A million miles away
The sun shines
No matter
The time of day.
My heart must bring
That sun from far
To my day, my walk
My way.
Holding close all
That’s good
All I need to make
It thru today.
From a million miles away
The sun shines
Shines on me
As I’m on my way.

Tomorrow comes
Then
It ends
Taking place in today
Passing
Through to the past
Ending in history
To be
Retold once again.

No more
Can I see
What’s ahead, what’s behind
of
Me.
Only now
Only this moment, this time
that’s
Me.
All I have
In the history I know
Is part
of
Me.
Every time, everywhere
I’ve been
just
Me.

My heart cries
Beats and sighs
For
No more running
Thru fields without a care
No more laughing
Nearly falling down the stairs.
My heart cries
Tears of joy
Seeing birth come forth
Embraced in love and care
All things sweet
Loving ones share.
My heart cries
Whimpers
As
Old ones pass away.
My heart cries
For those
Who survive catastrophes
Beyond belief
Beyond anything
One should see.
My heart cries
But
No one knows
Cause I keep it hidden
Hidden
Deep inside.
Where
My heart cries.

Quietly, silently
I hear
The thunder roar
Sending a message
Down
The valley’s corridor.
Will there be an answer
Will the Earth
Reply
Succumb, or implore?
Not mine to know
But
Just to hear
The thunder roar.

Remember when a laugh and smile
Were the only thing that made
The day’s itinerary song?
Remember when laughter
And carefree days lasted
All year long
The thought of winter didn’t
Come to mind
Didn’t come along.
Then there was when
A door opened up
And seriousness came along.
No smiles, no laughter
The whole day long
Winter winds blew
And the heart was frozen
In sadness
Crying was the only song.

Heaven can take me only
Where I want to go
No detours, nowhere else
Should I go.
My journey may
Coincide
With you and others
Together we will travel
Side-by-side.
Into the future
Being what
We alone decide.

Let it be, let it be
It is
What it is
Let it be, let it be
No one else can change
How
What you see
Let it be, let it be
When the sun comes up
Shines
Do you see
See what you need
To see?
If so
Let it be, let it be
Tomorrow will come
Another day will arrive
And
All that happens
Let it play out
So it can
Be
Let it be, let it be.

One can hear
The world sing
A song
So quiet, so lilting.
A smile comes
Across my face
As I hear
The world sing.
No more anger
Not one bit of hate
Only love flows
Freely
Dissipates
The wrong, the sadness
That’s what I feel
As I hear
Hear
The world sing.

Looking forward, looking back
Living in the present
Trying to keep on track.
No breath is taken lightly
No heartache will
Keep me back.
Living on the precipice
Yet staying on
That beaten path.
