Why haven’t you held me close
Protected me from the worst, the gross
Why haven’t you?
Why haven’t you heard my pleas
My calls for help
Why haven’t you?
Why haven’t you seen the worst
And fell upon the evil that has me cursed
Why haven’t you?
Why haven’t you seen, heard, felt or been
The one I need
Why haven’t you?
Why haven’t you?

I’m not the one
to cry, weep or wail
for the sky opens
and all possibilities
will be at my disposal.
Nothing to hinder me
not one soul that fights
is against the role
that I see coming
for me.
Laugh, cry
sing
a song of happy
for it is truly
the road to eternity.

The heart is cold
the lie not true
changes made fall back
upon you.
Make your way
bridge the gap
be true to heart
foresake not.
The ones who bled
when you
were far apart.

Ideas come
sometimes they flow
then
then sometimes
they stop.
The page is blank
not a thought, not anything
just a slate, a page
that’s clear.
Then
then all of a sudden
they flow
in a rushing, gushing river
that overflows.
What a time, a place to be
for it’s then I know
I have ideas that will grow
and grow and grow.

The sun shines bright
bringing morning
into daylight
birds sing, squirrels fly
looking for feasts
in the clear morning
light.
Nothing could go wrong
nothing could be bad
hoping for the best
in the bright morning
sunlight.

What I’ve seen
is
the best of you
the world
in all
it’s splendour
that’s
what I’ve seen
No anger nor hate
none
of that
is
what I’ve seen
What I’ve seen
is it true
or
would you remind me
that
what I’ve seen
is
just, only
a lovely, recurring dream.

Fill the store
Empty the heart of things vicious
Tearing you apart
Please go
Please depart
Let the sun shine in
The love to flow
The world know you are gentle
All good things fill
Your store and loving heart.

You’ve been with me
I believe
no amount of time will pass
without you near.
Remorse in the beginning
crying that will cease
becoming memories of laughter and play
things talked about shown, learned
and explained.
No farther away
than a thought in my head
for I see your voice speaking
your eyes filled with kindness
no dread.
I know I can go forward
I know I’ll be ok
for you’ll be with me
forever
forever and a day.

Another day not the same
A cloud, a veil
Lifted
Now I see my terrain.
All is clear
My purpose, my direction
My refrain.
I sing and live
What gives me satisfaction
Gives me
A life to live.
