  • Then One Morning You Wake Up *

    * Second image and poem for paid subscribers everyone. (unpaywalled)

    Then one morning you wake up
    To birdsong in the garden
    Outside your window, and light
    Streaming into a swept-clean
    Space of possibility
    Waiting for your thoughts and dreams.
    You feel buoyant and awake,
    As though the mountain ranges
    Of the world sprawled at your feet,
    And the oceans splashed blessings
    On your brow, and cedar trees
    Grew in your yard overnight.
    And the meaning of it all
    Is that you have the makings
    Of the realization
    Within your grasp, of the real,
    Like the handle of a hasp
    Of a window to unlock.
    And time itself is your friend,
    Extending a hand to you
    To bring a flowing flower
    Of love with humble power
    Into the palm of your hand
    If you'll only accept it.

  • Joan Jett

    Joan Jett I love rock ’n’ roll, I love playing with fire. You’re too possessive, little drummer boy. Crimson and clover, bits and pieces, tossin’ and turnin’ just like in the movies. I hate myself for loving you eye to eye. I still dream about you — the only good thing (you ever said was goodbye). Love is pain. (I’m gonna) run away.

  • Watch for Foreboding Signs

    Watch for forboding signs As you move in stillness. Embrace humility And stand with calm firmness. Align with creative power; Clarify boundaries. The red glow announcing The coming of the sun This morning like a red Carpet from the morning To the day waiting to unfurl. When I saw it, something Shifted within me, like A clutch pedal being Pressed on a downhill slope, And my heart began to Glide without effort into the Beautiful eternal.

  • Foo Fighters

    Foo Fighters This is a call for all the cows. Ain’t it the life, walking after you. Times like these all my life lonely as you — come back. Bridge burning, no way back, I should have known The deepest blues are black. But here we are in the clear.

  • Elvis Costello

    Elvis Costello I’m not angry, Alison, accidents will happen. Watching the detectives living in paradise, I don’t want to go to Chelsea. I want you so like candy, you little fool. All this useless beauty, less than zero, I’ll wear it proudly. I can’t stand up for falling down either side of the same town.
