No more can I
say
sweet words
that could make your day
No more will I be
the one
who rescues
does what needs to be
No more can I see
my way
to
happiness and cordiality
No more
are
the only words
that say my feelings.

Holding on, holding tight
Trying desperately to make it
Thru the day into night.
No one to help, no one to say
Words of wisdom
Nothing on this day.
Where will I be, what will I say
In a world where I’m on my own
For today.

No one can
know
the secrets hidden
deep
inside
of
me.
No one can see
the danger
lurking
threatening you
me.
No one will be helping
standing
there beside
of
me.
This I know
this I see
and
will accept
in spite of all
you may be
telling
me.

I paint
my calendar
I paint all night
I paint
till the morning light.
I know
my subject feels
the brush strokes caressing them
this beloved pet
I paint
today
and
most of tonight.

Nobody does
what
I think
they should do
Nor
do they say things
I think
could be true
Doesn’t matter what
I think
Cause
people say and do
whatever they want
What
their heart tells them
they should say
They think
they should do.

Heartfelt feelings
coming thru
even though I don’t know
where
they came from
or
where
they’re going to.

I seek to find
the world
in a place divine
No hatred
killing
ever creeping slime
Caring places all
on the pedestal of sincere
and right
Full of joy
laughter
cuddling thru the night
This is where I want to be
this is how
all things should turn
A place I’ll seek, I’ll look
I’ll find
in a world most divine.

Do I know
or
understand
The way the world turns
as if
on elastic bands
So simple to think of
so hard
to
understand
That maybe
everything turns in a way
that’s
too simple
Too simple
to
understand.

Feeling secure, feeling serenity
Everywhere
Seeing tomorrow with pleasure
feeling joy and happiness
here and there
and
Everywhere.

You can find me
close by
not far from the hills
under
the blue, blue sky.
Let me show you
all the magic
I find
on that hill
and
far, far away
up in
the blue, blue sky.
