I hear
the engine roar
the smoke billow
and
fly high
up into the air
high
up to the sky
I see people laughing
cordially
taking steps to be
in the midst
of
everything
I feel excitement
racing
round the curves
down
the track
in
anticipation
of
who’s to win
The first
to cross the finish line
the one I know
all
will celebrate and cheer
The one
who’s
the winner.
That’s what I do hear.

The sun rises
Shines
All across the land
The ground wakes
Sighing a gentle sigh
All across the land
Birds fly, coyotes call
Leaves sway in unison
All across the land
Contentment is ours
To enjoy
All across the land.

I have heard your voice
calling me
I’ve known always
that
you stayed by me
protected
me.
I know
when I’m gone
you’ll have taken the journey
with me
guided me
consoled
me.
Made me know
I’m not alone
for
you’ll always be
here
right beside
of
me.

Lonely can I be
Wondering
Where everyone could have gone
Leaving me
All alone
Lonely can be
Heartbreak
Broken heart sobbing
Into silence
All alone
Waiting
For a saviour to bring love
Togetherness
To sip the sweet nectar
Of belonging
Not
Not
All alone.

Can I be
Someone who
Loves
Takes care of all things
Dear to me?
Can I?
Can I be
This kind person
I want to be?
Or
Will the whole thing
Escape, bypass this
Wondering Can I person
That’s me?

I know you haven’t seen me
Nor anything I do
Know
I’m just a back screen
Meaning nothing
Nothing
Ever to you.
I know I won’t be front and centre
In anything you do
But then I don’t care
You see
For you’re nothing to me
Or is anything
You ever do.

When I hear
Your heart beat
I want more
More time to love you
More laughs
And
So much more
Don’t go away
Don’t be gone
Forever
Stay with me
Stay
Here forever
Forever more.

No more can I say
Love
Will triumph today
No more
No more will I do
The things that make
You love me too
No more
No more can I be
The one
You want me to be
No more
No more will I stand
Close by loving thee
No more
No more.

Feeling peaceful
Feeling calm
The sun
Has come up
It has shone
Lighting all the world
Showing the way
To
Happiness, joy
Everything needed
To complete
This
One and only day.
