Do you yoga now?
Or Pilate's, Bikram yoga

I'm just grateful for Coldplay-
And the music plays on-
Walls Crumble, pen and paper fade-
Welcome to the digital age-
Time goes by, but some things remain-
Love, Loss, Grief, Pain, Knowledge and Ignorance-
Art, Music, Words, Scripts, Hero's, Organic Food-
Soy products, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Don't abuse-
Alcohol, swear words, sin, redemption, choices, faith-
Drinks, Drugs, Rock N Roll-
Love, Light, Faith, Democracy-
And the world goes round-
History keeps track-
Of all the things we give and all the things we lack-
Rhyme words to give us a look back-
To Speak, Express, and Give Back-

-Janie
