Journeys to make
Decisions to ponder
Love to wander
Way far away.
But for now I will stay
And make my way
To the best
The best for me today.
When I do journey
Please let me find
Turth, happiness
All things most divine.
Journeys to ponder
Decisions to make
Where oh where
Shall my wandering take?

Feel the green coming thru
Up from ground all muddy too
Crickets run across the lane
To get to where is their domain.
Birds fly by tired from
Their trip up north
Gleaming food
from any source.
Sun is weak and far away
Coming closer day by day
Smile, relax know for sure
Weather cures all winter blues.

Lost in the moment
A moment in a life of time
Not all is forever
Forever mine.
Feel the breath of the moment
Feel it ebb and sigh
We are here in the moment
As we quell life’s tide.
Breathe new life in the moment
Let it carry you through
Down to the life of the moment
Down to the moment in a lifetime
That’s you.

At a loss for words
Nothing gleaned
Search and search
But nothing seen.
Blank space
A dull hum
No loving thoughts
All humdrum.
Drained completely
No connection, total dry
A loss for words
Don’t know why.

Sometimes I do believe
There’s a warmth in the trees
Across the road, down the hill
And far away from this today.
Sometimes I do believe
There’s majesty in all we do
Our breath, our beating heart
Skipping like a meadowlark.
Sometimes I do believe
We are one with God
Child, parent, desperate soul
Sometimes I do believe.

I join you in a quest for right
You join me in taking the path that’s right
Together we will make our lives all right.
Blessed be the night.

There in my heart
The world comes alive
Feeling the love, strength
Of those I abide.
Dwell deep within
Then rocketing back out
I be the one my heart
Needs me to be about.

Today is a sad day
Full of memories and dreams
Caught amongst the reality
Of a death ever so serene.
His time had come
He wanted to leave
Not making it any easier
Just had to let him go.
Today is a sad day
Full of memories and dreams
A brave, courageous, loving guy
Died this day too long ago.

I feel the coldness in my heart
I feel it envelope me
Turning all to frozen frost
No emotion, no anger, shame or fear
No happiness, laughter or anything sincere
This coldness is all I feel
Here in my frozen sphere.
Let love break the way
Melt sadness, anger all away
Rushing forth with laughter
Keeping coldness far at bay
Drip love down deep within my soul
Making warm caring thoughts
Embrace me entirely all today
Keeping coldness far, far away.

I had a dream last night
Everything was alright
Making me think
I’ve done something right.
There were no reproaches
No “What if I had done?”
It was nice this recollect.
It made me feel
I could bask in the sun
Relax and display all I had done.
Sometime go back
Look at your life
See the positive
Forget the strife.
Maybe then you’ll say
“I had a dream last night
And everything is alright.”
