Life is filled with Signs, directions There is a helpful pattern And if you follow All the rules Your car won’t End up shattered Yes, a car can be Pretty dangerous Drive with care So you’re not In a pickle And for God’s sake When you’re driving Use your Turn #signal! #vss365

All of the gas That comes out of My #cravasse Maybe that’s why We have global warming It’s really insane How much methane I put into the atmosphere All of my toots Caused by beans Meats and fruits I’ll give you a Necessary warning It’s alienating And really frustrating #vss365

#Judgment When rightly applied Is an opening Of the eyes Judgment When wrongly offered Is like muck and mire In the water It’s what makes life So hard Considering the way That we’re wired It’s what makes life So good When everything Is understood Give me proper discernment… #vss365

Just the tip Of the iceberg Only skindeep A love that’s Not like a laser A hope that’s Barely hope #Immerse yourself! Dive deeper Than the surface Immerse yourself Fill ur world With purpose The ocean Is a metaphor For all there is To see&know The sky Opens our imagination To see how far We can go

My #tether’s Got some reach Lets me play Among the stars My feet were never good Just on the ground The ether Is my teacher Sometimes stay But travel far My ambition is to find A newer sound My feet were never good Just on the ground My ambition is to find A newer sound #vss365 #winsome

Let love #linger Wrap a ribbon Round your finger Put up post-its On your mirror Live your life With fun and furor Remember that Everything dies Fill your day With satisfying sighs Fill your eyes With the feast of Beautiful skies #vss365

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK TWENTY ONE A collection of my "greatest hits" from about twenty albums, compiled in 2024. (Also on Spotify--link in comments.) If you haven't listened to my stuff, this is a good place to check out what I do! gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/best-of

A bit of #betrayal Opens the door A little betrayal To a lot more Like Judas With the coin purse Or a billionaire Taking from the poor And thinking It’s fair Like the one Who uses Authority To take the freedom From you and me #vss365

Content Cause I know my #Intent I’m pleased So I’m At ease As you grow older You grow bolder Learn to love your skin Have a world within I might be misunderstood But I’m good It’s all good #vss365

#Feral and fierce My heart is pierced Your spirit Spirit tattoo Wild and woeful A spoonful of sugar I want to know Only you Cause you’re an animal Your heart is full Of piss And vinegar Cause I’m caught Off guard You’re so hard And you’re gonna Win it all #vss365

All of us are #luminous We glow in the dark Though the truth Is obscured We all have a spark Hold your candle high Up into the sky Let your unique love Light the way Hold your truth of what’s best Close to your chest Let the long night Turn into day We’ve all got something Important to say #vss365

The #barren land That sucks so bad Is a field of possibility The desert where We wandered lost Will be filled up With Cyprus trees The lowest point Receives the rain There’s redemption For the pain At least that’s what I believe #vss365

Like a ball and chain A blender in the brain It hurts more knowing that I deserve this Like a c stream Or a blissful dream The wonder giving Feeling of #forgivess The wonder giving Feeling of forgiveness #vss365

RE-RELEASE PARTY:WEEK 20 Shadowlands was a cover album of 31 songs that captures just me and the acoustic guitar, covering some of my favorite bands and songs. A lot of the songs were particularly special for the people and the times in my life they remind me of. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/shadow...

Really Your intelligence Is found in your Due #diligence Digging to The center Of the earth Really Your attractiveness Is found in your Adaptiveness Always counting Things of Greatest worth We’re on this ride For such a little time Count your blessings Each and Every day #vss365

There is hope For me In the #evenfall The night is not so Supple/subtle The night An extended sorrow But in evening Tears are sweet Where the day And the night meet Where loss Feels like love Where the moth And songbird Move #vss365

If life is #fleeting And everyone you meet Is eternal If life is cooking And everywhere you look Is burning We’ve got a moment And forever In a kiss We’ve got happiness And sadness In one thoughtful Piece of art The heart Is sometimes Exhilarated Or lonely #vss365

Stone of sky Ash of wind Erosion of our being Dirt a #haunted mouth Swallowing the gods. We tenderly grew from seed. Horizons of unraveling. No blooms. Earth of salt. Brackish crust remains. Crushed grey The bones Of all we knew Scattered with our dreams #vss365 #Poem #poet #ImageAndVerse #ECK

If I walk the line If I walk the line Will you say That you’re happy To be mine Happy to be mine Every day? Cause I’m #haunted By your beauty And I wanted you to know That my dull heart’s Gotten brighter I’m not someone To gush But I wanted to show That your love Has made me lighter #vss365

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK NINETEEN I've gotten into the routine of putting out a Christmas album, every couple of years. This is perhaps my most "religious" album, to date, for better or for worse. I think it's got some great thinkers & feelers on this album. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/ponder...

