Sometimes the truth
hurts
and
not the best thing
to hear.
Sometimes its good
to accept the truth
as it is
as it seems.
Sometimes you can
make the truth
the truth you need
to embrace
and
to believe.

Hold me close
Hold me where I can see
All the beauty
Enveloping
You and me.
Never let me go
Never let me be
All alone
Without you close
Near to me.
Our hearts beat
Together
Our lives are intertwined
Let it be forever
Forever til
The end of time.

Another day not the same
A cloud, a veil
Lifted
Now I see my terrain.
All is clear
My purpose, my direction
My refrain.
I sing and live
What gives me satisfaction
Gives me
A life to live.

I feel the heaven and the lie
I know the answer I sigh
Nothing is respectful
Nor is it what I need to know
I cry
So I cry.
I see the heaven
I see the ocean’s die
I am part of the earth
Scotched, bleeding dry
That’s why, that’s when
I cry
So I cry

I find my heart cold
In charge of no life
Making no sound
Finding no life.
Lonely of course
Hardened and cruel
Seeking no justice
A master I’m sure
That is such a fool.
Sudden I hear
A kindness roar
Blood pulsing inside
Like opening a door.
For my heart is alive
Beating with life
Coursing with love
Creating a good life.

When you see the greatness
The majesty
You’ll also see the power
And the glory.
No stone unturned
No path untread
No heart lying
Waiting in an empty, lonely bed.
All will be together
All will be suffice
To make this world better
To give this world life.

My heart grows old
With stories that are told
Snuggled in a soul
That will never, ever
Grow old.

I can’t keep you happy
I can’t let you go
No one can say the things
I need to know.
Bow my head in anguish
Raise it in joy
Move forward, telling
No one where or what
I need to know.

Everyone isn’t the one
I should have been
Accepting that is harder
Then anything has ever been.
Maybe tomorrow it’ll be
What I want, what I need
But that remains
Remains to be seen.

Wandering now
Where I’ve never been
Seeking now
Things I’ve won’t begin
Leaving now
Thoughts I shouldn’t have held so tight
Gone now
From the darkest night
Flowing now
On a path not so straight
Holding now
Promise as I go to the light.
