Music soothes
As
depressions shadows
crawl across me
Every note goes inside
my clouded mind
Sending me on a delightful path
Where the darkness dissipates
Dancing into shades of colors
Where I wish I could
just lay there watching it all
go around me
Like the old lazy days of summer
on the grass watching the clouds
pass in the blue sky
Every note helps my wounded soul
heal
Where tears fall in the end of it all
Filling my heart
Silence in broken tones
Soothing blue notes wash
across my soul
As I sit there dreaming
Wishing my heart could take flight
Flying away into a place
Where no dark moods steal my life
away.

Compelling words form in my mind
Flowing like  streams
into the ocean of time
Mixing into the seas
Words of beauty
and
frothily dreams
Images of me upon the sandy shore
Dipping my toes into the sea
Where I so long to be
Escaping into my mind
along the ocean side

There inside is where
I walk by the sea
With beautiful words soaring
like the seagulls into the winds
of salty air and balmy breezes
As the sea rushes to the
shore
Inside my mind I escape
to be alone
Where the sun sparkles like diamonds
through the waves
rushing around me
Encasing my soul in the waters
of the unknown
Dipping into the deep
As waves flow over me
I'm serene in peace.

Life
What's it all for
Rumbles along the shore
Just sweeping us through
Not knowing
We end up in places
where our hearts die
Images come through our minds
A life we'd like to live
but we haven't got a dime
to move and breathe in our dreams
Just stuck inside the complexity
of life
Frozen in place
Speaking  words to soothe our aching hearts
Trying to survive the way the world collides
As greed slowly inches it's way up
in our society
Turning the middle class into the poor
As dreams become vapors
Like smoke rings
Faded memories at the door.

Shadows of you fill my mind
As though you are here
beside me
Where your face lingers
inside mine
I thought I was alone
After leaving you so long
ago
It seems I've carried you  with me
In the shadows through the years
Can't escape the memories
Flashing through my mind
The things we shared and all the sad
and happy tears

The door continues to open
Seeing you standing there
With outstretched  arms
Beckoning me into the past of haunting
dreams
With a smile and a tear
Broken memories filled with emotions
of all we were to one another
Fading into the air
Leaving us separated with gaping holes
in our hearts and souls
Traces of lost dreams
Where old days died
Crumbling to dust
In the shadows of you
and me.

Sending sunshine through
the rain
Looking deep
A rainbow shines in every
speck of water
Where the pain has gathered
like a log jam
Colliding in spasms of darkness
As flutters of light dance
through every drop

Inside the streams of life
As it pours through me
Driving me insane with passion
That seeps into my broken
heart
Mending my lost soul
Joining to the living stream
of life
The circle continues
Moving me through every dark
night.

Secret soul
Insanity rules
Seeing the world in a cockeyed
view
Locked away inside myself
So I can't scream
Truly a light shined
in my shadowed mind
Seeing the truth inside the darkness
That seems to creep through
hiding my exceptional soul
From a hateful world that I abhor
One good day raises
up my life
As it slowly tumbles down
right back into the rumble
of the garbage in life
Where God sends a speck
of light
To help me see that some people
still have good in them
If only you look
beyond the cover
of night.

Sleep dreams
Underground in dark tunnels
Life within life
Wandering through dreams
of my real life
Connecting to my soul
that walks among the living
A solitary person
Attempting to find home
Going through deep waters
flowing so gently around me

Sometimes I drown within the darkness
underground
Searching forever searching
inside my soul
For the tiny light burning
In the dark tunnels down below
Where my mind turns
in turmoil of shadows
and places

Before I was born
A tiny light
was placed within my soul
To glow as I slowly find
my way back home.

My love is like a firefly
showing very little light
Except when surrounded
by the darkness
That enfolds my life

Hope is like the stars
Unseen in the sunshine of prosperity
Only discovered during a black night
of adversity

Seems my heart is always in a whirl
Spinning through sorrows
So tired of walking through dark nights
Hiding my feelings deep in my soul
Pieces of my heart crack open
falling to the floor
Can't manage my crazy emotions
anymore
Somewhere out there
God has a handle on my soul
Taking me down paths of unknown
darkness
To bring back the luster that once
was in my life
Where the jewels have gone
dark inside my lonely
soul
Becoming burning embers
waiting for a spark
Sending fire through my life
Creating a whole new
soul.

You say you love me
Your heart is only mine
As your words shatter into pieces
around the wall that hides my heart
Where your passions seem to die
inside your eyes
with traces of emptiness
Leaving only a coldness that freezes
our love in the air
Where words fall flat on whispers
from your lips that speak
crooked words

The sparkle that once swallowed
our souls
Has somehow dimmed in the
well of time
Echoing through the hallow walls
wrapped around my heart<3
In the cold chill of night
Where no arms reach for me
Holding me tight

You say you love me
I say actions speak louder than
your words
Help me to believe they are
true;\

Words are few
All bottled up to blow
My muse has flown the coop
Leaving me alone
Often confused

Where are my words
that once flowed
Tied up in knots
without a clue

I feel empty headed
Nothing to be said
Left in silence
Until she returns
Giving me a voice
that deserves to be heard
All bottled up in confusion
within this troubled soul
of mine
Where my voice has gone silent
for a time.

