Poem Artwork

She sat on the bleachers
For most of her days
Watching people
Play the game of life
Some were fools
That never learned
Others fell in love
Some got burned
Many cheated
And never knew
What real love
Could do for you
Men just left
Their family
Women thinking
Was it me...
We all have played
The game of life
It is not whether
You won or lost
But how you played. .. ...

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
