poem
SIMPLY DIVINE
I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING
THE WAY THAT CERTAIN THINGS
COME YOUR WAY
AS IF THE UNIVERSE HAS ITS SAY
THIS APPLIES TO YOU AND YOUR MISSION
IT WILL GIVE YOU GUIDANCE AND VISION
PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNS
THEY ARE ALL SIMPLY DIVINE
IT'S A GLOOMY DAY
IS TRIVIA TRIVIAL AS A RULE
WHY DOES GOSSIP HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL
IT TAKES SMALL MINDS TO DIG UP DIRT
AND GIVE NO THOUGHT TO WHO THEY HURT
WHY DO PEOPLE GOSSIP ANYWAY
DON'T THEY HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO SAY
AND FASHION POLICE
NOT A BIT DISCREET
WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK
THEIR COMMENTS STINK
IT'S A GLOOMY DAY
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY
A SLICE OF L.IFE
A SLICE OF LIFE
THAT'S REALLY NICE
IS A PIECE OF PEACE
TREASURE IT AND CHERISH IT
MAY IT NEVER CEASE
MAY YOU FIND
PEACE OF MIND
IN YOUR LIFETIME
TUNING INTO THE COSMOS
IF ALL IS ONE AND ONE IS ALL
ARE WE ALL SCHIZOPHRENIC
OR IS THE EARTH A MAGIC PLANT
AND WE'RE ALL TRIPPIN ON IT
THIS IS TOO BIZARRE FOR ME
YET I WRITE THIS POETRY
WHERE IT COMES FROM I DON'T KNOW
TUNING INTO THE COSMOS
STRANGERS
ARE WE FRIENDS
OR ACQUAINTANCES
OR NEITHER ONE OF THOSE
FAMILIAR
YET SO MUCH UNKNOWN
WE'RE STRANGERS I SUPPOSE
IN A DREAMY TRANCE
MAGNIFICENT MELANCHOLY MIDNIGHT SKY
MYSTERIOUSLY MESMERIZING THOSE INCLINED
TO DRIFT OFF IN A DREAMY TRANCE
NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCE
LOST IN LOTS OF TIMELESS SPACE
NEVER FEELING OUT OF PLACE
YET THEY'RE GONE WITHOUT A TRACE
THE MUDDY MISSISSIPPI
THE MUDDY MISSISSIPPI
WITH ITS RIVERBOATS AND RAFTS
A PLAYGROUND FOR TOM SAWYER
WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT
A CAVE TO GO SPELUNKING
LOTS OF WILDERNESS TO ROAM
TALL TALES BEYOND REBUNKING
A FUN PLACE TO BE CALLED HOME
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SIGNS
WE SEE WHAT WE'RE MEANT TO SEE
WE HEAR WHAT WE'RE MEANT TO HEAR
CAN'T TUNE IN TO EVERYTHING
SO HOW DOES SOME STUFF SEEM CLEAR
MESSAGES SOMEHOW GET THROUGH
WHENEVER THEY'RE MEANT FOR YOU
SOME OTHERS JUST FLY RIGHT BY
NO REASON TO WONDER WHY
WHAT COMES TO YOUR ATTENTION
IS FOR YOUR COMPREHENSION
MAYBE IT'S AN EXTENSION
FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION
SOMETIMES WE JUST NEED TO TRUST
NO REASON TO MAKE A FUSS
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SIGNS
THEY'RE HAPPENING ALL THE TIME
EVERYONE'S A WEIRDO
EVERYONE'S A WEIRDO
IN THEIR OWN WAY
SOME MAY HIDE IT WELL
SOME ARE ON DISPLAY
JUST AN OBSERVATION
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY
