the sounds of oakland
the sounds of oakland
sitting on a quiet porch
gunshots in the night
2016
the vote has been cast
the vote has been cast
a gremlin seeds the nightmare
shaking in the dark
the simple pleasures
the simple pleasures
but preparation matters
walking in the rain
with a soft morning
with a soft morning
let the world drift right on by
lounging in the rain
a new dawn is come
a new dawn is come
full with possibilities
go and sing your song
in silent darkness
in silent darkness
working with focused intent
the nightmares are sown
wandering focus
wandering focus
the tangents are strong today
chocolate espresso
our daily struggles
our daily struggles
and trapped by the things we need
morning in the rain
to say nothing
to say nothing
can be just what is needed
but say it loudly
lost understanding
lost understanding
and what was meant isn't there
so choose better words
