make me invisible
make me ten times greater than I am
make me ten times smaller than I ought to be
diving in the deep end when you never learned to swim
this is not the way to learn to see.

I want to trust myself and my intuition
I want to trust in my own greater visions
the abstract ideas that fall from me and feelings with unknown faces make it hard to even see.

what I wouldn't give to run away into the woods alone
with nothing but a quarter and a portable pay phone
so that when I am afraid, I can call myself at home.

the shadow in the light on the wall looks like the shadow of a face I barely recognize at all
you stand so tall as you watch me fall
I find myself in the same place and seeing the same face that I tried to come to ignore
but what for?

when will we break through the mirror?
why can you see the parts that be that I did not even know were me?
will we turn our backs against the wall and hold on so we do not fall?
I cannot look at you for a long time
I avoid the recognition of your eyes
me in you and you in I
a distant air
a broken rhyme
I know who you are.

harsh words spoken
old wounds open
hidden emotion
when love walks out the door
in time, it will come
you try to maintain your mystery despite the history
you cannot hide from me
you can no longer hide what lies deep inside
you cannot ask me of any more.

the shadows fall on the pavement
the rain, it falls on the ground
the starlight falls on the trees
the leaves, they fall all around
All Things Fall, our time will come
now it is the season for the Summer to succumb
succumb to its ending, for nothing can last
Autumn has arrived, but this too shall pass
it is now the age of orange, red, and brown
the paintbrush of Nature wipes us all down
stripping us of who we were before
the blackbirds, the crows, they caw at our door
now it is the time to lengthen our sleeves
to prepare the people for All Hallow's Eve
to sit by the fire or near candlelight
to reflect on ourselves and what is in sight
All Things Fall and rise again
enjoy this time before it ends
All Things Fall and rise again
enjoy this time before it ends.

orange dewdrops chase your tail
follow you oh so quietly
the stone fox creeps into your world
trails behind you ever so slightly
patiently
your message waits for you to pick up the phone
you need to know so you may reap what you have sown
you are never alone.

you said our spirits search for ones we've known before
yours must remember mine
your soul returned for more
a piece of you is a part of me
my soul is cut into smithereens
prism of possibilities
but I wake up alone and free after dreaming you were next to me
but freedom is not as it seems
you touch the very heart of me
but I wake up alone and cold
shivering in silence
frozen on my own
until you lie down next to me
you said the mountains are your innermost home
with you, I no longer feel the need to roam
your eyes are the evergreens, the winter pines
the flecks of golden yellow color the road signs
the smoky fog that rises and lifts my spirit high
your spirit is the mountain that lifts me to the sky
I would follow you if you just had to go
I would come with you and make that place my own
but for as long as I know your love and your restful soul
I am a little piece of everywhere connected to the whole.

reach out and touch my soul
the flames in me burn hot as coal
I have the token
I paid the toll
you do not yet know your role
so you slow down
you lift me up, knock me around
why must I always play the clown?
I mend the tattered fabric of my heart on the other side of town
your heart sees mine like a tunnel throughout time
we communicate through movement and love through pantomime
I find it difficult to let it go
a few months have never seemed so long ago
I've come back to let you know
I'm on fire