Is your love Like a #dove A calm in the ripple? Does peace Flow like a river From your heart? Is your joy Like a boy Who’s seeing double? Does your start Help others to Restart? Are you contagious Like good news? Do you brighten up The blues? Do you bring Clarity to the confused? #vss365

Send your message On a #moonbeam Send a whisper On the wind Let the world know Your mystery And hint what’s On your mind Give your love Like the flowers Give your heart As a gift Let your light shine Like a diamond Be generous And swift #vss365

#Dear past self You’ve made it through things That might’ve destroyed you Turned your world Into a whirlpool A maze with no escape Instead you’re on dry ground Where it’s safe With stories to tell And a taste of hell That makes heaven sweeter And a joyful meter #vss365

I have my limbs Singing sad songs And hymns I don’t feel like A #phantom More like a tree That is just A sapling Everyday I’m growing My roots will one day Break the concrete I’ve got these sturdy Walking feet If lightning doesn’t strike Let love invade my life #vss365

How many years Since I’ve seen your face How many moons Since you left this place? I know your life was Hard but good You always seemed to do What you should This sweet #affection Honey on the heart Remembering you Though we are apart Oh the holy taste Of communion Waiting for the reunion #vss365

Oh the #fury That all this worry Could steal A life of wonder Now I’m going under Lost in loneliness and fear When man tried his darnedest God said, hold my beer And came down here Lived a life of love And suffering Got down on one knee With his engagement ring #vss365

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK 18. An album inspired by the story of Jesus and the paralytic by the pool, and my own parallels with that story. It's a short three song offering, but goes from hurt, the health, to heaven. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/the-wa...

Like a #lion on the hunt Muscles tensed Everything and all Present tense A fury of focus A feeling that’s local The glasses on your face Are bifocals Books become buildings Faith fortifies It is evident That you’re willing to try (Inspired by JVD) #vss365 #winsome

The #lightning of the gods In a strummed guitar The light shines And shines In a heart That’s also a star Tap into the great beyond Oh that unique sound! The sky in your chest Giving it your best The roaring sound of thunder The spell that you’ve Been under #vss365

Do you live by The #lunar calendar? Are your waves pushed And pulled by the moon? Do you submit To the solar powers? Does your heart sing A celestial tune? Animals We r animals Just with bigger brains And bigger stories to tell Animals We r animals With the threat or the hope Of heaven or hell

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK SEVENTEEN This album started with a challenge from a friend, to write a songs on my honest thought on God at the time, and to push me to use all of my vocal range. The songs came easily, as I have a million thoughts about that. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/oh-god

Are you #fishing For compliments Or for real connection? The love that comes From authenticity Or from fleeting affection? Are you showing the world Who you really are? Or shining the light of Duplicity A false and fatal star? Only 1 way will get you Fantastically far! #vss365

Half of us is #wolves Half of us lambs We do a bit of wrong And we do what we can Half of us is happy Half of us is sad Half of us content The other half mad CHORUS It’s kind of hard Living in human skin It’s pretty amazing To be the person I am #vss365

#Undersea The things I’ve found When I was submerged And almost drowned In the woods The things I’ve seen When I was lost And made more keen CHORUS The darkness is a doorway The loss reveals love The ways that going Down down down Lead you To the light above #vss365

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK SIXTEEN An album of songs I wrote while I was going through a hard time with my mental health back in 2016 or so. One of the first things I recorded, actually. It's a lo-fi offering, but has a charming indie heart. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/the-ol...

A #word Has many meanings Can clarify or obscure A word Is all we have To communicate the pure Or twisted design Of the heart A word to end A word to start A word What have you said? What have you heard? A word With a word The world’s destroyed With a word The world’s cured #vss365

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK FIFTEEN A musical reunion with Jclazzified, where we look into some of our biggest inspirations and turn it into poetry. Hopefully INSPO introduces you to some great artists and people. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/inspo-...

What’s heaven’s #Bank vault like? Is it my fault If I don’t strike The gong of generosity? Live for the sweetest Synchronicity? Why do I tighten My purse strings? When eternity sings Of giving giving giving! Of giving to the least! Of living living living! A veritable feast! #vss365

Get it down in #ink The words written in your soul The joy swimming In your bloodstream The thousand sorrows’ toll Get it down in ink The words passed along to you The stories that Light up your eyes The dreams and visions, too Get it down in ink You only have so much time #vss365

Lean on your #arm That would never Harm me Trust in your love While the chaos Swirls around us Bruises from mistakes Give instead of take Try to find The secret place The secret place #vss365

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK 14 These songs, which celebrate the Christmas season, might transport you, inspire you, bring meaning to your life, in the listening. They are songs, remembering my mom, getting into the spirit of the season. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/christ...

I may have traded my #pen For a keyboard But I’m still focused on finding The perfect word Technology advances Hearts are still the same I just want to create something Worthy of my name Don’t give me that AI slop I would rather flop Have a failed crop Than use that AI slop #vss365

He has shown thee Oh #man What is good And what the Lord Requires of thee: But to do justly And to love mercy And to walk humbly With thy God #vss365

Cello music

My long hair Could #conduct electricity But I may have to cut it off For work My heart’s still A live wire & a haircut doesn’t determine My worth The way I want To leave an impression Is mainly through My words It’s not really The things we see But the message That we heard That really matters

Like a fairy #sprite Happiness just might Be the ingredient That can make us Take to flight Like a jellyfish We can make a wish Join with life’s grand ocean In a lover’s kiss Whether it’s a far off Twinkling star Or a ride with the radio Blasting in your car… #vss365

Like a wheel And it’s axis Like a paycheck And taxes Like a plan And then praxis What does my heart #Revolve around Like a planet And the sun Like a bullet In a gun Like work That is fun What does my heart #Revolve around? If I make something important Will life just take it all away? #vss365

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK THIRTEEN This week, the thirteenth week, I am appropriately re-releasing my Halloween album, 13 O'Clock. This was a fun exercise, turning famous and less famous Halloween poems into indie folk songs. #literaryrock #halloweenpoems gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/13-ocl...

Things still #fascinate me There’s still a twinkle in my eye I still find joy in life And feel a natural high Things still bother me, sometimes And bring sorrow to my heart Rain on my parade Put sadness in my art I’m not sick of it all… #vss365
