This Door
©2015 Ken Clinger
this door opens outward
promises, no guarantee
attraction with no recognition
moth to flame
too charmed to disagree
—*—
hide and seek
and lost and found
lose to gain
this time around
forget, remember
break the mold
odds & ends
return as gold
in between
the near and far
the morning
and the evening star
hit or miss
both have their gain
all is given
all remain
—*—
this love
is all that matters is
this love
is all that matters is
this love
is all that matters is
this love
is all that matters is
this love
—*—
this door opens inward
recognized affinity
open ended augmentation
flowers to sunshine
join infinity

Recognition (2015)
lyrics ©2015 Ken Clinger
music ©2010,2015 Ken Clinger
——-
sonic focus
blending sounds
choice objective
instinctive bounds
calming center
graceful guide
deeper fusion
awake inside
—-
lucid wonder
contemplate
recognition
captivate
soft attention
responsiveness
revelation
acquiesce
——-
inner within the outer
outer reflecting in
light within the darkness
silent sounds within
traces of eternity
within the day to day
finding deeper meaning
in the things we say
—-
this love, so wonderful
beyond what words can say
how can this be forgotten
in the light of day
——
reconnection
recognize
kind submission
energize
soothing whisper
deep inside
subtle transfer
gentle guide

Sparkling
©2015 Ken Clinger
-*-
wind is blowing thru the pines
the humming of the bees
gentle whispers in your ears
the roaring of the sea
intensity of flowers
solemnity of trees
clouds creating patterns
murmurs from the breeze
-*-
can you see this sparking light
can you hear this sparkling sound
can you feel this sparkling love
between and around, us
see this sparkling light
hear this sparkling sound
feel this sparkling love
between and around, us
-*-
all is here and all is now
the humming of the spheres
motionless yet growing
it whispers in your ears
accepting and accepted
open ears and eyes
always unexpected
yet always recognized
-*-

A Little Bird Told Me
©2016 Ken Clinger
a little bird told me
you’ve a lot on your plate
you’ve gone a bridge too far
you’re all over the map
with all your eggs in one basket
you’ve got to lower the bar
—-
I said a fresh pair of eyes
above and beyond
will blow the cobwebs away
if I cast a long shadow
while I’m chasing rainbows
will you say I’m no work and all play
—-
the little bird told me
you’re ahead of the curve
but you’re all dressed up with nowhere to go
an ounce of protection’s
worth a pound of cure
be sure you’ve got all your ducks in a row
———————————-
the little bird told me
you’re coming up roses
but you can’t see the forest for the trees
it’s your day in the sun
but your days are numbered
if you wear your heart on your sleeve
—-
I said: I’ll go the distance
and I’ll dot all my i’s
and then I’ll cross all my t’s
but if I sweat all the small stuff
and I’m taken by storm
I’ll know that’s the nature of the beast
———————————-
the little bird told me
if you take it or leave it
or you take it all in stride
if you take the plunge
and you take the fall
will that be a thorn in your side?
—-
I’ll throw my hat in the ring
I’ll throw pearls before swine
I’ll even throw caution to the wind
but if it tickles my fancy
with a tie that binds
I’ll still make it thru thick and thin
—-
then the little bird told me
if you tilt at windmills
and you do it time and time again
you’ll reach the tipping point
where there’s no turning back
and you’ll have to begin from the end
———————————-

Pieces
©2015 Ken Clinger
your beauty hides the other side
nonverbal interaction
do you even know what you just said
is this pain or pleasure
is this even real
primitive excitement, and dread
echoes from forgotten times
bewildering attraction
something unpredicted lies ahead
—-
meanwhile beyond space and time
beyond the ebb and flow
all is here and now yet moving onward
sitting on a mountaintop
or passing thru a crowd
gliding on the music of a songbird
all residing in the here and now
all resolving in the here and now
—-
beauty as a burden
I fail if I submit
behind it all, a broken-hearted child
promises that you imply
the pieces do not fit
fleeting ecstasy intense and wild
the pieces come from long ago
their rhymes now contradict
distorting memories of when we smiled
—-
rising from the ashes
of a broken heart in time
love is here and now yet still we grow
remembering eternity
where all the pieces rhyme
everything we are we come to know
all residing in the here and now
all resolving in the here and now
