Tom ~ I have had my head stuck.. somewhere. Time to drag it out for poetry. I just now read Rambi's post and your response. Ha! More like sitting under a tree, slightly tipsy from fermented cider, while doling out what are taken for deep riddles, because they sound wise but don't quite make sense. Could be they just don't make sense. But then what does? Penni is wonderful, too, and the family. I know what you mean about hearing something you wrote, or helped write, as a song. Penni snatched up a poem, went to the piano, and boom!! 'Twas music. It was so incredible to hear it come to life, and her voice is so lovely. It was fun bringing in the "box" that I carry my life in and going through it. And funny to find snippets and bits, and scratch my head. "I wrote that??? When??" Good thing I usually date them. Then on the penni liked, there was a scrawl at the bottom from someone else. "I love you, <word>". I read it as a name, signature, and was a bit distressed that I had no recollection of the person. "Who loves me?" Then realized it said "honey" and recalled who wrote it. Ah, well. Your song is neat. Maybe we'll get to hear it sometime.

Ready for Heaven (the suicide song) <just joking> ~ it's taken a lifetime of living to sing this song i know how I'm feeling may be wrong but it all has taken so very long i'm ready for heaven right now can't you see it in the palm of your hand traces of the garden on this sacred land paradise is waiting for your command i'm ready for heaven right now centuries of living have come to this together at the edge of the abyss while standing in the Eden of our wish i'm ready for heaven right now that's the penni/jp song. I hope you get to hear her sing it sometime. The third verse I wrote on the drive out of Texas. Co-writer thought it needed another verse, which it did. I'm not entirely sure about the reptition of "living". I like the essense of the verse, but I'm still pondering it. It was a shower song. My muse likes water, it seems, and singing in the shower or wherever there is water. It is pleasant, except when the hot water runs out in the middle of a verse. As to your feeling old, you will always be Young Tom to me. That's great about the group! I would think it might make a nice change from the studies, as well. Trade in all that heavy thinking for some jamming. It's turned nice here again. The dogwoods are really blossoming out. Ahhh, spring! jp
