I write randomly inspired poems. All pseudonyms are mine.
I hear that Ovid experienced
The same thing I did as well,
No matter how bad it's in Heaven
Wonderful places not home are Hell.
To be on the Earth of my home,
To have my feet square on the ground,
I wake up so far away, parted by oceans
And this poem is the only sound.

In the country of my birth
The most beautiful place on Earth
I knew everyone, it contained
Every person I'd ever known.
Now I know only myself;
Elsewhere completely alone.
Ancient philosophers tell us:
Know yourself, indeed
But I've studied Socrates;
Poems are what I need.

In the country of my youth
Before I left it for good (and ill)
I saw the snow drifting from outside
My Las Vegas windowsill.
My mother pruned the rose garden
Roses yellow, orange, red
I sat on the seat by the window
Then woke up in a different country's bed.

On Winter Wonderland, if you listen closely you can hear that the bass player starts off flat but adjusts their tuning after Ramsey Lewis comes in on the piano. Back in the day when you couldn't just delete and start all over cause actual tape was a limited resource.

That we would be saved
in the end it was
