Drink Deep

come out of your shell

if you have a story to tell

water is meant to be drawn from a well

 

hum inspired words that would cause a bird

to sing beautiful tunes in the afternoon

 

a million voices reciting at the same time

scrabbling the sunny side of my mind

in an open atmosphere words spoken

absent from fear

 

where ever it happens I just want to be near

to hear those lines in my ears

that stops tears from falling and inspires peers

 

get in touch with the creative side

where souls are touched by words applied

no claps but snaps will do just fine

 

tell me a story that keeps on going

in and out of season

things that happen for a reason

 

about flowers that bloom in skid row alleyways

feeling the waves moving through the graves

 

 the sound of communities

trying to be in tune

 

knitting pieces together

to warm the world with a sweater

 

picking up each other come blow your horn

wake up somebody sound the alarm

 

let your passion burn like

gasoline on fire

 

when pain turns into

the smell of fresh cut green grass

with the coming of rain

 

truth is told by lies

the knots that are tied

to untangle we try

 

golden fantasies rise

hell bakes apple pies

somebody scream

 

heaven is made of ice cream

it does not matter how many

windows are broken

 

when the word goes onward

it is spoken and keeps on going

 

so whatever its going to be

place it in a ball of energy and

 

call it poetry
