  • Sunshine on Baymeadows Road 

Sunshine on Baymeadows Road
Hello mr. sun,
A big hello to you,
Amidst the cold morning,
throught the clouds,
your rays reach out for us down below,
giving us some relief from old man winter.
oh that feeling, that warm feeling,
a ray of sunshine can provide,
like finding water in a desert,
like finding the warm spot on your bed.
may your rays keep beaming down on us,
while we thank God for placing you up there,
keeping shining, shining down on us

  •  The Pill Feeling

As my eyes glaze over,
As my mind frees up and flies,
oh this feeling, this carefree feeling,
erasing all worries, cares, and pains,
this undescribable feeling,

what be this feeling that is taking over,
rise up and search, search for the source,
is it the fragrance of a silent night?
or a fairy with it’s magical dust?

Alas, I have found it,
sitting silently on my table,
a pain pill, a great pill, a seductive pill
calling out like the sirens of the sea,
to consume more of it and erase all worries, cares, and pains,
for I know not to fall in it’s trap,
for I know of it’s great and destructive powers,
consuming souls, bringing the greatest of men to their knees,
such is it’s seductive, addictive power,
turning my eyes away from it,
I close my mind and my eyes,

As my eyes glaze over,
As my mind frees up and flies,
oh this feeling, this carefree feeling,
erasing all worries, cares, and pains,
this undescribable feeling.

  • Anything Goes

Anything goes when you follow your heart,
takes you to distant lands,
can make you feel happy,
also make you feel sad,
can control your life without you knowing it,
but when you follow it,
good things can come out,
find love, happiness, and all,
anything goes,
anything goes when you follow your heart.

  • Tokyo Spirit

The spirit of Tokyo,
within all natives and visitors,
following all their footsteps,
to all the places the people go,
Burning in the heart of everyone,
once touched by the spirit of Tokyo,
a land that is full of wonders,
the city with light that shine loud,
the markets filled with lively sounds.

The sweet sound of children soar,
through the skies and carried by the wind,
the celebrations and enjoyment that the
spirit fills in the visitors and natives,
it does not select, but love all equally,
once you enter the land,
the spirit filled within everyone,
stays and lives within until the end,
love and happiness carried within it,
the spirit of Tokyo.
