Buttercup's blog: "Squirrels in heat"

Sailors speak softly 

Kindness I blow you a kiss

I blew one to compassion today

Giving and loving are wonderful

In spite of the things they may say

Hope is a very good advocate 

Harmony rides with the band

There's no sense in senses that aggravate

So I'm holding my breath in one hand. 

I once ran the border with confidence

Grace and fate stood by my side

And emptied my cluttered up consciousness

With conscience alive as my guide

I now sail emotional oceans

Fear and anger in waves at my hull

And it's filled with feeling I know them

At the toll gate I hear Jethro Tull

So I will continue to navigate

Which is the bow and the stern?

Forgiveness a path you obliterate

When the bridge to civility burns

I'll stand and blow kisses to innocence

Torment is tied to the mast

I ask for safe passage through ignorance

With patience in payment I'll pass
