Peter, Paul & Mary

October 24th, 2009
Not syncopated, but offbeat, yes

It was their time, is was our time... the times, they are achangin'


Sing softly             If I Had A Hammer
Every tune, old             Where Have All The Flowers Gone
Rhythms and memories...             This Land Is Your Land
Every tune you can             Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
Name here makes you cry,             500 Miles
Doesn't             Lemon Tree
It?             Leavin' On A Jet Plane
Please note that             Blowin' In The Wind
I'm singing             Follow Me
These songs with             Puff, The Magic Dragon
You             The Times, They Are A Changin'

Hope is the Handmaiden of Desire

October 22nd, 2009
When Passion denies Hope, Reason goes begging

Pulsing, throbbing, your heart races
And your only thoughts are focused on
Something that has caught your mind's eye
So completely that your energy
Is totally focused, and nothing can intrude
Or interfere with you now, and yes,
Now all reason is beyond hope.

And the Greatest of These

October 21st, 2009
Love

One seeks happiness by trying to be unhappy less and less,
Not feeling comfortable when afraid, for fear is being unsure,
Less secure, but bliss is being unaware, more.
Yet bravery is being fearless more, and more aware.


Energy is good, but anger is best when dissipated fully,
Making it easier to love, best when shared completely.
Of sadness, we appreciate it better yesterday and the day before,
Then utter sorrow? Grief occurs when love is lost irrevocably.
It's true that joy enfolds when love is appreciated, and
Our sense of peace is felt when all is forgiven...
Noble, yes, but forgiveness occurs when love is shared.
