My thoughts race
I pace the floor
Could it be
Could I possibly
Have more?
My heart is open
It feels good fortune’s
Gentle rays
Come flooding in.
My head spins
My ears roar
My thoughts race
As my jaw drops
Beneath my chin
To the floor.

Running now
Running far
Can’t see the end
Not so far.
Running slow
Then very fast
Running smart
To kick some ass.
Running out
Bringing back
Running right
Away from all that.

I’ve been in a bad place
My heart sad
My soul disgraced
I didn’t know what was pure
What was right.
I didn’t know, I couldn’t fight
That hurt I felt
It cut me through
I didn’t
I couldn’t sleep at night.
Better now
Now I feel rays of warmth
Holding
Basking that same soul
In glorious full sunlight.
Now I know
Now I see
The world is mine
It’s all it has to be.

When I reach for the sky
I lose the restraints that keep me tied.

Heaven helps those that need
No asking, just need
If you look, if you care
Those you need will be there.
Heaven helps, heaven cares
Feel it round, feel it near
Know it’s always
Always here..

You know the answer
You know what’s sane
You know no one can make
Your life full of pain
The only one who can
Is living there in you
And you must make sure
No one lets it happen
No one
Not even you.

A bluejay came
Looking for seeds today.
Then as I watched him fly away
I’m sure I heard, heard him say
“Do hurry and get them
Please don’t delay!”
I heard him
I’m sure I heard him say.

To cry is human.
It shows you care.
To laugh is human.
It shows you have joy.
To anger is human.
It shows you feel.
To remember is human.
It shows you have been.
To die is human.
It shows you have lived.

Tenderly, I think of you
For the world was right
When I could hold you
With no forsaken thoughts
On my mind
As we laughed and talked
And oh so tender
Were those thoughts.
Tenderly, I think of you
You were my world
You gave me life
You showed me how
To navigate throughout
Any cursed strife
To hold on, to believe
For you gave me love
Tenderly.

The journey begins
Down a winding path untold
Breathtaking exposure
On this the chosen road.
No concrete answers
To questions asked
Feel only wonder
Seeing a brilliant sky at last.
Excitement for
The journey begun
All comes together
Like a well known song sung.
