Bridge Dreams Across The COLORado

1)
Seams American Dream cannot Bridge over
the Red, White, ‘n Blue COLORado,
to the other side, to become that American Dream.
The bridge awaits the music accompaniment
Where notes flow blues downstream hues notes
Hear yea, Austin City Limits venue vision towers
While other side COLORado, dost streams dreams.
Life is this one way Bridge from fetal position
Near Lamesa the drip drop, starts a winding trail
Voyage twist and churning, attuned Lone Star Texas
Many bridges to go under, dams to flow, go over
Water currents pool lakes, then meander east scores
Until the mouth of the Gulf Of Mexico, dost swallow.
God sows humanity. be time woven, upon these moving journeys
Each be UniQue, adrift downstream heartbeat sung rhymes
Being strung, alight finger strings, living musical Texas bridges
Stream bee words, see-faring never ending American Dreams
The Scream of birth long gone, we navigate the Dernier Bridge.

2)
Black ink, transitions white pages sequences, into musical passages
Austin’s Lamar Broken Spoke, Saxon Club; Congress’ Continental Club,
South Austin songwriter dream venues, be County bridge outlaw music
South side, facing cali-condo-fornication gentrification demolition scenes
All around developers squeeze out the HeART of Austin HeArtMosphere
On other side of COLORado bridges; Tower of Babel, raises on Franklin green
Lingua franca bridges language, amiss diverse words, music, verse, Poetry
Reality be that artists, who create stories, poetry, song, music, ~ writers starve
Whilst the promoter producer production rake in Franklin RAPE prosperity

“Republic American Production Egression” coming out for its toll bridge dues
Time and rhyme again, Conservatives Hanging Van Gogh Artist Garden scenes
Liberal Art investments worthless, until these Artists joins Dead Monet Society
Deadbeats, be Austin weird proud, one musical HeART be strumming lone guitar
Or spieling mystical verse in coffee houses, anywhere that would have them
You see the Living Stages Of America, must bridge the past, present and Our future.

4)
Grey stone, ion weathered, carried Romans, who bridged Europe, and Middle East
Cobblestones cemented historical bridges; covered bridges across Colonial America 
Beams, trusses, cable swaged, suspension arches over water ways, streaming downriver
Most American rivers flow south; whilst in America's, we now have this Great Divide
COLORado flows East from Lamesa; whilst January 6 politicians burn America’s bridges
Lingua franca, Star Spangled Banner, bridge God Bless America patriotic transitions
RIP TAPS past, begets American perseverance, begone Mason Dixon Civil War coup
Political mortician, division bigotry, need Politicians, who will Bridge America together
Bridge over Mississippi River in Memphis cracked, leaving US searching for solutions
WE cannot bicker as stoic Republicans and pristine Democrats: bridge God Bless America
Are we a Party of One Man Supreme Autocracy, or dogma reclusive in Washington D.C.
We are To Be any Harvest for others, Think Tanks, who plunder in top secret manipulations
We are American, who bridge America both way; bridge the Star Spangle Banner quiver

5)
The River STILL quivers
, moonlight STILL reflection, Poet STILL, insight STILL ~ retroflection
Water tick tocks STILL mind-frame inflection, Moon traverses stellar moonbeam Texas passages
Island lacking bridges; no music, no words; prison of sorts, ponders poetic passageways
HeART strikes keyboard penetration, be frantic isolation tempos, reigning dark depressions
Daydream hemispheres channel subconscious obscurity, into Temple crystal conscious clarity
Dew we naught bridge abstract, and telemetry thoughts, upon shorn pages, ripped onto rhyme
Mark Twain composition, gauging COLORado WordsWorth depth, bridging Austin Texas culture
Stages bearing American Dreams: musicians, painters, sculpture songwriters, poet, troubadours
Across the COLORado on Austin’s Southside venues, where dreams be made in “Broken Spoke.”
