Excuses worn thin
Eyes can see clearly
The breath of the sin
And change will be coming
From the home and the street
A new muse is calling
Forged against this deceit

There is no #ruse
That will diffuse
The rage that they are setting loose

Ice waits for a #slip
Worse beasts than wolves prowl the dark
Check in on neighbors

Ten foot Icicles
Hang from dangerous gutter
Time to fetch the broom
Icicles glitter
Luring you to winter's fangs
You'll put your eye out

It always starts with one person

I wrote her a letter once, and she wrote back. Too cool

One of these new Bond films.
Oh, I stopped with those once they became #unmoored.

Oars long forgotten
We sink to the #murmur of mermaids
Drift down to lay in coral
Let each grain of sand pile
Until, silt robed
We find our answer
And wait to be discovered
As other's treasure

Soldier. What's the meaning of all these dents in your shield?
Its the blacksmith. Must be getting old, or he holds some grudge. Anyways, I asked for a #dappled finish, covered in hammered light and dark patches, like camouflage. Guess he heard dimpled.

Here's a great album....bit less produced sounding. Cheers!

Sycamore leaf spins and twirls
Dancing with the winds
Wind partnered
Lone sycamore leaf
