Under One Roof
Hope everyone is having a warm, safe and healthy holiday. Wrote a little something that stemmed from thoughts of this time of Year. Merry Christmas yall!!!
Clyde Alves @ The Bitter End Sunday, November 13th 8:30 PM
Here's my next gig. It's my original music performed by myself and some special guests! I'll have Danny Taylor on the Cajon and Eric B. Davis on Guitar! You'll of course be treated to the sweet harmonies of Robyn Hurder and Tacy Jai Edwards. Come on out everyone!
Ode
A little getaway in the depleted state can feel like the day before a
hike up mount everest
You know that when you get there you gonna feel like a million bucks
but that bag needs to be packed, the car service needs to be booked,
and arrive on time for your 6:30 am flight outta JFK. Your airfare is
too expensive to fly direct so you opt for the Buffalo flight, then a
dollar rent a car over the border to Toronto. You are also aware weeks
beforehand that you gotta do it all over again in reverse the next
morning to get back for the all important work day you've worked so
hard to be so fortunate to hold down.
My travels where as expected above but no matter what you know your
obligations to be or what experience has suggested, you're still taken
by the human element. The part when you look into someones eyes and
though contact has been frequent over the years, you know this to be
unique.
In a day of long distance telephone plans, iChat, Skype, facetime,
facebook, twitter and YouTube it's easy forego that moment.
I'm crossing the border for the zillionth time
I know the drill but a fresh perspective's mine
The girl beside me keeps her cool but radiates like the morning sun to
a jewel
The idea flows that through the chaos is an underlying tone of things
being just right
It's the saving grace of an almost sleepless night
I open the door to my closests
It's the most heightened casual
A special norm
A sweet crawler, not too far from just born
The past takes over and in an instant we are working
This time together
Better than ever
Puffballs and streamers
Wine glass stemmed pipe cleaners
A mic, a guitar
This reaches far
The music plays
Speeches made
We joke but today's your day
A laugh infectious
Courageous, boundless
Attention rivaling the best of artists
Our ode to you
Happy 60th Mom!
