Fractures in a mirror
Pieces of a whole
Not yet broken apart
Reflected, is a distorted image
Beautiful in it's own imperfect way
It only takes a blow
To shatter the glass
Release the shards
The imperfection is gone
But so is the image
So is it better to have imperfect beauty?
Or nothing at all?

Ever feel like a ghost?
You're sort of there
Much less than most
You drift in and out
Existing between worlds
Playing with shadows of doubt
You're just mist
Can't make a mark
Want to play in the sun
Only visible in the dark
You want to stay
The wind blows you away
You come back
Things are not the same way
Everything is grey
You watch what once was stone
Slowly change to clay
You want to speak
But you can't say
A thing
Because you're a ghost

There is a deck of cards
And a table for two
Each chair is made of wood
The cards are colored blue

You pass this table every day
Never giving a second thought
About sitting down to play

Others have played the game
They say you should too
But the game is a gamble
And the stakes are too high for you

You look at the cards
And know that the rewards can be great
Maybe you should place a bet
Before it's too late

Adulthood is a semi
Barreling down the highway of life
And I'm standing in the middle of the lane going
Crap

Candle light
Shining bright
Flickering softly
In the night
Pure fire
Yet so fragile
Gone at dawn's first light

She plays
Her fingers moving swiftly across the keys
Melody and harmonies take flight
Swirling and coming together in the air
Like a flock of sparrows

She plays
Each chord coming faster than the last
She pours her soul into the piece
Lifting it to a crescendo

She stops
Silence lies heavy on the room
The notes halted in mid flight
Her head is bowed
Moments pass

She plays
Her fingers move softly
Delicately, she releases the final notes
The flock disperses
Leaving the air empty once again

Little boat
On the sea
Little boat
Sails with me

Little boat
New winds blow
Little boat
You have to go

Little boat
Feeling blue
Little boat
Can't sail with you

Little boat
I'm on the shore
When you come back
We'll sail once more
