Stay Open
Keep the lights on.
Keep the drink flowing, and the food hot.
Abort fear campaigns and stay open.
Let the smiles hold sway.
Slurp the noodles.
Laugh boisterously.
Ignore drone death.
Stay safe, by staying alive
***
The Party
We shall finally rest
Dancing in green fields at the foot of mountains
In the safety of awakened love
The village warm
The party ready
Nothing but celebration
And work worth doing
Eating the days alive
No longer ignoring the
Joy of the earth
As she throbs with delight
***
Running
A friend's shining face
From her red car in the fall
I feel beyond time
I run with the leaves
chattering on the pavement
cheerful paper bells
When I reach my mark
I stop the music and walk
waking from the dream
