“Back To Earth”

The ‘leaves’ on the left tree are actually birds.
Playing in the snow
Or climbing in the trees
Not sure which is the more
Important of these.
Siblings came but soon
The family was gone.
Hard to know what pain
Would be felt later on.
Safe and secure I
Always knew I was loved.
Learned hard lessons ’cause
I pulled instead of shoved.
Everything is everyone
Everyone is everything.
We all start the journey
From the place of our birth
But going to heaven or hell
Just brings us back to Earth.
Singing and writing
Playing in a great band
Gave me more than life
I hope you understand.
Truth may be out there
But answers never are.
That was the last time I prayed
Or wished upon a star.
We all start the journey
From the place of our birth
But going to heaven or hell
Just brings us back to Earth.
The day my kids were born
I was fundamentally changed.
Nothing I wouldn’t do
So life could be arranged
That’s another thing
That didn’t work as planned.
It ripped away everything
I still hope you understand.
We all start the journey
From the place of our birth
But going to heaven or hell
Simply brings us back to Earth.
Depression is a friend
Feeding on personal loss.
I’m told it comes down to “42”
But sure their fingers were crossed.
From here nothing matters
Save friendship, love and trust.
What more could you possibly need
When everything turns to dust?
What more could you possibly need
When everything turns to dust?
The Story Has Been Told

I began this blog to share stories of people and events I have been lucky enough to be involved with over the last five decades. Along with my poetry and original music I also enjoyed sharing my pictures and personal observations.
While I am sure there will also be beautiful and exciting things to share in my future, I also want to chill. I need to make life simpler from here on.
I have enjoyed this community and those willing to share everything with total strangers. There were many times when this was the hi-light of my day. I could go on posting my views and thoughts on politics, religion, money and other hot topics but there are too many of us doing that these days. So this is a good time to phase out MIDI Mike.
While the site remains live, feel free to take a look at the topics on the top of the page to find something that might interest you.
I may throw in a post from time to time just to surprise myself. In my usual style, let me show you a few recent pictures I took at a favorite place of mine: Spring Grove Cemetery. We had a heavy rain days before these pictures with hi winds. Before that the fall colors were really starting to jump out. Unfortunately the rain hit a bit early and dropped most of the leaves, but I managed to get some good pictures.

Recordings From The Vault

This is an early recording of a Cincinnati band “Chakras”. I recorded them back when I used the ADAT digital tape recorder. It does not have the ‘bling’ of modern recordings but I think you will enjoy the performance.
