Me

After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me

I found

Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

I Feel

I feel your presence
I feel your love holding on
To the beauty that was ours

When you were the only one
I really loved.

Times have changed
Times are not what they were

Still, I feel your embrace
Your breath kissing me
Surpassing
All that time, that space

Till the day
We’ll be together once again 
Once again.

Don’t Make Me The One

 

Don’t make me the one

Don’t make me
Fall from grace
Have no fun

Don’t make me the only one

For the flowers speak
The waters wave and the trees bow
Knowing they too

Don’t want to be this one.

Quickly, Busy, Get It Done

Quickly, busy, get it done
Figure out how without a scowl
Quickly, busy, get it done.

Rejoice in life, let it flow
Sacrifice not one iota
Of those things that make you whole
Quickly, busy, get it done.

You’re not the Father, nor the Son
You are you
The only you, the only one
So quickly, busy, get it done.

This is It And What We Get

This is it and what we get
Please don’t have any regrets
Because the world is small
And full of things
We should not forget.

Move on, pass through
Trace your steps
Of what you want to do
Pleased with yourself
Master of those deeds you’ve done
Run forward
Forward into the bright distance sun.

You are one. One and only one
Don’t forget this is it
And truly all you’re going to get
Make it good, make it just the best
Full, with no regrets.

In The Midst

In the midst of this entire world there is only one me.
Me, mine me. Only me
I am one
The only one that is me.
