After 38 ½ hours of wakenness
I am more alive than ever before
After 38 ½ hours of wakenness
...
The bane of my existence
Is in the finer acts
The acts to small to recognize
The acts that I always surmise
...
This is what I have to say
You have made my day
You have made my life the way
It is upon this very day
...
The meal it was good
As well it should
The waitress is looking fine
But she will not be mine
...
I walk and talk and sing
I wonder over everything
I talk the talk
And walk the walk
...
Often in my wondering ways I find
That dreams are only for the dreamer
I find that life can give to my nothing
But the dreams I give to it
...
Roses red and violets blue
The poem says that I love you
I know the rest and so do you
But can we really know it’s true
...
In the darkness of the night
I hear the unending plight
Of those who try to fight
In the darkness of the night
...
If life is rich with love
And love is rich with life
Than I am poor for I
Have no life filled with love
...
Living inside the emptiness
Heart and chain combined
Broken by pure loveliness
Yet that to is denied
...
Working on the trinity ploy
My mind feels like a toy
And in the hustle bustle wiz
I enter into big show biz
...
The King spoke in his pride
Of the men despising
He’s every lordly stride
Upon this day of rising
...
Here alone I sit and wait
Watching TV, it’s getting late
Around, around my mind it goes
The living meaning no one knows
...
The senseless pain upon this world
Is grim, dark and everlasting
But hope like smoke is curled
And bent and mesmerizing
...
38 ½ Hours
After 38 ½ hours of wakenness
I am more alive than ever before
After 38 ½ hours of wakenness
I see the world through better eyes
After 38 ½ hours of wakenness
I dream no more and feel just joy
I see, I feel, I hear, I taste
Love all around
And so doth my heart go out to
Those in love
And so doth my heart to feel
That love inside
With healing hands
And healing heart I walk
Throughout this life I now
Feel nothing but love and joy
Compassion for those in love
I rejoice for them
And love for them
And know I not will find love soon
