Well I’ve been a wandering fool now
running free with all my time
and I’m coming into my thirties
with the things a gypsy finds

got some wine to pass the evenings
got some food to break the day
got my eyes for all the ladies
hey now, send me one this way!

got my friends to share my time with
got my friends to go my bail
and its always up and out now
though we’re dying all the way

no, I never knew the time like
I know it now the way it flys
watch your mirror tell the truth now
watch the lines begin to gain

            Smile and flow, touch our cells
               streams of time bound in form, we
            the seeds of suns burn in our eyes
               cast in the relief of these moments
            children of chance, the best of nonsense
               laughing it all away
            we run on and down scarlet streamers
               universes dying to become real
            our cells are our templates, timeless
               behind these moments, our loves, our deaths
            I love our smiles which never cease
               and as our passion bears us again
                  the ground waits beneath us forever

Tapestries surround me … richness and texture
I feel blessed
Helen grows more beautiful with the months …
the rainy afternoon I rode thru to be here, soaked
to be here warm when she came
a warm space and time between two lives so different

And Rose, so much a part of me
let me stray for just a few hours
and I see how beautiful she always is
her hair, her face, her body, her hips
her spirit, her little girl, her mother
all of her just by being in my life blesses me
her love, her nature, her lack of pretense.
