Hearing the words spoken
In love and respect
Makes my heart leap and regret
All the things that I’ve said.
Not believing the actions
The smiles
The love I did get.
Now
I know there was nothing pretend
All was truthful, out in the open
Love with no end.
I will embrace all that I have
Give back, be happy
Never again be sad.
For this that you’ve given me
I will embrace, love you forever
Knowing
It’s our chosen place.

You hear me speak
You see me thirst
For knowledge unknown
Nothing
Nothing is rehearsed.
Then you leave
You make your way
You too must seek knowledge
In your own private life
Your way.

Another day, a new beginning
heart beats
the way is winning
the soul believes in life itself
knowing only you’re not alone
we all have a guiding light
a gentle voice whispering
words that’ll make us
winners winning.

Quietly, softly the breath intakes
listening
to the heart
explodiate
Kaboom, Kaboom
The legs take their feet for a walk
while
the arms hold close the hands
caressing the softness
of love
seen by the eyes
as
the ears listen
to
the quiet heart
go
Kaboom, Kaboom.

Worry won’t get you there
Neither will despair.
So hold your head high
Smile
Reach for the sky.

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.

Snow comes flying down
laying waste to brown ground
swirls, banks of white
blowing on into night.
Hiding the sun, the moon
making all the landscape
a stark sight
enveloping the earth
like a giant cocoon .
It may be tomorrow
all will melt
til then enjoy the scene
and later
remember how it felt.

No one knows nor do they care
mainly
mainly just because
they weren’t there.
Cause it all to be forgotten
Left behind
pages wrote, time sodden
with the tears of those
left behind and forgotten.
