even karma has a way of getting lost sometimes
...that’s when happenstance rules the day
it happens that way sometimes
having a soul that is peaceful and content;
it don’t come easy
it’s all those mind games we get caught up in
like rocks in our shoes
that keep us from being at peace so I say
laying in bed munching on some toast and drinking some tea
if nothing else gets done today, I’m alright with it
don’t hold a wake over past mistakes they say
it’s all a big dream anyway ya know and you gotta wake up
what’s important here? love is important
wherever you can find it
decided to leave my humble abode and off I strode
down the road not knowing where I’d go
just following the tide and it was low
maybe just a stone’s throw, I don’t know
I had that thought walking into the usual place
the usual bartender wasn’t there as usual
they said he had a heart attack
maybe one of us regulars had left him a tip
well, never death-- never life
I told his replacement
let me have a double in his honor
