Tears from deep inside me.
Joy coming from my tears
Words coming from my soul
Thoughts from deep inside
Deep set feelings exploding
Eyes never dry until I sleep
I care deeply for it’s all good
Conversations that connect
Sleep at night slow to come
Words of love never ending
are for each other nonstop
Joy is there in the morning!

I have this constant overflow of emotion that causes me to put them into rhyme or plain verse and I am glad that I am able to share my words.
Yet.. sometimes these emotions emit into tears of deep set anguish that I cannot share in words or verse. Yeow! It is painful indeed.
Please tell me I can keep my sanity…. Because I often yearn to be set free from this unspoken - unsettling urgency.
What better way than if I could interpret my tears into words. Perhaps I then could create a nuanced and soothing new set of songs to still my soul!

In My Lifetime
Early 1960's
It may be too late – yes too late
But I know that we must try
To take what's left – and make it strong
So again we see the sky
It's not too soon – no not too soon
There must be no delay
For every hour spent in talk
We allow pollutants to stay
For every dollar spent on studies
Uncovering worthy truths
Less money is found for antidotes
And poisons harshly pollute
She must not end – she cannot end
For earth has thrived so long
She began so beautifully eons ago
We're obliged to keep her strong.
1990's
It may be too late – Yes too late
Many tried with opposition
For every move against it
Bill stood for each proposition
It's not too soon – no not too soon
In striving with tradition
He fought to stand for truth
To keep the earth's condition
For every law to fix the land
To make a safer nation
Many of those who questioned
Failed in their ambition
She must not end – she cannot end
For earth has thrived so long
She began so beautifully eons ago
We're obliged to keep her strong.
2010
It may be too late –yes too late
And I know that many tried
To take what's left and make it strong
So we'll always see the sky
It's not too soon – no not too soon
Again there was opposition
It took Barrack to take a stand
To overcome their position
For every law to fix the land
There was a revolution
Many of those who questioned
Couldn't change the earth's condition.
She must not end – she cannot end
For earth has thrived so long
She began so beautifully eons ago
We're obliged to keep her strong.
2018
It may be too late – yes too late
But I know that we must try
To take what's left – and make it strong
So we'll always see the sky
It's not too soon – no not too soon
There must be no delay
For every hour spent on words
Good laws are taken away.
For those supporting industry
Huge bucks go their way
There's no time for deals
They allow pollutants to stay.
She must not end – She cannot end
For earth has thrived so long
She began so beautifully eons ago
We're obliged to keep her strong.
