So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each man's genius contracts itself to a very few hours.

GRACE IN RETROSPECT
Beauty of raising sun at break of dawn
Forever can’t hold on after it is gone
Beauty of sun setting in to ocean in evening
At the night’s beginning is not forever holding
Beauty of blooming flowers in all different colors
Is only passing pictures before its time to wither
Only grace in retrospect
Beauty of changing seasons for nature’s good reasons
Is only temporary vision of life’s many illusions
Beauty of many events sweet and sad moments
Are only time’s sentiments of ascent and descent
Beauty of life’s birth on this mortal earth
Is faith of truth before time for death
Only grace in retrospect

Get Another Routine
This is the message...
For those still trying,
To get the same tired act together...
Forget it!
Get another routine.
At least one that appears to be,
Something that is consistent...
With the way things are today.
Revisiting yesterday with determination,
Says one thing about those who attempt to do this...
A comfort has been found in the exploration of limitation.
And the growth of technology has already made many victims.
This is the message...
For those still trying,
To get the same tired act together...
Forget it!
Get another routine.
What your ancestors did,
And those before them...
Is not going to spread your mustard.
Or connect you to those hours of tomorrow,
Flashing by your eyes 'today'.
This is the message...
For those still trying,
To get the same tired act together...
Forget it!
Get another routine.
If you are waiting to taste a sandwich wished...
It is recommended you acquire another taste.
Or select something else to nibble.
It would be wise if you tried!
I'm sure your ancestors did this...
Or you would not be here,
Discussing their contributions to your stagnation.
This is the message...
For those still trying,
To get the same tired act together...
Forget it!
Get another routine.

If you stick with a vision, it might not all work, but some of it will be absolute genius. To me, 15 minutes worth of absolute genius in a film is so much better than two hours of mediocrity. I would rather pay to see something different like that.

Queen Of The Hours
Queen of the hours lies waiting for the wind to blow away the veil of time
Slowly now the threads of age are starting to unwind
(chorus:)
Queen of the hours
Along, along, along the path of time, of time,
She is still
The clock shall tell the tale
When all is well, is well.
Black was the night that came in from the east and caused the land to sleep.
Riding on a storm, it carved a message in isabella creek.
(chorus)
Dawn is the death wish night has passed away, it left the sacred flower,
Opened up the grave and bowed its life unto the queen of hours.

One Has to Get Up Before Dawn
I want to grey.
I want it known I have aged,
And earned my way.
I want it clear I am no child.
I have been around for a while!
Learning and hoping I am improved.
Those who wish to sit and revisit their youth...
Are fine with me.
I do that all the time myself.
When I am out walking and hiking.
Exercising and watching what I eat.
And not being conscious of aging at all.
I did that in my teens and twenties!
Wanting to be grown and doing it quickly.
And when 59 came?
Who knew I would feel 39 at 61?
Passing for someone aged 55!
And lieing that I am yet 50 years of age.
But when one keeps fit...
That's the fun of it all!
No one has to know I look like Godzilla,
In the early hours of the morning.
Just before dawn.
And that's what I recommend.
Getting up just before dawn.
Taking at least two hours to pull it together...
Because that's how long it is going to take.
Before any public appearances.
There is no need to scare anyone,
Who has become accustomed to your 'youthful' glow!
They do not have to know,
How much effort it actually takes!
There's a routine I do everyday.
It takes hours off of one's physical appearance.
However...
Do not!
I repeat...
Do not get caught in rush hour traffic.
Someone might get a glimpse...
And off you go.
Carted away to someone's zoo!
That happened to one of my neighbor's!
But I think she is undergoing a major makeover.
I haven't seen her in months!
Although her backyard is littered with peanut shells,
And banana skins!
I told a couple of friends of mine,
My next door neighbor reminded me of Bubbles!
You remember?
Bubbles?
Michael Jackson's pet monkey?
She did.
But not all the time!
I did call her Halle a couple of times.
But I was only joking!
AND...
When you get to become a certain age?
Everything is hysterically funny!
But...
One has to get up before dawn,
To practice working on the routine to be exercised.

In Search Of Peace Of Mind
If you are in search of peace of mind,
Don't search it anywhere in the land;
If you decide your path and duties
your future and routine activities,
Peace will come and kneel on your feet
paving red carpet on your path.

This IS Time!
Enchanting Time
When casually
uttered words
may seem only
for you…
When a routine
all-in the-day's smile
is thought as
directed towards you…
what's exclusive
is treated as routine
an enchanting smile
is viewed as twisted
What else
but the hand of time
I'm too small to recount!

Brilliant Genius, April Fool So Tedious
April Fool So Tedious……,
Brilliant Genius, Brilliant Genius …..,
Through an elite prism he sees us……,
Brilliant Genius, Brilliant Genius …..,
One step short of Jesus…….,
No doubt he doesn’t need us……,
And would never heed us……,
But wants to clothe and feed us……,
Poor bare lawn, he’d even seed us…….,
Just like a lonely, forlorn Venus……,
April Fool So Tedious……,
Brilliant Genius, Brilliant Genius…..! ! !

On That Path
I'm on that path,
So was my mother,
I'm on that path,
Just like my brother.
I'm on that path,
I didn't know my father,
I'm on that path,
And i am the master.
I'm on that path,
upon the good, straying from evil.
I'm on that path-
There is no cheating.
I'm on that path,
God knows i need him.
I'm on that path,
and i hope i'm never leaving ;)

Lyrical Genius,
lyrical genius,
compare the man of genius,
to all those,
who wish to reach our level,
when you see me,
I got lyric's,
The diction of poetry,
the euphoric nature,
the rythmic tone,
the man of genius reveal's some occult power,
morals and grace,
not playing the victim of false pity,
just like will power,
in nothingness of distinguish character,
the prodigy in the society,
the seeing as the menace,
the crime from man of genius,
man of genius reveal's so much poetic language,
write some classic lyric's,
think of another enigma,
nostalgia, retribution,
bloody fiend,
all those men of genius from history did these,
genius has to go with the moral's,
grace and morality,
will to create in humanity,
not to ruin humanity,
think and act right,
the world belong's to us.

Lifes path
There are so many paths in life
I guess I could say
I ve walked them all
The right path
The wrong path
The path of pain
The path of good
The path of bad
Which path do I now take
At this present time of life
The path I take is the path of pain.
The path of hurt
So many paths I have walked
But im lost in the path
The path of pain
