Mid March 2020 Upside-down I go>>>Mid June 2022>>>
are we through yet?
I found new ways to make music from my home studio where I practiced more than when gigs were plentiful and drove & roadied less.
I found time and inspiration to write original music turning poems into songs.
The 1st poem from a neighbor ROADMAP:
ROADMAP
Marylou Watkins
Something changed one starless night
The roadmap shifted before the light.
Perceptions, once we thought we knew
Suddenly are no longer true.
The talking heads argue why,
While people lie and children cry,
The heroes try, the unlucky die.
Reality shifts from place to place,
Unseen forces quicken the pace.
The road is forked, the signposts gone,
The future is looking grim.
As we seek to know the truth
In this changing paradigm.
The 2nd poem from a friend FLOW:
FLOW
(a song for sheltering in place)
Marc Berg
Wise man told me long ago when we can’t fight or flee we can FLOW, we can FLOW
Now it’s quiet, we have time, great to have Amazon Prime we can FLOW
Hear the music, feel the beat, make your house all nice and neat
Think of places far from here.
Put your mind in neutral gear.
Comfort food is GOOD for you, order pizza, brownies too we can FLOW
Fields of flowers, golden sand, fun we had in Disneyland we can FLOW
Play the music, feel the beat, make your house all nice and neat
Think of places far from here.
Put your mind in neutral gear.
Take a nap and watch TV, YouTube videos are fun and free, we can FLOW
Pet the dog, stroke the cat, stretch out on your yoga mat we can FLOW
Wise man told me long ago when we can’t fight or flee, we can FLOW
