Why not try to understand
All the confusion swirling round
Like a crazy marching band.
Don’t know where, don’t know why
But somehow I need to cry
Release the hurt, set free the sigh.
Move beyond the crazies
Then maybe, maybe
Understand the reason why.

~ Reblogged from my writing, Nov. 5, 2010
So much has changed
The world is not, not the same.
Death, anger, disarray
Where do I belong in this change
Playing out on what seems a sunny day.

Temporary, that’s what they say
Lasting longer, not happening
No way, no way.
Savour while it lasts
Then go about
Go about your day.
Knowing the best has come
Has visited you
Visited you and stayed.
Just a little while
A little while
Today.

Combine all you got
Leave no room regretting not
Challenge the atmosphere
Just to hear the echo flowing back
Full of goodness none deny.
Then add it up
Trust it’s the sum of what you’ve got.

When the time is right and my heart is not cold
When I see things clear from stories told
When madness isn’t a partner in that yet to unfold
When I can stroll thru sadness unscathed and bold.
Then is when my journeys mine
And I’ll hold no grief for that which is not or won’t be kind.

No worries, things will be
Take a deep breath and leave it to destiny.
No worries, things will be
You’ll see.

Summer, summer, summer time
Ah, good food, good friends, good times
Summer, summer, summer time.

There across the table
Opportunity
Stands
Smiling sweetly
He beckons
He commands.

If I need to write
I will write.
If I need to cry
I will cry.
If I need to see why I pray
I’ll find why I need to.
