A long way home to find something new
a desire, a still heart and possibly something blue.
There goes the wind and the sails
Have we all forgotten what's in view?

The creature, two-fold, stands tall in the breeze
as something caresses the unease of the mind to ask,
"Have I not been accustomed to this task?"

Sunken yet brave, a new dawn appears
Rebuked but not forgotten the strength of many years.
A little too late though not far gone
The horizon is near, be not weak, be the mountains.

Simple

As simple as they are they go unnoticed
Unraveled by time, yet shamed by grace
Seemingly simple and delicate like flowers
Unwithered by space, unstoppable powers

Speak of the truth and to hear one say,
"Have not one grasp of the triumph today?"
Sold by virtues, inherited from blame
She goes out to seek another game.

It's one of those days...

When things don't go right
We fall & seem uptight
My lenses seems to be unfocused
And I can't find my flight...

A wretched heart
A weak & frail thought
I linger in my senses
Afraid of the drought.

So here it goes again
I waiver & let things begin
So my mind does not linger
So I may have my sanity again.

It's one of those days...

A Strong Mother

A mother who's strong
Shows others the way
The way to stick through
And stand tall without fray

Be not weary but tough
Be not teary but proud
'Cause you show us the way
To float above hardships like the clouds

Angels & Demons

Sometimes in a flight of fury we forget to stop and think.
We sputter gaseous liquids and our minds go blank.
The scenery is a blur and the night closes in
And when we realize all is lost our might comes from within.
To sit with utter ignorance and yell for a peace of mind,
Sometimes in a flight of fury we forget to stop and think.

The angels loom in and the demons even closer..
Our skin grows thin and we lose our muster.
Begin to reap your soul until you find the answer
So that one day again you find that courage to offer.
Sometimes in a flight of fury we forget to stop and think.

Pushing you away..

I'm pushing you away
Because I have to
Because I think I should
Because my mind plays games
Because I'm afraid of losing.

I don't want to be hurt, but I want to be close
The feeling of desire and the urge to be touched
To be held and to be listened to
To risk being open and to depend on you.

I'm pushing you away
Because I want to
Because the urge is strong
Because I know I'm wrong
Because you're too good?

I want to feel the good, I don't want the bad
I ask for too much and ask too little.
To make mistakes and want revenge,
My heart lacks the courage
To do something as simple as
Making amends.

I'm pushing you away
I don't want to
I'm pushing you away
To save you

Speak

SPEAK SLOWLY
SPEAK CLEARLY
for they do not hear the meek

SPEAK GENTLY
SPEAK CALMLY
for they know not what you seek
