Nothing Last Forever
Their laughter still echoes forever
Nothing Last Forever
But their laughter is still heard
Their voices
Nothin Last Forever
But our music still rocks, sweetly on
Nothing ever last forever
But the nights alway yield to dawn
Nothing ever last forever but their singing, laughing, poetic voices still do.
Nothing last forever
But these Columbia Canyons continue to stand
Nothing last forever
But these snow capped mountains still stand proud
Nothing last forever they’ve damn up the Big River
But her waters still flows silent and slow
Nothing last forever
But her humor, and joyful gift from God go
To places that I never knew existed
Inspite of all my dead ends and lonely days, nights
As the birds of the river zoom and lights
Inspite of myself and my many missing the mark
Nothing ever last forever but the witnessing their births still do spark
Imagination, fascination, awe struck, to becoming flights
Nothing last forever, but their laughter still does
Their faces still seen
Their stories still do
Their living, learning and finding love
Nothing always is forever ….just moving through
Just because always is forever and forever is because of
Because of one finding one to know, hold, comfort, nuture, assist, admire, adore, love.
Nothing last forever, but their songs
Son, Nothing new under the sun!
Son, don’t piss in the wind!
Son, best you can do is ignore them!
Son, did ya learn something?
Son, you don’t even have a pot to piss in.
Son, what do you got to show for yourself?
Son, put it back where you found it, on that shelf.
Son, close the damn door, were you born in a barn?
Son, don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.
Son, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Son, this is money time in the game.
Son, have you done your chores?
Sons, think you have been tortured enough.
Sons, turn that loud music down that Lizard King and The Doors.
Son, I will be firm and fair.
Son, I have beaten up bigger men, just going to a fight.
Son, I’ll whip ya with one hand tied behind my back.
Son, this is going to hurt you more than me, smack!
Son, you best get down off that roof!
Son, did she tie a can on your tail.
Son, Music played very loud all her ya wail.
Nothing last forever but his words and birthday 5/27
Nothing last forever but the soul who ascends to Heaven
Nothing last forever but the wild and the free and the forgiven and the truth seekers and peace keepers
Son, be someone you want to be with
Productive and deep sleepers
For in this plane of existence your relationships are your greatest gifts, greatest teachers, greatest challenges, greatest lil bo peepers.
Nothing last forever, but some of my dreams do.
Nothing last talking about the past
While trekking in the present moments passing never last
While casting our ideas to the unknown ever calling path.
Nothing last forever, but their laughters still echos sweetly laughs
Son, let me try to explain about man, woman, woman, war and cold winters in North Korea, you are considered expendable. My wounds last forever and so will yours. Your joys will last forever and still do keep breaking on through.
Because Nothing ever stays the same.
You just got to master and learn the game.
Play to win.
Play fair.
Play hard and be proud how you got knocked down and got up again.
Be as light as air.
Play and work first.
You may be excused from the table, be back before its dark.
You may be excused be back before curfew.
You may be excused be back before Midnight.
Testing the edges, testing ourselves…the young the neighborhood crew
The gang, that was constantly changing and nothing ever stayed the same.
Once your a new kid on the block and in school.
Next your graduating High School
And then lost to a world that just does’t get me the idealistic fool.
But I got this Field Trip specialist, camping, working for gas, cigarettes, gear down
And Nothing ever stays the same.
The beer, pot, music, boys, activities and Washington Park
Council Crest and I am on these SW Portland hills down a flaming spark
Nothing last forever the party never ends
Frisbees, dog, brothers, friends.
The Mountains goes on forever,
The Big Rivers says Amen.
The Ocean “The Beach” goes on forever
Says the waves coming in
The etherial lighter than a feather
Nothing last forever
Yet, many things still do
