Song For Jerry

Playing In The Band

Beginningless Time

Playing 

In the band

Jerry

Lead guitar 

Snaking

Crawling

Free falling

Gonna fall 

Falling down 

Been falling down 

Beginningless time 

Grabbing onto this 

Grabbing onto that 

Fits in this 

Fits in that 

Oh So tired 

I'm falling

Down 


Oh been climbing 

Blown out in the rain 

Blackout blues 

Blown out with

The leaves

Falling down 

Playing In the band 

Beginningless time

Down on the

Horizon line 

Going down

Slow train coming 

Coming up 

Around the 

Bend 


Playing in the band

Beginningless time

Gonna blow your mind 

Join the band

Everybody 

Pick up an instrument 

Clairet, saxophone, 

Drums, electric guitar 

Anything 

Grab an instrument 

We're all Playing 

In the band

Beginningless 

Time



Shake those bones

Shake those 

Old bones 

Shaking 

Dancing through time 

Captain Trips

At the Wheel

Shredding rhymes 

Younger or older 

Don't make 

Any difference 

Playing in the 

Band

Never

Ending 

Fading 

Time 


Everybody's 

Down on 

Horizon line 

Ripping 

Through time

Baby we're 

Ripping 

Though 

Time


Jerry's back

Playing 

In the band

Beginningless 

Time

Jamming 

Space

Drums

Getting 

Going

Further 

Playing

Down on

Horizon 

Line

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
