The Light inside
All Nature is alive in you.
The Light inside
May seem to dim, but never dies.
You are the image and the proof
That All is One in Love and Truth—
The Light inside.

#LyrePoem Nonet #2 Potatoes
Thank you, Idaho, for all you give:
Potatoes keeping tummies full.
So versatile and tasty,
And they last a long time.
Boiled, baked, fried or grilled…
Fruit of the Earth,
Potatoes,
I love
You!
Lullaby of the Ages on BJL Lyres
This is a piece I wrote several years ago. It sounds especially beautiful played on Brandon John Luthiery lyres with steel strings.
19-string acoustic lyre, played as originally composed
16-string solid body lyre, slight modifications because you don’t have the F3. Also, I forgot the intro. Oops!
Double strung is my favorite way to play this piece! Here I play 2 19-string acoustic BJL lyres.
And because I wrote it on this instrument, here it is on Lynda Lyre
Added 7/6/26
7-string pentatonic lyre with Pickaso Rotary Bow. This is the standard G major pentatonic tuning, and the melody is slightly modified.
#LyrePoem Triolet #2 Boat Ride
Take comfort in the rocking boat.
Relax and leave the land behind.
Your mind and body gently float;
Take comfort in the rocking boat.
And in this moment, make a note,
While savoring the peace you find.
Take comfort in the rocking boat.
Relax and leave the land behind.
#LyrePoem Rondelet #1 Strength
The strength I need
Is hard to come by many days.
The strength I need…
I call and call; it will not heed.
And when it comes, it doesn’t stay.
If only I could somehow save
The strength I need!
#LyrePoem Limerick #2 Lyres
Loving comfort is wrapped in the sound.
Young and elderly all gather round.
Radiant when it rings,
Ev’ry note, ev’ry string.
Simple beauty and magic profound!
Note: You may have noticed that this poem is an Acrostic as well as a Limerick.
#LyrePoem Nonet #1 Choosing You
There are people who can’t stand to see
That you are happy and fulfilled!
Living with them is the worst,
But don’t let them hurt you.
Stay on your journey;
Maintain your joy!
Live your life…
Choosing
YOU!
#LyrePoem Cake Hack
Grab gelatin or pudding too,
And just one extra egg improves.
In place of water, try some milk
To make the batter smooth as silk.
Use melted butter, not the oil,
And smile at everyone you foil!
A box of cake mix? Wow! Who knew?
There’s some to share… Or all for you!
#LyrePoem Triolet #1 Zombie
I’m not asleep… i’m not awake…
I’m going through the motions tough.
No meds to blame or drinks of late,
I’m not asleep… i’m not awake…
If I pretend… If I just fake,
The zombie me is good enough.
I’m not asleep… i’m not awake…
I’m going through the motions tough.
#LyrePoem Limerick #1 In Between
Most of life is the space in between
The beginnings and endings, it seems.
So take joy in it all…
Ev’ry rise, even falls –
And don’t wait for success to be free!
