Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery
Breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?
from the song Sign written by Les Emmerson and performed by The Five Man Electrical Band, 1970

if i could be a bridge at dusk,
i’d carry you gently into the night
a frigid winter afternoon with sunny rays bouncing from glass buildings and the sounds of kids skating and of laughter
a dark morning at 5:00 am when the blankets are warm and the snow swirls outside and there is still time to cling to a tiny sliver of sleep
returning home from hours away, being greeted by a jumping and licking pup who looks alternately like a little lamb or a tiny baby bear cub
a warm hug and genuine love from the little boy turned young man i will set free to be grown and be good and be kind in this vast and wonderful world
the glow and the gleam
and the tiny spirit sparks distilled,
separated,
independent from the whole
and yet integral to the complete picture
