The longest day of the year.
The shortest night.
I think of those whose days are filled with fear,
their dark with fright,
so no matter where the earth does turn,
they cannot win.
Oh Lord, please give this earth
a brand new spin.
To Let Rest
True love lets him sleep till noon
or even past. I’ll wake him soon,
but I have found, sometimes the best
way to love is to let rest.
A Luka Luka Bluka
A luka luka bluka leh?
Yes, soon we will go out and play.
Ek koba kuba goba woo?
Yes, and daddy will come too.
Odak odook bolayaglo.
Oh, now that I didn’t know.
A deeka deeka beeka nee.
I love it when you talk to me.
Just Fine
The excess of society
just means that we, the patient we,
can often get something for free.
And when there’s something someone needs
that’s a business opportunity.
And so we all will be just fine
or maybe we’ll run out of line.
Another Hill
It seems we have come to another hill.
Put it in the lowest gear and pedal hard.
And even if we have to walk this one,
someday we’ll come coasting into the yard.
Sleeping
Sleeping is not easy,
at least not for me. But you– maybe.
No, sleep is not my forte.
And so I empathize with my baby.
Australia
We always wanted to visit Australia,
and now you’re going to be living there.
That exotic land of kangaroos,
and dingos, and koala bears.
But as you know, Australia is normal,
and though it’s on the other side of earth,
you’ll always feel right side up,
yes, even at first.
