Little Owl

Little owl hides in fields of freshly mown hay.
The moonlight cannot find him.
Long are the shadows that with dark fingers search for bright eyes.

Blind, hidden so blind.

So, why not fly to the wood.
The wind here is very cold.
Far from shelter and hiding from light.
Owl the fool, the shine in your eye like little moons.

Eyes, hidden so blind.
Blind, hidden so blind.
Blind, hidden so blind.

(a freestyle sermon from Ezekial’s Valley of Dry Bones)

The Valley of Dry Bones is a vision described in Ezekiel 37, where the prophet Ezekiel sees a valley filled with dry bones that come to life through God’s command, symbolizing the restoration of the people of Israel. This vision illustrates themes of hope, revival, and divine intervention in seemingly hopeless situations.

Queen of the Fools

Hey, do you want to be Queen of the Fools?
Hey, do you want to believe that you were great?
Your friends, supposed critics, they stand in line.
Reassure you, “You are doing fine.”
But if I had to believe a single word was said.
If I had to bet dollars for truth of all that has been said.

I’d believe the trolls.
I’d believe the trolls.
I’d believe that I’m at fault.

Hey, do you want to be Queen of the Fools?
Hey, do you want to believe that you are great?

I’d believe the worst was true about me.

My name is Carla. This is my shop.
Part my heart and most my time.

Maybe you’ve seen me walk downtown.
My name is Todd.

With Pastiche design your home.
With fun new toys for boys and girls.
A stylish world. Affordable.

And fun bright colored tags.
That move and swing.
This is real art. Pastiche.

Space

I like you. You are mine.
All the time. All the time.
There are things I need to do.
And though alone, I still need you.

And sometimes I need to draw.
I need to paint. I need my space.
And I know you need the same.
And then we meet and dance and change.

Dandelions Field

I am the winner and incidentally, the most amazing.
Stare at the sky if you will.

Knick-knack paddywhack.
Send the best that you have right on back.
Days go by.

I am the winner and incidentally, the most amazing.
Stare at the sky if you will.

There are no crumbs in my milk.
Before the tigers came,
This was a dandelions field.

Knick-knack paddywhack.
Send the best that you have right on back.
Knick-knack paddywhack.
Send the best that you have right on back.

Days go by. Like a kite in the sky.
Way up high. I close my eyes.
I close my eyes. Close my eyes.

I am the winner and incidentally, the most amazing.
Stare at the sky if you will.
It was a dandelions field.
