bad... 

some worse than death

death comes easy

when you have 

nothing left to lose

winning at best is a new beginning

with a somewhat happy ending

Not crying at the birth of 

yet another child 

born into a life of second class 

at best a lifetime of servitude of bondage

with so little hope of escape

the fear/reluctance 

of taking your own life

pales in comparison

i can almost feel it 

in the roots of my bones

A story of many truths,

horrifying violence

Who knew?

Jesus was "that" protester

turning tables at the temple

the authorities did,

what's within their purview

by the same rules 

for everything else they do

what they do... 

to restore their hold 

to all people within 

their borders

to promote their causes

and effect their rules

to promote the religious 

rights order...

Was that you, too?

who, knew?

C2

Shadows of doubt

Energy/Matter

where does it all come from?

Where does it all go...?

Somewhere in God's eye?

A place of a greater Soul

when the end of life ...

we barely know comes to an end, 

Will our spirits know

Will there be memories to show

why we were here...

who and what remains ...

to know, 

better? 

worse?

A bible came to be... 

materialized, times... places

how did it know 

we need guidance?

And if so, why is there 

still such violence?

Even though... 

the evil within our spirits 

bend towards different ends 

of what we know, as life science

Fall Eve

How difficult it is to act cool

when the current 

of the time is just too hot

not get into the flow

when you know

what time it is

when, once the fuse is lit

you've been exposed, pros 

you know as 100 percent legit 

are getting hit

with the same rap sheet

sometimes being too positive

gets you more time

cause the people on top 

just don't stop lying on us...

apparently, In God We Trust

wasn't meant to apply to US

Tell the Prez to stop 

smoking that Angel dust

not to get a spontaneous signal

to override the negative factions

usual reaction when you're 

tired of the usual BULL

to ride in the back...

The GIFT

Ancestral leg bones 

A mother grimaced 

as another of repeated 

rounds of pain 

washed over 

the young mothers face

Legs spread open wide 

showed promise

Undulating rhythmic contractions

Blessed the passage 

of the heavenly gift

A young prince 

delivered with pride 

A welcome sight

To the elder women 

of the tribe

Another soul upon which 

The Creator had bestowed a crown... 

Joy spread throughout the village

Celebration shared another soul 

to build wealth

Sent by the ancestors 

as a renewal for...

Drum Circle

None but the few

experience deep...

What it takes to be 

a natural drummer

no matter which culture

which vision, which color

more than picking animal skin

chosen for qualities within

dried and cured, when mature

stretched judiciously, tuned

being selective, adding tension

determining its proper dimensions

breaking in its soul, testing how...

its voice is carried in the forest 

its echoes climbing the wind...

to speak ...and be answered 

lovingly, gradually making it taut...

shaping its voice, testing its call

leading its talk, making it walk

weaving its stories with spirits 

in phrases of beings s...
