I’ve fallen down
a cavern
so deep
My heart is swallowed up
by something
that
creeps
My eyes see only darkness
black
dense
so deep
My feet stumble
over rocks large
sharp
cutting me
so deep
Will I find my way out?
Will I once again
feel the sun’s rays
enveloping me
warming
me
making me know
I’m loved?
Yes
oh
so deep.

Close the door
come sit beside
of
me
Tell me stories
sad or happy
make me cry with joy
or
with sadness
tragically
Come
come sit beside
of
me.

You haven’t been
Completely honest
With me, you or anybody
Always telling half truths
Bald faced lies
The question is
Why, why?
Nothing gained by your actions
All lost in the aftermath
Of your lies
Your sordid lies
Lies.
Will I tomorrow see
A new you as you say
The one to tell the truth
Or
Is it just another lie
One of your many, many
Lies.

Can I
feel, see
the end coming
or
what was
my beginning?
Can I
live in reality
being happy
or just
whining, complaining
full of misery?
No answers come
Cause
I’ve already made
the decision
to live my life
as
best I can
can be.

Gone are the times
I used to know
fell
like leaves
in the fall.
Memories only
nothing
at all
of this time I’m living
living right now.

Let me seek
Let me find
The world a better place
Better
Than all past times
No more crying
Weeping, wailing
Wine
Just hugging, laughing
Seeing
Love
Till the end of time
This is what
I seek
I hope to fine
Come join me
We’ll travel
Together
Our wondrous lives
Intertwined.

The angel comes
and
he calls
the good, the bad, the innocent
them all.
For them to live in blessed harmony
live forever
that ‘s all
The angel comes
and
he calls.

Does anyone
tell of
does anyone see
the beauty
the complexity
of
the world around us?
A world full
of
natural things
like birds, flowers
and
bees.
Never let me
be blind
to what could happen
to all this
all this
natural, age old
beauty.
Let me help protect it
keep it as it
has always been
as it
should always be.
And
Let me not forget
that
I too am part of this
all this
Heaven on earth
This
natural
age old beauty.

Morning comes
Then it goes
No one knows where
Where it unfolds.
Melting into day
Hiding thru the night
Breaking once again
In the glorious morning light
