Heaven help me understand
All the thoughts
Going through my mind
My hands.
Are they real
Are they
Something I’ve done
Should do?
Which ones are right
which ones should I leave
What ones do I need
I understand?
All these thoughts in my head
Are they in
Within
My command?

Do I know you?
Do you know me?
Do you wake in the night
Wondering how I could be?
Is your first thought in the morning about me?
Your last question as your eyes fall asleep
Is it, is it all about me?
I didn’t think so
I knew it wouldn’t be
Cause I never think of you
And
You don’t know me.

Let me think, understand
The message
I want to send out
To all the land.
Will it be joy and happiness
Or
Anger, sorrow
A world without bliss?
My choice to make
My choice to live
Makes no difference if
I’m old or just a young kid.

Spring will come and be spectacular
Leaving behind winter cold and white
No more fighting for
Warmth in long days of brilliant sunlight
Can’t wait for you to arrive
To be basking in
Your freshness, beauty and majesty
All things alive.

How do we know
How
Can we see
Hear the right words
To guide
Our destinies?
Answers not given
Ways not seen
Does
Life itself
Obscure our path
Our destinies?

Hearing words in my head
They tell of times past
Then
Sometimes things ahead
‘Listen
Listen well’
Is what they said
‘For in telling, we give you
A chance to know
Know how to deal with
What has happened
And what is still ahead’.

No one goes
Nor
Do they stay
In
An atmosphere of anger
Or
Decay.
Everyone
Tries their best
Embracing
Joy
Happiness.
I’m no different
I don’t want
To be
Floundering
In
Indifference
Squalor, insecurity.
So
Let’s get together
Let’s join forces
We two – maybe three
Make
A difference.
Create
Heaven
Here on earth
Make it
A
Real majesty.

Wondering what I’m going to do
Travel back in time
Or make memories all anew
Finding it hard to let go
Of thoughts and judgements
I’ve had, they just stay
They won’t go.
Heart is full, heart is fine
But it must be considerate
Of those along the way I find
Never to berate
Nor say stinging things
Be good, gentle
Moderate everything.

No, I won’t be there
Not sure where
But
Won’t be there
The sun won’t shine
Rivers only wind
And
Trees pine away
But
I won’t see
Cause I won’t be
Won’t be there.

A thought comes
Then it goes
Back from where it came
That place
No one knows.
It’s filled with many thoughts
That if I hold, they’d grow
Into vast extravagances
Never thought before
Never told.
Oh yes, a thought comes
Then it goes
Back from where it came
That mysterious place
No one’s been
No one knows.
