The cover of darkness
Has been rolled back
Slowly, so slowly light creeps
Into the day
Til the sun shines bright
Giving light, lighting each way
To everyone, everything
Each and everyday.

There wasn’t anytime
To tell you or change my mind
Racing on into what hasn’t been
Time will tell if it was the right thing
Until then, I won’t say anything
Anything.

Feeling the weight holding me down
Struggling, fighting against a strength
That all I can say, astounds.
Maybe tomorrow the way will be light
Maybe then I won’t be feeling
This heavy weight I’m feeling tonight.

Without your heart
To hold me dear
My world would fall apart
I would surely, be in tears.

Sadness breaks my heart
learning of life to death
seeing those loved
who’ve come and now must depart.
The road is long or maybe short
travelled on with those loved
and kept forever
in our hearts.
Sadness sometimes
is helped
by just holding close
still loving in our hearts.

No matter what happens to me
the world will turn on into its destiny
flowers will bloom, bees be busy
nothing matters except the going
the moving from what has
to what will be.
Save your breath for breathing
your words to speak adoration
of the heaven that has given all
just for you
asking nothing in return
only wanting to be.

I am who I am, the best I can be
Don’t worry or fret
Don’t marry insanity.
