Holding on
Holding fast
Letting the world twirl round.
Standing on solid ground
I hold on
Hold on, hold on.

Don’t let the world cheat you
By not telling the truth
As known it to be.
Let not the hidden monsters be
The ones controlling
Your thoughts, your actions
Anymore.
No, tell them to go to Hell
And settle there forever
Forever more.

Who knows or cares
What happens across the world
Shrouded in despair.
All should know, all should care
Cause what happens elsewhere
Will eventually be here.
We need to care

Cursed snow falls
Blanketing life with a dirty white
Melting in spring revealing
No more than everything
Cursed snow.
Cursed snow blows
Filling all nooks and crannies
Whistling round corners
Blowing white, blowing blind
Cursed snow.

When the world fell apart
I was filled with despair
Crying
Oh my heart, my heart
No other saw or moved
To employ saving grace
All was destroyed
Oh my heart, my heart.
Then the sun shone
The rains came
My heart heard
A sweet, sweet refrain
Crowds rejoiced, laughed
Coming close to heaven
And my heart sang
Oh my heart, my heart
Once again.

The caged bird flies
Deep into brilliant
Blue, blue skies.
The caged bird cries
Songs of lilting love
Her sweet voice sings
Of beauty, freedom
All things.
The caged bird dies
In the midst of bars holding
Holding her in.
No soaring in blue skies
Nor lilting love songs sung
For this was only a dream
Dreamt in
A dark night long.

Being sensible
is sometimes a gift
no heartfelt intuition
can make the necessary shift
relying on the ego
memorizing the words
doesn’t help
for being sensible
just sometimes
is a gift.

I won’t say those words
That may save the day
Not because I don’t want to
No
Because I don’t need to
For salvation is on its way.
It’ll be here,
Sometime
Sometime today.

The world spins
revolves around
taking lives on a journey
the world beyond.
Grass grows, birds fly
rain drops
and sometimes
lovers must say goodbye.
The world is ours
We make it what we can
happy or sad, we live our lives
as the world revolves round
once again.
