I have written songs,
Unrelated to each other
Yet related to me
And relationships I have,
Have had,
Or would like to have.
Love the Broken Ones
Salty Tears
Soul Reflection
Every song
Is a river –
Flowing,
Flooded,
Or longed for.
Cry me a river?
No, I cry my own
In song.
And I feel
Better
For the cry.
And the river of my life
Flows onward!

If you’re wondering, “How did we get here?”
To this point of our marriage and home;
If you ask yourself questions like I do,
If your mind e’er commences to roam…
If you want to know one thing that happened
To draw us through spaces and time:
If I have to choose one,
It is quite simply done…
We are here
‘Cause I
Dropped you a
LINE!

I’m not sure if you know it,
But by now you surely must.
There’s a dragon in your house
That could burn the place to dust!
The fire’s hot as lava
And no water can subdue.
Yet the dragon is your wife.
So what-are-ya-gonna-do?

The sea reflects our brilliant sun
Until another day is done.
It carries me so wide and far,
A sailor following the stars.
I take a journey in my mind;
*I ask, I seek, I knock – and find.
The voyage ends and waters part
With sun reflecting in my heart.
*“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
–Matthew 7:7-8 (NKJV)

Discernment is extremely important in all relationships. We use our discernment (judgement, sensitivity, enlightenment, discrimination, taste) in communication, behavior, speech, and of course, in choosing partners and the kind of relationship to have with them. Written in 2017, this song came out of that discernment for me. I ended that relationship, and Freddy and I became closer. We are married now, another positive discernment!
1. I have feelings of sweetness for you
And all these dreams that I want to come true.
I have wishes, but I’m not confused.
Refrain:
I know that I can’t be your honey, honey,
But you still have my love.
2. Life happens, and people get hurt.
Tables turn, and relationships don’t work.
Looking forward, I am alert.
Refrain:
3. Love is a tree with fruits untold
And all the beauty of life to behold.
If we cut it down, love can’t unfold.
Refrain:
4. I have feelings that tell me to stay
And all these dreams that are gonna have to wait.
I have wishes, and I keep them at bay.
Refrain:
No, I can’t be your honey, honey,
But you, you still have my love.
I lay down a card on the table,
My friendship that came from the heart.
You added in kind, and it made us
Much more than the sum of our parts.
You lay down a loyalty strengthened
By losses and wins you came through.
I gave you the same, and we flourished
As equals in trusting and truth.
You raised me a love full of sweetness
That never before had I known.
I prayed that my dealing could match you,
And since then our winnings have grown!
We pooled everything and we married;
Love, friendship and loyalty stand.
The sum of our hearts now is priceless,
Our cards laid by God’s loving hand.

Cat meets bird, eats bird
Leaving blue feathers behind
Nature takes its course
—
I used to live in a house with a terrier, 3 other dogs, 2 cats, and a parrot… And recently heard a story of two birds, one of which met its maker at the cat’s hand, or paw. 😮 Regardless of what we call demestication, animals ultimately behave in the way that is most natural to them.
