Too many thingsWhich should stay?Which should go?Property is a curious thingAll I want to own is my wordsBut, once they are readThey are yours, as well Collected so muchIn my years on this earthToo much sentiment tiedTo many simple trinketsBits, bobs, odds, and endsGathering dust in neglectWhat value do they have left?

Singing the soundtrack of my lifeGiving off those precious vibesTakes my mind away from strifeWhilst media goes off on diatribes She’s the empress of songStripping away all the wrongLeft my heart out to bearAs her vibes help me repair 2020

Words are like little magic spellsYou cast them by the tongue or the penOr by swipe of a finger or stroke of key Words of anger and hateAre like black magicThey can make thingsWither and dieSpirits crumbleAnd beauty waste away Words of kindness and loveAre like the whitest magicMake life and all in it bloomGrow…
I was left to wander aloneIn this desert, hair windblownI’m a dry, hot, beautiful messWritten off, but not distressedFinding peace and companyIn these wide open spacesI now sing my desertsong Still a mess, but lovely in itHot by day, too cool at nightFriends with the desert foxAnd with the lizards and hawksI’m never alone out…
