Performed by Val Cole
POEM:
Bright eyed lady, spin the thread, sew the flag
Fife and drum marching across the land
Hear the creed in far off places
Democracy’s seed, Lady Liberty
Needle skipped, would’ve cried for a penny
Rain fell, the liberty tree, into the lock, the treasury key
Out of mind, never knowing here or there
Untied shoes, American blues
Keep it free, Lady Liberty
Freedom lives and always has despite me
Hiding inside the corners, state lines, pushing thru
Time zones, rippling borders for you
Paved in gold, a capital dream
Walk the steps, Lady Liberty
Hand on heart, passing by you were steady
Uncle Sam’s pointed finger to his children for worse or better
The next leaders buried in knowing the weather
On the wind, stars and stripes, with allegiance, Lady Liberty
Feelings reveal, hey, it’s going to be alright
Red, white and blue flying high
Colors melt, kiss the flame
Broken arrows, each generation be saved
Spread your wings, a dove’s feather, wink to me, Lady Liberty
One love gives should I receive I am ready
Into the deep eyes of the nation
Clear and bright, the torch light
History’s turnstile, God willing we shall rise above
Grace we’ll win, let it begin, Lady Liberty
Spread the word from henceforth to ever-after

Is nothing new to me.Beautiful I find you,
To wrap two legs around you,
Surrounded by the safety of my fear.Steady, love reminds...

Performed by Val Cole
POEM:
They put their finger to your lips
And say it isn’t what it is
As the journalist just wins a prize
And the candidate is making speeches
As the military reaches
The borders of the other side
History turns the corner
The stories have grown taller
And our memories are ... -

Performed by Val Cole
POEM:
There are places beyond man’s illumination
when the campfire is embers and ashes,
when phones and flashlights rest in batteries,
when the moon has sunk or not yet risen,
when satellites and planes are delinquent.
In those rare, dark interludes one sees
the omniprese...
