Wake up as the sun rises and stroll the sandy shoreline.  Reunite with your spirit while exploring the vibrant coral reef.  There is a dinner party tonight worth looking forward to. Many friends will gather under the stars to dance or gaze at the sky by the bonfire.  Bring a blanket!

Cabo Clave

Inspired by the poem "I am Rich" by my dear friend, Dr. Ludwig Palacio.  In 2016, my wife and I were diving the Belize Barrier Reef and ended our trip visiting Punta Gorda, Belize. A pack of stray dogs hung around the ATM near the town square and one caught our attention.  We needed a veterinarian and were introduced to  Dr. Palacio.  Dr. Palacio was generous with all his resources and nursed the  sickly mutt back into good health within a few months. It was while we were touring the We Art Gallery, I first read the poem Dr. Palacio had published. He asked me to put it to music.  The final version will be released in December in time for Christmas.

I Am Rich

Would you travel to space?  Open your mind and let go of your worries.  Our time and imagination is better used fulfilling goals and dreams. " Fly UFO" takes you on a journey back in time and into the future in real time.  Allow yourself the opportunity to take an adventure each day. Brighten your horizon and others.

When I was little like a stowaway in the cargo
Dad drove an old four door to the Badlands on a spring day
I could see far beyond what my imagination could swallow
Digging up fossils and meteors from yesterday
When lucky stars collide
Imagination spinning burning spirit to find
Seek beyond your dreams in a limitless sky
Reconcile difference leave worries behind
No more thorn in your side

Once upon ago, I made up my mind to leave the planet
Blast off, let go, ticket to ride up and away
Fly UFO make sure your belts low and tight prepare for landing
Fly UFO meet intelligent life in outer space
Spaceship on time
Imagination spinning interstellar nose-dive
Astro-enigmatic beings faster than light
Cosmic comet fever consumes me inside
The Constellations say their goodbyes

Let's rock, let's roll 
There are no lines there is no traffic
Mission Control, tech support just in case
Fly UFO your satellite to supernovas
Join me in orbit my love for you will never fade
Look up to the sky
Imagination spinning transcendental surprise
Summer 1968 repeating the times
When the music's over there is nowhere to hide
Dare fight fire with rhymes

Fly UFO catch the red-eye tonight and leave the planet
Shooting like stars across the Milky Way
Fly UFO open your mind and just imagine
We are not alone, we are much the same
Until next time
Imagination spinning up the ladder I climb
Meditate on miracles you witnessed tonight
Destination galaxy ahead on the right
Our thoughts determine our lives

Bio
            Born in Chicago by Canadian immigrants, we moved to Florida when I was a kid. I remember always laughing and playing with family, friends, and our German Shepard.  We would explore and discover many beautiful plants and creatures in the forest or at the beach. I learned to play violin before guitar and was active in garage bands or tackle football with friends. I traveled a lot with my parents and later as a career janitor, working mainly in the brewing industry where I met interesting people.  I am currently working on a novel and enjoy spending my time writing poetry and making up songs. I also have the privilege to teach guitar at the School of Rock, Tampa North. The owner of this location is my dear Smokin' Havanas bandmate, Chuck Roeh
  My wife and I have a non-profit animal rescue that inspires me endlessly. I am blessed.  I have the privilege to spend these precious days caring for the many dogs and cats my wonderful wife, Amy, is introduced to. I encourage you to visit us at www.laborofloveanimalrescue.org
Volunteering time, treasure, and talents is a choice. Please consider volunteering in your community, and thank you for visiting.  Love is patient and kind.
May peace be with you always,
+David
