On one side
And you can make me feel so much with hardly any effort again and again it happens makes me wonder would I explode if you actually tried? it’s an involuntary reaction of joy how’d this string get tied in the first place? so impossible yet it’s been possible and with hardly a perceptible movement hardly a a fraction of a…

Tumbleweed exit
Tumbleweed exit circling twigs across the dry dirt Gone, the clippity-clop of all the horses and the carriages The riders are gone! the walkers on wooden sidewalks too empty old Western saloon the last residents: Desire and inspiration are blowing down Main Street helplessly unattached tumbling circles without malice with…

Thank you
Your music makes me feel makes me long makes me think and dream It's like a friend always there understanding I'm here But also far away In my thoughts The greatness of a lyric The wave of a melody The boring concrete The cold cold surroundings Don't bother me I'm on my way to work But on my way there I'm given to fly

Awakening
The winter slowly fades into memory As spring arrives in the vacuum to be A swallow on a wing, a bee in the sun For the season has changed , spring has begun A carpet of bluebells & a primrose yellow in the glade As an ancient oak tree opens it's green cloak & the meadow awakes A chiff chaff calls & the cuckoo arrives for…

Songs of hope
Hear my cries oh Lord, hear my cries The thunder comes from many sides And in this chamber of stained white glass The lightning strikes swift and fast. Pure as the sunset on a snow capped range With no loss for words the angels sing. Songs of hope and songs of peace Words I do not recognize Bring me to my knees With hands…

My kitchen drawer
There’s a drawer in my kitchen that holds twist ties, screw drivers, flash lights, candles, matches, extra lunch bags…It is a drawer for useful miscellany! In my mind, I have a storage area like that too. Thoughts that solved problems, realizations, good ideas, inventions of small useful tools… I could sift through the…

The Gracious Host In Pink At The Restaurant
And it keeps Helped usher them out and I ran in My love couldn't overcome this fear again And it keeps Covered in roses Ushered them in and you ran away Your love couldn't overcome this fear again And It keeps I looked into those blue eyes And it keeps Take my hand My love will overcomes this fear And it keeps The love…

True feelings true music Swept in magnetically Finding its home Somewhere in between The mind and the soul A spark that never dies Somewhere not to find hidden deep It needs it It also flows Dancing notes like flowing in a brook Like water flows down the stream fill up Sink down Pour up some more

Simply here,and nothing more.
I used to dream, What if? It would make me feel good for the moment. I'd look at pictures of magical places, And for a second,I was there. Never with anyone, Just little old me. My whole childhood, I was a drifter. Stopping long enough to raise my children. Now that they have lives of their own, I've become stagnant.…

Freedom Song
Release and kick, and away we go! No better place of which I know, Than to run on a road that never ends; That transient joy it always sends! To fly along the firm, hard ground, And hear the song of the hooves' pound.. Pound.. The smell of the pines that stand on gaurd, Mingles, With the smell of a horse whose feet fall…

I don't know where they go
I don’t know where they go I don’t know where the birds go when they aren’t eating on my back porch but they stop by several times a day to munch our outdoor pets fly in and out! they come alone or in groups I have a few pairs of cardinals bold red boys and elegant girls larger groups of smaller birds finches a pair of…

O
Safely out of the way hidden here in the country farms, trees, animals, big sky stepped off the merry-go-round It is no fantasy happiness is real the ground is solid under my feet don't need to wonder, what the? what the puzzle means can just be myself like a pebble worn smooth soft and grey plain and honest

Two Times Told
As the burning sun beats down on the desert sand She moves quickly Stopping for a moment to see what lies ahead In the hidden truth of a rocky stand. Up above in the blinding eye of the sun vultures circle Waiting for the last breath of silence to feed life Into the burning desert sand. Then without even a thought She…

Closing Doors
I woke up this morning, unaware you were leaving. You made me choose, but I could not choose you. I was taken aback. I did not see it coming; blindsided. Tears are for the weak, so you said I was weak. You broke my heart, you stunned me into disbelief. I can never let you back in, you know, this door forever closed.

truth in nothing else
the flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and the men drink too much and nobody finds the one but keep looking crawling in and out of beds. flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh. there's no chance at all: we are all…

Mother Earth
The reflection of the moon on the sea Validated her beliefs in cosmic philosophies The natural flow of the waves Inspired the sunlilght of her spirit The possibilities of the unknown Excite her thoughts of the timjeless abyss If only all humans could be Taoists

13,000 Poems
13,000 Poems do you feel this the emptiness I can hear it echo I can hear a distant water drip and echoing in a place once filled entirely with color and fiber living love and laughter, sparks and creativity, warmth, and that stream of connections so warm how can this be now so dark damp and just out how can this be the now

First Flight
https://www.facebook.com/notes/michael-chase/first-flight/10154681943559852 First Flight The light within blazes with Truth. An ancient denial held it obscured. And yet it burned as it always did. The dearest memory but forgotten ....how did he ever forget that! Absent of coercion, the silence of attraction blinded his…

Borrowed Poetry
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a Cloud That floats on high o'er vales and Hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden Daffodils; Beside the Lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way,…

Beauty
I wonder who will see the beauty in him He is captivated by the way the Sun sparkles Like a million diamonds on the surface of the pond The way It attaches itself to every leaf And blade of grass at this time of day He is the only one witnessing this wonder Right here, right now It fills his heart and brings him great joy…

She always looks the other way And Into the memory she likes best She always holds onto her dreams Like a bird inside a cage. She walks with the grace Liz Taylor surely had She never says good-by She’s a lady thru and true She’s moving slow as if she has no place to hide. The world could stop turning and the mighty…

I repeated,"Just do'in fine" "I guess I'm that way,all the time" Can you sit awhile,,and listen child, to what I have to say. He said,"I've been a lot of places child, And I've found a pot of gold." "I've walked…
