spring upon sprung
sword of tongue
vacancy
what the heck
the band is beck
beer of choice
keeping a voice
oyster summer
clam at night
what fright
consolidate
the hate
lacking love
dove
right to say
say to say
no way
its about them
the them
my friend
fancy is the life
lost in strife
healthy life
live and grow
want to know
it is now
and has been
leaving a song
to let the spill into the ocean
ocean from river
river from mountain glacier
streaming
needing
replenishment
achievement
blessed is he
who blends to be he
he that is free
free our minds
free formed thought
brain of rot
sought in peace
left to torture
their achievement
to dominate my untapped soul
for all to know
I live I grow I see I know
stop in the name of love
my heart broke
rope around my neck
wrists of blood
broken body
patched together
holy spirit
give my grace to those that live
and those that have created a path
a path of resistance
full of suspicion
redemption songs

[tristanbgilb]

Out of sight
make it right
left right left right left
cadence marches us on
through the oceans of might
scared of height
leave me tender
living true
ancient beneficiaries
holding on
don't do it wrong
to end the struggle
lets begin
turn a cheek
living better
improving every day
every way
amskray
hey hey
seeming said
war makes people dead
the killing fields
government sanctioned killing
living and love
required for each moment
villainous thought
something real
such a thrill
shoot to kill
not for me
not for you
I want to kill
little white bunnies
and consume them as a meal
dead bunny meat
gnawed on for food
seems rude
bunnies want to live
they want to grow
they want to see
they want to know
the things that they can give
they want to live
John Denver style
growing day by day
never ending
the joy
the place
filled with human race
chasing
blazing
without end
generations suffer
no buffer
sitting sulking
smiles on my face
living hear
is living the pace
back and forth
Thorazine shuffle
strait jackets of torture
solitary confinement
chemical restraints
how we suffer
in doctor hands
the prophets
the ignored
the locked away
without choice
isolated
medicated
let me go
torture me no more
in this house of satan
dreams shattered
lost in madness
difficult to see gladness
as I am dogpiled
stomped upon\
left for dead
blood of red
fire on the mountain
put in a chase for the humans
reunions
I AM HERE
often gone
living this life
lost in song
ding dong
the witch
living right
mystery
majesty
take me home
country road
over the river
through the woods
to be in the woods
is not all it is meant to be
freeze the heart
soft the soul
I live on
the way I see
forever

[tristanbgilb]

center square
All not aware
the rest just glare
the stare
all beware
or not
is it hot
eating of the rot
time is still
such a thrill
diamond drill
frilly
dilly
often silly
the thought
so not
when I awake
my bones are bread
in this life
nothing is said
squabble
hobble
toto
not no kansas
isn't florida
little known
so lost
so found
so nothingness
where I was
I was found
then lost and tossed
angel of the heart
demon at the rein
some what here
often gone
leaving a poem
singing a song
day is bright
stormy night
live and love
so high upon the mountain
tension
tenderness
left unknown
all so breakable
restoration
the sensation of beauty
in not so foul
not so lost
gaining ground
improving every day
the way
the way walker
spirit stalker
the bolt
lightning breaking thunder
the blunder
sitting in
running out
sing and shout
the monkey is out

[tristanbgilb]

mindful
the mist of thought
wonder share
who to dare
eternal flying
of light and liberty
hello justice
so far away in thought
the sought
forget the hate
mystery won't wait
the lone ranger
so stranger
mist my love
turtle
dove
the mud clam
wonders of sand
house of cards
the sentence roars.
take the oars
liberty and justice
not less the fess
to us all
be blessed

[tristanbgilb]

hey
what is to say
my way
to and fro
the place to know
I know a little
I was once
and still am today
my way
your way
take it within a golden heart
a place to know
I love
once was
hello my friend
in this way
it dreams
in a world unscene

[tristanbgilb]

into the fire
so lost to desire
smitten
kitten
cry for help
government intrusion
plant prohibition
sensation of evil
corruption of soul
ministration
formulation
holiday
chicken guts
on stick
hello my nation
of ungodliness
perversion of persuasion
let the time toll
lost in love
and I don't know much
just got this feeling
feeling to set me free
heart and soul
hell bound
upon the Puget Sound
nuclear nation
demonstration
keep still
think less
sense more
how to survive
diminished thought

[tristanbgilb]

Left to hang
bearing the sting
for all I have done
words off my tongue
Can stop
what the flop
hear I was
almost gone
is the place
lonely for a song
features of life
freedom rings
only in my dreams
hoping for a greater world
not the party line
drones
moans
all alones
lifting my heart
with a simple tune
not much brain room
whisking way
on my broom
locked away
tortured
brain drain
never to be the same

[tristanbgilb]

My Dad passed on. I sill cry though I am not hopeless. I will be quiet in thought. To him, my Dad, I praise that in his toughness he has helped to turn my evil ways and have the holy spirit reside with my not so holy presence. My dad is now with my ancestor's angelness to form to keep the hopes of a kinder gentler world to pass on to the younger once we love for all the innocence of righteousness.

Grant GILBERT Obituary
Dr Grant Orion Gilbert passed away peacefully holding the hand of his childhood friend and wife of 58 years on February 4th, one week before his 78th birthday. He is survived by his wife Donna, daughter Trinette, and sons, Garrett, Tristan, Nathaniel, Joshua, and Tobin. Also, his 4 daughters-in-law, 14 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.

