The road has been long
beautiful sweet exciting
magical divine inspiring
classic historic and wild
We have been backwards
to outer space beyond the stars
We have seen the miracles of life
as the boundaries of reality dissolved

12-30-13 Learning The Secrets Of Time Travel
The brown bear eats lunch
Flying saucers hide behind clouds
Hot dogs on the street are a good snack
Inside the monster there is much to be found
There is freedom in knowing
It's a long way home from nowhere
Crafted in a variety of different styles
Every story has subtext hidden in plain sight
We kiss the air after the storm
Electric mood swings on Seventh Avenue
Stampede at Penn Station during rush hour
The truth is not what they taught you in school

12-29-13 Providence
It was nineteen years ago tonight
That we found ourselves gathered together
On a pilgrimage to the ceremony in Providence
The air was so cold we had to huddle for warmth
During the day the orange sun cast dark shadows
Strange demonic beasts calling to us from somewhere
Unknown forces guiding us in another direction
We finally arrived in Providence after the sun had set
At the doorway we were greeted by a mean giant
As we walked inside the eyes were everywhere
Watching our every move while the clock was ticking
The time had come for the moment of awakening
All the lights blacked out suddenly
People started to scream in terror
Darkness had arrived with a vengeance
Then the music started and we were transported
Some people did not make it out alive
But I remember the looks on their faces
As we were all delivered from judgement
To face the wrath of ultimate evil
That we found ourselves gathered together
On a pilgrimage to the ceremony in Providence
The air was so cold we had to huddle for warmth

12-27-13 Exploding Oceans Of Soul
we are floating out in the universe
falling in love with anonymous planets
sliding around the rings of Saturn
silently contemplating the story of life
shooting stars are showering us with light
hoping to catch a ride on Halley's Comet
blasting off on a rocket ship trip to Venus
sucked into a black hole for all of eternity

12-26-13 Reflective Perspective
This is Something
or This is nothing
This is not something
Nothing comes down
hot summer in the snow
fun in the great beyond
let the tides flow closer
to thrilling masterpieces
in motion until the end
before the groove repeats
but after night lightning
flashes across the stars
opening a door to the future
Superstars of the next wave
Possessed by the ghost of
Tomorrow's messiah
Sitting out on the porch
of an old country house
in a wooden rocking chair
reflecting back on a long life
Then fade out
or This is nothing
This is not something
Nothing comes down
hot summer in the snow
fun in the great beyond
let the tides flow closer
to thrilling masterpieces
in motion until the end
before the groove repeats
but after night lightning
flashes across the stars
opening a door to the future
Superstars of the next wave
Possessed by the ghost of
Tomorrow's messiah

12-25-13 Old Family Photos
Memories from before I was born
Grandma's beautiful wedding dress
Dad's baby pictures in black and white
Christmas parties at my Aunt's house
My days growing up in New Jersey
Friends have come and gone away
Some stayed close over the years
Bonds which can never be broken
Energies passed down the generations
The year I had chicken pox as a kid
Brings me back to a fragile reality
Holidays feasting at the dinner table

12-24-13 Intergalactic Travels
Time travel by starlight
Swirling in a whirlpool
Distorted images reversed
Mirror crashes in pieces
Supernova shift in the cosmic divide
Flashing blinkers passing
Into another new dimension
Surfing the tail of a comet
Faster than the speed of silence

12-23-13 A Descent Into Madness
Gremlins running rampant
Inside your mind
Pushed over the edge
Of sanity humanity
You can never turn off
The angry voices
Suddenly you can't find
Your normal brain
It can happen to you
Or anyone you love
Don't laugh after midnight
In the television room
Their tattoos came to life
In a mystical light
You sold your soul to the devil
And now you must pay
Never keep us here alive
Run into the woods
Flip green freedom ripoff
Jump fly to hang out
Static chop mess record blessing
Triangle flying saucer visit
Comic strip failure elephant
Wrong rooom bling boom
Ale Salem sleep ordinary tongues
Return trip surfer surgery
Crittle bleep blew whist gax
Linko ole plod plick westricalization
Bliggo tee bough klop jip loka loo

12-22-13 Festive Winter Passages
Messages from old friends
Make you feel good inside
At the holiday times
When anxiety sets in
Fruitcake and hot pepper jelly
Passed around under the family tree
Fresh baked ginger bread cookies
Hot and crispy out of the oven
Take the time to look back
At old memories left behind
Embracing the hard changes
Standing tall against time
Years go by quickly
But these traditions
Only grow stronger
As we grow older
Make you feel good inside
At the holiday times
When anxiety sets in
Fruitcake and hot pepper jelly
Passed around under the family tree
Fresh baked ginger bread cookies
Hot and crispy out of the oven
Take the time to look back
At old memories left behind
Embracing the hard changes
Standing tall against time
Years go by quickly
But these traditions
Only grow stronger

12-21-13 The Secret Ingredient Is Pollution
toxic poisons swimming
through our blood stream
chemicals creep into our brains
while we breath smog into our lungs
radioactive waves in the food chain
ravaging our bodies with deadly cancers
we wash our food in contaminated water
following a path to premature extinction

