something like luck



Harvest

some ties
you gotta break
some ties
are better to make

nothing else to be but to
be the love
to welcome the push and shove
set loose the dove

i know it but I love it.
i'm crawlin
i'm dyin
i'm tryin

my will is biyin
everything
on credit

because these beats we droping
they comes non-stoppin

Do be kind and
harvest the crop then
listen to it on repeat
match each to the
creakin of your heart beat.

Lady in Waiting


She was a lady. She was a lay-dy you understand?
She was sitting. Just sitting.
She was peaceful just as a peaceful Lady should... be.

She liked to listen.
And later She liked to yell.
Down to the depths of that ocean-like well.

The spring.
Oh The spring.
She knew it Was coming.

Not yet come
But coming.
Always waiting.
Wishing
Hoping
and Sometimes getting!

But almost always sitting. Just sitting.

Oh that Lady in Waiting.
She was as beautiful as the Queen
She was always waiting on.

Peaceful
At rest.
At peace.
For all eternity.

Oh that Lady in Waiting.
For All eternity.
You understand.

The Beginning---

Captains Log

February 10th

Just dropped my info for my Korean Visa in the mail box- headed to Busan Korea in May to teach little Korean babies the English.

I am a) nervous b) excited c) gasy?

I decided I needed to escape the midwest drain/black hole that was Springfield MO so I threw Piloto in the car and headed West.

Made it to the McDonalds at the Mile 4 Marker between Kansas and MO. Turned back

This voyage will take a little more planning.

I'm calling this the Ashli does US Tour before becoming an Official Ex-Pat.

Back we go. For Now. US- Beware.

dedicated to katherine



She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey

Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get goin'
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summertime
And American honey

Get caught in the race
Of this crazy life
Tryin' to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yea

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summertime
And American honey

Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey

Ooh There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowin' in the wind
Callin' out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothin's sweeter than summertime
And American honey
And American honey
