So this is me,
This is what I've become?
Of all the turning roads,
This is where I've come?
~                                               Sleep
                            Let peace come in the morning
                       Let gentle happiness come afternoon
             when evening comes as light slips from the sun
        Ill dream of subtle pretty things as another day is done
~                                When i sleep
                                 I am the ocean
                                   I am the sea
              I am winter wind through dying leaves
                  I am a bird that dives in the breeze
                            I am her as she is me
                     So when the light is to bright
                Close your eyes and dream of night
                   I am a ball that bounces down
                     I am an old merry go round
                I am the grass thats growing slow
                     I am a man with an old soul
                     I am the gentle autumn rain
              I am the winter when the dying begins
                               So hold me close
                                But not for long
                       soon enough i will be gone
                               I am not the grave
                           You dug in the ground
                              I am in everything
                                I am all around
             So when you wake In the midnight dark
                     Do not cry i am in your heart
~              Isn't it strange the words that we say
                         These emotions we have
                   are just masks that we've made
We could be stars
We could be trees
We could be everything you wanted to be
We could fly high
We could dive low
We could be everywhere you want to go
We could be sweet
We could be sour
We could sit and watch the stars for hours
We could be large
We could be small
We could find the love that is laced in us all
We could stand tall
We could fall
We could kneel at our place in the wall
We could be one
We could be everything
We could have it all
We could grow old
We could die young
We could stay up
We could sleep in
We could wake up to find its all alright
~                      I stood outside her heaven
                            Hoping for a glimpse
                       Through crystalline window
                     Of multi faceted stained glass
                         It made her look an angel
                       Yet i know a demon resides
                          Beauty from the outside
                            But rotten black inside
                  Sweetest words with dark beneath
                 Even though id like to throw a stone
                     To shatter the silence between
     The rot inside pushed you far away from what is me
                     Ill shed a tear for cold lost years
                         And turn to find my heaven
~                  Where is my fair love
                   Who filled me with joy
                  And fed me her beauty
               Kept me well with her love
                    With eyes so green
              As the pool in the meadow
         So deep i could fall in and drown
   Yet death with her would not be so sorry
       Wrapped inside her warm embrace
       Better than living a thousand years
             And never seeing her face
   But not long ago her tree began to wither
               A darkness grew inside
              Pulling her love and light
        Leaving her withered and dying
     And when she passed her final wish
       Was to be buried in our meadow
            I can see from my window
             The land where she lays
     I planted a willow instead of a stone
                  And on it i carved
        "Lay me in meadows of green
                 Under skies of blue
                 Don't weep to long
             For ill always be with you"
      Her life was in trees and meadows
          Her life was of love and beauty
                I know she waits for me
               Where the water is sweet
             Where there air is of crystal
       At the end of the path we will meet
    Hand in hand we will walk into the dark
