This is a space where I have a mid life crisis, write about my creative journey, and talk about songwriting and share bits of terrible poetry.

Waterfalls

Written in

by

The girls decided to go out chasing waterfalls.
And I said to go w/o.
“The meeting is unimportant”
(and this sounded like a Reddit prank)

Never did find that waterfall but they told me
Charles Mingus once played the Joynt.
and they found the spotted cow.
They screamed “you’re amazing “ to Monica Martin
as they walked home from the show on deserted streets.

Me, no regrets.
my body had given be what it could,
more than I ever thought it would.

my legs brought me all the way up front.
I danced with my girls like i haven’t remembered.
I sang along at the top of my lungs.
Joy in every Oz of sweat pouring from our bodies.
my hips found grove.
my hands raised the beat.
and I had no doubts I’d stay on my feet.
I heard the good word.
my eyes saw clearly.

my heart full and grateful for what she had already given me.
