May the sun set on the wrongs of yesterday
May they scurry off to another corner of the planet while you sleep
And bite someone else's leg
May you know peace
And may all who live in the shadow of love
Step boldly into the light and drop the weapons of wicked words
Shed the armor of fear
And pick up shuttle
You can weave real, lasting peace into the fabric of your life
With every breath
Every thought
Every action
It all begins with you
Why waste another minute?

I'm covered in patches
Invisible stitches
I need your hand
I just can't feel them
Light up my cells
Smooth out my wrinkles
Love reaches out
Touch me, I'm gold

Misery & mistakes
Green little creatures
The power to collect and create
Is the most envied job in the universe

It sounds like an arcade down there
Noise and games
Stop the train!
Or wave it through
It won't stop in my small town
But it comes by every day
With its steam or pollution or noise
Who is responsible?

Life is worth living when love is in it
Love is balance, peace, and kindness
Loving makes me a tolerable creature
Love is warmth on a windy day
Love is a light heart
Free from mind's chains
Love is a gift more valued than gold
Love is your future
Love lets go
Loving is giving – all are deserving
Open the gates you locked long ago
Love is a highway
A two lane road
May your soul come to rest in love's quiet coves

Oh baby, yeah, baby
Tell me what I want to hear
You're an itch
I have to scratch
Come on over here
'Cause the blood reveals the pain
Of the war against my womb
They say it's better off a tomb
Until I reach my thirties dear
But abstinence won't keep a man
For ten years while you plan
Marry young and make the babies
Or sleep around then tie one down
Just in time to buy the diapers
What's a modern girl to do?
Keep her sanity or chastity
Go to work and go to school
What are the rules in this new era?
Born in chaos either way
Good enough's not good enough
When there's time enough to play

A hundred autumn leaves
Gracefully dancing down across light currents
On a backlit tree
The sun sets on the person we
Grew out of today
Now, only laughter and fond memories

My heart is a purse
With gold latches
In a tall, square, blue velvet box
Open it
It's filled with confetti

He's strumming a guitar
Sitting at a desk
Piled high with papers
The marshmallow man
Walks through the chain-link fence
Skin patterned blue
Plaid and paisley stripes
Creeping up the arms
Like a sky infection
Twice
I got a long way to go
To get back to where I was
I'm in love with my bed
Tomorrow I rise
