Little Art Projects

I've never been particularly talented at art, and I'll try to avoid posting these little lyric projects too often... although I almost got inspired to make one out of Miley Cyrus song! But I enjoy doing them, and when they're done, they feel completed - they feel whole. I feel like I accomplished something. They're not my words or concepts, but I pick songs that give me "heart floods" when I listen to them. Heart floods are when my heart fills a feeling that has no emotonal precursor. It just sort of happens.

Leopard Now Revised

A sheep first shorn in the Spring Bare & afraid But pleased Having never been before shorn, Then the Lamb Lead to a Slaughter What beautiful eyes you have, Caretaker Then the Leopard The littlest of four Solitary Unlucky But what a jaw, Momma.

Stories

A different love story Love story all the same At first sight First sip Slap - Shot A game One big win on this side Big losses on the other Hitting the jackpot Neither took more than the other was willing to give In a sense Look at the consequence Not a decision weighed Decision not made A decision given But a decision taken

RUSH

If you rush the field The field will be there for you to rush The field will take it laying down FLAT I am not the field If you rush the player He'll not take it sitting down Do not show him mercy Because he will show you none Beware if you rush the player He might rush you back I am the player Do not rush me If you run with the bulls Side by side and by them Appreciate their grace Their hospitality Share in what they have Sometimes I am that bull But be warned if you try to fight the BULL You won't know what you're in for Any bull will fight back Any bull will run you down If you fight me I will run you down Sometimes I am that bull
