A Brother Like No Other

I have a brother,

He plays keyboard in a band,

Ronnie is his name,

He's my brother,

He’s like no other.

 

I watch while his friends jeer,

Call him crazy,

I cringe inside,

He's my brother.

 

He wilts quicker than others,

They say Ronnie's a sissy,

Call him crazy,

Call him a girl,

They tell him how pretty he looks

With his braided curls.

 

I get mad,

Yell,

Lash out,

I tell them

He's my brother,

He ain’t no sissy,

He’s not a girl.

 

He's Ronnie,

He’s my brother,

He’s like no other.

 

They whisper behind cupped hands,

They point,

They snicker,

They grin as he walks by,

They ask their small-minded friends,

Do you see that boy?

His name is Crazy Ronnie,

He must be gay.

 

I want to tell them about my brother,

How when he plays the keyboard

Magic sweeps into a room,

It transports you to another land,

It fills your mind,

Your soul,

Your spirit

With beauty,

It takes you beyond this visible world,

It’s angelic.

 

This man who plays keyboard in the band,

The man they know as Crazy Ronnie,

Does not exist.

 

I see a musician who moves me deeply,

A magician,

A poet,

A seer.

 

The music

And the musician

Unfold before my eyes,

As I listen and watch,

I see a thing of beauty,

He is talented beyond belief,

Bestowed with a gift,

He is unique,

Courageous.

 

Simply put,

This is my brother whom I love,

He is like no other.

Control and Power

Don’t get on your high horse,

 

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

 

And so will you,

 

There will be a public display,

 

You will be put to shame.

 

 

Stay on the ground,

 

This is where you belong,

 

There nothing can go wrong.

 

 

Still,

 

If you ride the high horse,

 

Then who am I?

 

My power to influence has vanished,

 

And someone else will sing my song.

 

Unexpected Gifts from Heaven

From the point of knowing,

 

Understanding who and what we are,

 

Innate,

 

Tangible,

 

Nonetheless intangible,

 

Veiled in mysticism,
