First verse by Dragonfly, next and every other
verse by Lady Bleaux.
Even the lonely
Can find comfort in Nature
All are related
All are related
whether you like it or not
even your in laws!
Even your in laws
Have a few good qualities
You have to look deep
You have to look deep
down many fathoms to find
treasures of the sea ...
Treasures of the sea
Swim or walk on the bottom
Lobster, fish and shrimp
Lobster, fish and shrimp
All play games beneath the sea
Heyy you can't catch me!
Heyy you can't catch me
But if you really want to
I can just fall down
I can just fall down
and wallow in self pity
or face life bravely
Or face life bravely
with sword drawn and flags flying
I'm tired already
I'm tired already
from all I've done in past years
But eager for more!
But eager for more
Snorting, chomping at the bit ..
Warhorse to the end
Warhorse to the end
Very strong hearted within
and free like the wind
And free like the wind
On my massive wings that bend
My soul on the mend
My soul on the mend
from all I've had to contend
It's great when I win!
It's great when I win
But it's the pits when I lose
Why do I compete
Why do I compete
One is drawn by the challenge
It piques our daring
It piques our daring
To try the unusual
Sailing strange seas
Sailing strange seas
Exploring their mysteries
on a wild night's breeze
On a wild night's breeze
A distant howl slowly fades ...
Our brother talking
Our brother talking
telling of ancient wisdom
From another realm
From another realm
Blessings overflow to us
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Or else go totally blind
From tunnel vision ...
From tunnel vision
To the wide panoramic
We see what we want
We see what we want
Good or evil's ugliness
Reflecting our souls
Reflecting our souls
Through the windows of our eyes
No shades can hide them
No shades can hide them
revealed like darkened shadows
Aura of deceit
Aura of deceit
Hangs like a gray miasma
Around a liar
Around a liar
One lie leads to another
Convoluted maze ...
Convoluted maze
And very intricate web
Our place in nature
Our place in nature
is responsibility ...
Upholding balance
Upholding balance
Down with negativity
Fighting the good fight
Fighting the good fight
Using self endowed powers
With lion hearted strength
With lion hearted strength
And rabbit timidity
We greet the new day
We greet the new day
with highest expectations
Our hopes, dreams and schemes
Our hopes, dreams and schemes
Very important to us ...
Others have their own
Others have their own
druthers, racing at full speed
Passing their brothers!
Passing their brothers
In the "rat race" just makes one
A much better rat
A much better rat
can always outsmart the cat
Guile and quick thinking
Guile and quick thinking
Are good characteristics
If you're a con man
If you're a con man
you ply dark devious schemes
To the gullible
To the gullible
All fruit can made to be sweet
Here, bite this lemon
Here, bite this lemon
it matches your sour mood
Darkened displeasure
Darkened displeasure
Frowns and scowling faces cause
An upset stomach
An upset stomach
is often self induced by
A worrisome mind
A worrisome mind
Is like a thorn in the foot
A real aggravation
A real aggravation
Folks who complain all the time
The poor in spirit ...
The poor in spirit
Suck the joy out of living
Happiness vampire
Happiness vampire
lurks in darkened betrayal
Dispelled by sunlight ...
Dispelled by sunlight
The fog wept dewdrop tears as
It slowly vanished
It slowly vanished
the radiant glow of youth
Replaced by laugh lines ...
Replaced by laugh lines
That map the soul's happy paths
Baby fat is gone
Baby fat is gone
and a lean teen emerges
Like metamorphosis
Like metamorphosis
Changes the body, so do
Our thoughts change the mind
Our thoughts change the mind
Some minds really need changing
They're stuck in a rut ...
They're stuck in a rut
Without imagination,
That's where they'll stay
That's where they'll stay
locked in the heart forever
Memories of love ...
Memories of love
Like fish stories, get bigger
As the years go by
As the years go by
they begin to go faster
As we get slower ...
As we get slower
And take more time with things,
We get better
We get better
after each of life's lessons
Times of inner growth
Times of inner growth
Can stretch our awareness or
Expand our waistlines
Expand our waistlines
with careless over eating
Puts our lives at risk
Puts our lives at risk
And our thoughts in confusion
The madness called love
The madness called love
for some lasts but a moment
Ending all too soon ...
Ending all too soon
Our flashes of insight
Understanding life
Understanding life
the truly great enigma
Passes undefined ...
Passes undefined
Like kisses on the cheek or
Winks are frustrating
Winks are frustrating
and totally lost among
Smug humorless twits
Smug humorless twits
Are like summer mosquitoes
They're all around us
They're all around us
the modest and kind hearted
Angels unaware ...
Angels unaware
Of Evil done in His name
Protect us with love
Protect us with love
pleas of all little children
Tend them with kindness
Tend them with kindness
And things will grow well for you
Plants, friendships or kids
Plants, friendships or kids
need attentive nurturing
In order to thrive ...
In order to thrive
One must have peanut butter
Not by bread alone
Not by bread alone
does life stay interesting
It becomes boring
It becomes boring
When life is predictable
Give me surprises
Give me surprises
All wrapped in fluffy white clouds
Sprinkled with star dust