Grant believed in hard work, acquiring his PHD while working full time and raising 6 children. After retiring from Lakeland Village, he went to work for DSHS testing children. He often combined work and play while testing in Ocean Shores. He enjoyed bar-b-ques, fishing, clamming, crabbing, and hunting with family and friends. Despite having a private office, he preferred working in the living room surrounded by family and pets. He will be greatly missed by his family, church, community, and profession.

A Celebration of Life will be held at St John's Lutheran Church, in Medical Lake, on March 23rd, at 11:00 am.

sainted Lucifer
loved by god
no way perfect
but learning peace with myself
so that I will love others
greater than me
what is to be
or perhaps not
angel glory of god
friend to the christ
Jesus the Muslim prophet
Jesus the christ
super star
loving each other
the way they are
good is good
not hate
fighting with each other
what a bother
leaders of riches
while others are so poor
let me live
let me grow
getting older
feeling younger
wanting all to save the day
far away
astray
searching for better
home of peace
home of light
in this way
I have delight
danger so often
hating evil
loving
hatching
now beginning
go to good
freeing my heart
and my soul
brain strain
stop in the name of love
dinner time
no crime
just a prayer
under jesus christ the superstar
come all ye faithful
and go about the duty of kindness and hope

[tristanbgilb]

These are wild goats we saw coming home from Wenatchee.

goat
hope
float my boat
sending me time
time to pray
to make it today

[tristanbgilb]

I went to the mountain
there I found something odd
the air is clean
people existing
people destroying
living in faith
each turn brings in another
living and loving
every moment

[tristanbgilb]

Its in my heart
its in my soul
its my reason for laughter
buried in a tear
a little fear
not knowing
never near
not so far
I can see
the superstar
jesus christ
the one you love
is a kind man
hidden in the trees
the breeze
sabbatical of nature
superstar
rubber racing
in the corvette racing car
torpedo me not
on that lost prairie
my words doom and laughter
not one is to know
heavens greatest
hells bursting to the rim
end of times
the beginning of the true
red white and blue
treasure of life
the strife
to end us
upheaval
divided and conquered
toys of the cat
but it is true
when the cats away
the mice will play
searching for delivery
insane
divine intervention
the breeze in the trees
spring awaits
snow melts
and ground is bare
then the flowers
and gasses to stare upon
the beauty of nature
the never-ending life
the new joy
of life forgiven
for all to enjoy
life of good
stuck in hell
heavens open
demons go to hell
the sell
the sail
deliverance
to the well being

[tristanbgilb]

The water tumbles
high above
the flow comes down to where I am
and I believe
I see the greatness
as for which
he who created it is more great
greater than I
humble myself to my greater power
the creator
who has always been there
and will always be
river of goodness
falls of delight
god's eternal laughter
tears so great
like the flood
so many perished
now fire looms
grooms us
getting ready
eyes on blind
nothing to see
keep on walking
drip drip
winter showers
leave my heart filled
filled with glory felt desire
to love god
love familty
love friends
beware
enemies of good
are demons
they are real
and the best way to be
is saturated in holy spirit
and love thy enemy
before all blows

[tristanbgilb]

Unto the salty air
its time to beware
war of chaos
to end all wars
while the pawns follow fate
dive into drudgery
orders to kill
what a thrill
up and down the hill
it is me jack
running from jill
as I get lost in the wilderness
no hope
no despair
but only beware
beware the story goes on
until the end
my only friend
the end
or light
a glimmer of light
to spark hope
in the hearts of people
the ones capable of love
the time is now to open thy hearts
and bath in the glory of the creator
who loves us
and gave us this nursery to live upon
this earth planet
to learn to love
as we reach out into the stars
boldly we go
where no man has gone before

[tristanbgilb]

Here I am.
As the movie continues



Here I am
The President
under lord and king
jesus christ superstar
my beloved friend and neighbor
Jesus christ
the superstar
burning rubber in his racing car

[tristanbgilb]

Integrity and honor
that is them
we served together
honesty and truth
codes of ethics
I lived them
Now that is how I am
living righteous
growing each and every time
recognizing the lesson
thankful for the lesson
lessons that allow growth and not destruction
living
loving
right into the moment
on fire
so much desire
don't take her
she's all I got

[tristanbgilb]

Twisp River
don't take my life away
I must live another day
though you are cold
and ice permeates my bones
the angels will find a way
to make my way home
even though I am lost
I might be found
love and live
live and love
all around my heart trembles

[tristanbgilb]

Listen to electric horse

[tristanbgilb]

major tom to ground control
I see something
more than dimming of the light
hells fire and wheels
piggy piggy
here is the notion
living kind and friendly
liberty and justice
sensual dissents
my love
the only love
love all and pray for
deliverance
from all evil
godly might
who will make it
right
the plight
don't give up the fight
we have rights
world
domination
prevents starvation
eating animals is gross to me
in the free
for justice
liberty
sustenance life

[tristanbgilb]

living
loving
all confusion
greatest delusion
how great thou art
he who not know
kindness is the soul
way below
eternity of heart
the reaching to do better
interest in life
insight
cherry blight
I am so confused
amused
free moment in time
through the rapture
looking to the light
carefully committed to a life
soul and body
love and right
hate destroys
all the toys
blowing up the past
living into a forgotten picture
lamb and lion
grass

[tristanbgilb]

today it snows
and life is quiet
anticipation of digging in
the world is warm inside
where the outside wind and snow
brings happiness to some
misery to others
inside outside upside down
be patient
and know god is with you
the innocent
the vulnerable
seek and destroy
the call of the wild