Hearts tucked away in silence
Bleeding tears of blood
flowing through the walls of loneliness
Where I'll always be found
Sitting alone in darkness
As depression fills my mind
Inside
this world of mine
Walls rise
No one understands me
Or
Why I slip into the madness
of
my mind

Feelings crack open
Slither down my spine
Heartaches begin as I close
the door to all who might come in

Sometimes as I lay
within myself my light grows dim
Shadows crawl along the wall
of my mind
Snuffing out my light
As though I died to all
feelings of being alive
Depression slowly
eats at my soul
when  heartache and pain
are so much alive
In the dark clouds surrounding
my mind.

Out of place and out of tune
My hearts out of sorts
most times
Feeling the tug of life in blues
through my childhood days
Like the rhythm was not
synchronized 
 
Feelings of isolation
swept through me
like a wave
Filling up empty places
with a sadness
no one could explain

Vague memories of my mother
trying to get me to play
with other children in the day
Compelling me with dolls and things
As I sat with blank stares
Like I wasn't there

Just a empty shell
waiting to be filled with all of life's
dreams and thrills
Maturing slowly as I felt
out of place inside my own skin
through the years
Always trying to find
a purpose for being here.

Shoot to the moon
Stars strung across the skies
Memories fly
How I remember your smiling eyes
A heart of gold
Though the world tried to turn it to dust
Try as we must
You were the one
who loved me
so much

Youth blinded my eyes
to all the pain that you bore
A loneliness to the core
Shaking your soul
Rattling your bones
till you just couldn't take it anymore
Leaving me here to stand alone
The ghost of you within my haunted heart
Your face remains through the years
As I
slowly walk down the path
that leads me home to
you.

My soul is like
the eagle
Soaring among the clouds
This is not my home
It must never loose it's skyward look
I must keep faith
I must keep hope
When my hearts in pain
yearning for special things

Keep my courage in the darkest night
When the battlefield is hot and heavy
Where Christ stands beside
Telling me to look up for he is nigh
No time to retreat
No time to sit idly by

When darkness approches
It's time to fight
standing my ground
Never loosing sight of the sky
Where beauty can be found

Keep your skyward look
my soul
And always be ready to fly.

Somethings wrong
This life is too broken
My soul seems to always carry
a sad song
Music inside needs to soar
It's the communication  of the soul
Connecting all to the stream of light
where God stands at the end
freeing human kind
Music is the end of the rainbow
where life comes alive
Streaming through to the inner soul
Music is the healing kind
that touches everyone's soul
Bringing people together with a smile
that you wouldn't have seen before
Filling lives with peace and love
Healing broken souls
A language of it's own
Music is the bridge that binds us
all together
As we walk down this road of life
with lonely songs
to be sung.

My heart turns to ice
Frozen in time
waiting to be melted
by your kisses

As we grow old together
my heart still gets butterflies
When we hold hands
walking side by side

In case you hadn't noticed
There's still love in my eyes
I'll love you
till the the moon's upside down
Sprinkling stars in my
eyes

Sometimes when I look at you
remembering all the years
we've walked through
The kindness of your heart
has always shined through
The tender moments
have outweighed
the heartache we've been through
Down through the broken
road
We'll always walk
holding hands
with that speck of love
Where it all
began.

Beneath the load
of
darkness my petals fold
into pieces
As they slowly shatter
upon the cold hard floor
Where the world
steps upon them
Breaking apart my soul
Leaving me
in
pain and heartache
As my petals are crushed
beneath the weight
of
the heavy load

Blowing winds of pain
scatter them along the road
Leaving only blood stained
steps
Where I walked
Trying to gather pieces
of my heartbroken
soul.

By Weeping willow

In case I should fly away and die
To find my rest in Jesus
Just remember me
In your minds eye
As
I slowly walk beside
the slivery moon with stars
in my eyes
For there I will reside
beside the still waters
Lying peacefully upon the green grass
below
the weeping willow
Where the waters run deep
through my soul.

Birds dancing on the winds
Blowing so gracefully
through the sky
Lite as a feather
Passing by my window
As I watched
in
awe

Like God was saying hello;]
Sending smiles to light my eyes
with life for awhile
So
I could smile
Wiping the blues away from my eyes
As the birds
passed by my window today
on the winds of god
Then
just disappearing
hidden from my eyes
Vanished into the winds
Like they
were transparent
in the skies.

Color of the day is blue
as my heart flies away
into the night
without you

Where inside the cave
of rock I hide
Sheltered there in silence
as my heart cries blue
tears of ice
Melting as they touch
the warm ground
Where you stood

Shadows of our souls
pass through
Showing only pieces
of what we once
were
Echos of laughter flow through
the cave
Where I'm alone
without you

As I listen
I hear your soft voice on the winds
passing through
Calling my name to come
join you

The color of the day
is blue
As I'm without you.
