Going...Going...Gone

OKLAHOMA by s. streight

Oklahoma sunshine, Oklahoma rain
Oklahoma wind whistlin' down the lane
Oklahoma cattle fed on Oklahoma grain
morals and values deeply ingrained.
Oklahoma crops in Oklahoma fields
Oklahoma sky, Oklahoma hills
Oklahoma people working with a will
tilled warm soil and oil drilled.
Oklahoma Indians quite aplenty.
Iron red dirt shinin' like a penny.
Cowboys, ranches, rodeos and cows,
tornado alley and powwows,
early morning grass, wet with dew
panoramic views, mountains too,
instill in the heart a closeness to the land
making life here, Oklahoma grand.

EMOTION by s. streight

Deep, deep as the sea
is my love for thee.
And swift, swift as a river
flow emotion underneath.
Then hot, hot as an ember
a red, hot cinder
the passion does stir
making all senses a spinning blur.
Now silent, very quiet, my love does grow
stronger and bolder in an never-ending flow.
Higher, ever higher, it will never end
reaching forward again and again.

MOMENTS OF LIFE by s. streight

In these moments of mortal life
amidst all the human stress and strife
it’s been my observation, that the inner situation
dictates the clarity of outer sensations.