12-19-13 Getting Loose In The City
Back pages crumble
Taxi cab ran you down
Beat the subway faster
Madison Square Garden
Adventure awaits us here
Find the time to fall apart
Then piece it all together
And move out of town
Hot dog pretzel soda peanuts
Thrilling to the last minute
Seasonal spirit spreading cheer
Good times at the pub with old friends

12-17-13 Holiday Sugar Plum Visions
Crystal palaces grow into cities
Sparkling lights like diamonds
Traveling beyond nothing special
Hypnotized in an enchanted trance
Candy canes and lollipop lemonade
Assorted cakes make for sweet memories
Chocolate kisses in the palm of my hand
Melting away into the arms of yesterday
Frosted fantasy in a land of fairy tales
Maple syrup dripping sticky fingers
Blueberry happiness spreading jelly
Joyous celebration of good cheer

12-16-13 The Lost Hours
Mystery moments
unwrapped in silence
Locked inside
spaces
between raindrops
Hidden memories
didn't really exist
Secrets unsold
cold mystical magic
A golden ship
materialized
illuminated
Frozen
forgotten
from another
dimension
missing minutes
Traveling back in time
The future holds the answers
To the riddles of the past
The road begins here
unwrapped in silence
Locked inside
spaces
between raindrops
Hidden memories
didn't really exist
Secrets unsold
cold mystical magic
A golden ship
materialized
illuminated
Frozen
forgotten
from another
dimension

The future holds the answers

I made a wish
upon a tree
a bird flew up
into the sky
The rain poured down
and cleansed the earth
a garden grew
my wish came true

12-11-13 Existence Of Mythical Creatures
Hot sun on sandy beaches
Sea shells scattered in the surf
Serpents lurking deep below
Fierce winter freeze in effect
Sleeping in a cold icy cavern
Sasquatch howling in the woods
Flying solo in a small airplane
Night birds on the Hudson River
Flying saucers flashing on the horizon
Sitting quietly alone in his living room
Reading the newspaper before bedtime
Andy Kaufman fooled everyone alive

12-10-13 Letters To The Ghosts Of Old Poets
Floods of goodness demand attention
Sneaking around in colorful shadows
Cookies crushed in piles of sweetness
Snowballs sailing in the crisp fresh air
If poetry represents the inner consciousness
Then these were probably not the words
To best describe the soul of our civilization
These are words of modern artistic expression
Heat radiating from citrus sunshine creativity
Melting away into pools of oblivious beauty
When the icy blizzard of ideas freezes over
The war of words will finally come to an end
Sneaking around in colorful shadows
Cookies crushed in piles of sweetness
Snowballs sailing in the crisp fresh air
If poetry represents the inner consciousness
Then these were probably not the words
To best describe the soul of our civilization
These are words of modern artistic expression
Heat radiating from citrus sunshine creativity
Melting away into pools of oblivious beauty
When the icy blizzard of ideas freezes over
The war of words will finally come to an end

12-09-13 Plastic Souls Of Angels On Fire
Shave your face
In the cold dark night
As chilly rains pour down
The glass is half full
Empty gas tank frozen
At the winter meetings
Evergreen frost in the air
A huge storm dumping snow
Bulldogs attack out on the street
Science fiction fantasies come to life
Monsters fighting robots in outer space
Rumbling in the underground caverns
Crumbling flowers dried out into dust
Active ideas blowing like seeds in the breeze
Showering creative designs all over the wall
Shooting stars across the sky like fireworks
Hybrid bones of ancient warriors remixed
Old baseball record books in the library
Magical photos spread out on yellow pages aged
Immortality secrets spelled out in coded messages

12-08-13 What Dies Is Now Reborn
That old tree
snapped in half
and fell to the ground
during last year's hurricane
It has now been removed
and in it's place a new tree is planted
to complete the cycle of life

A new stage in evolution
Thirteen stories to tell
Come out of your shell
Nevermind all the static
Step outside your comfort
Don't be afraid to fail
Dive off the cliffs of doubt
Catch a lion by his tail
Crispy cooked marshmallows
Melted all over the top layer
Served hot in a ceramic bowl
We need a large spoon to scoop
Change the way you live
Add some brown sugar
Whip it all up smooth
Who cares if you can't cook

I can make anything I want
It can be whatever we desire
Let the moment decide inside
The filtered fabric of the universe
Divided with one swift stroke
Random actions fall into place
When destiny decides your fate
Scattered pieces all come together
Stars aligned in the universal mind
The future informs the past rewind

12-04-13 Down On The Farm
creative flow from below
we know how to grow cows
it's a long day in the pasture
and the pig slop is rather runny
that old sheep dog won't get up
he sleeps on the porch all afternoon
horses gallop across the grassy field
blue skies smile for miles in sunshine
you can find me hiding out in the red barn
where I'm happy napping on a pile of hay

Old car broken down on the road

Savage fireball science experiment
Home unknown home grown phone
In the zone flown in from far away
Imported to another timeline journey
Traveling through centuries in minutes
