The only good thing about the good old days is they’re gone.

Finally, spring bursting free
Playful nature shares its toys
At long last, wintertime flees
Every blossom spreading joy
Until needed later on
Winter’s layers stored away
Coats, scarves, hats, mittens . . . all gone!
Cooler clothing on its way
Every day, more green arrives
Essence of freshly cut grass
Sun leads chorus of high fives
More sparkling than clearest glass
Clouds away on vacation
Big sky forming overhead
Gardens erupt with color
Warmer days racing ahead
Farmers ready to sow crops
Stewards of earth’s blessed land
Fed with sun and rainy drops
Autumn’s harvest soon at hand

Spring singing praises
Greener lawns growing thicker—
Revving up mowers
Thunderstorm’s downpour
Lifeboats unavailable—
Trusty umbrella
Swirling wind tunnel
One step forward, two steps back—
Clutching friend’s tow rope

When the world becomes a massive mess with nobody at the helm, it’s time for artists to make this work.
I see music as fluid architecture.

Hey you, yes you!
Sitting there alone
Life without a view
Lack of efficient action
Reaping fear and doubt
Living without traction
Being a loyal member
Procrastinators Club
Ever since November
Life’s emotional quicksand
Robbing your life rewards
Time to join a new band
Do you really desire?
To find true happiness
Without life’s misfires
Seeking God’s advice
He’ll always support you
His Grace pays the price
Spending little attention
With overwhelming fears
Can’t relax without tension
Take courage, now believe
Jesus conquers the world
Time for your life to achieve
Released from gloom
Fleeing this quagmire
Life ready to bloom
King’s Solomon’s words implant
Whoever watches the wind
Will never attempt to plant
Time to change is now
Adopt new life patterns
Sowing with a new plow
Here’s some simple advice
Now follow this amazing tip
Better than throwing dice
Do first things—first!
Better sooner, than later
Darkest clouds now burst
Each challenge, take it on
Looking fear in the face
Reaping rewards, feeling strong
Handling life, forever free
Tearing up my membership
Procrastinator, no longer me

From American writer and lecturer, Dale Carnegie: “Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
