Sitting here
I want to relax but I'm pressed by these thoughts that conceive the fear
Of all the people that I love and hold dear; dying,
Just the thought of them leaving here and not saying goodbye
And to be honest it confirms all my fears
To know that one day death with claim everybody that's here
To know that one day death is going to stand right at my door
One day I'm going to die and not be here anymore...
I wrote this during a time in my life where I was extremely concerned about dying. Enjoy

These silly rain drops
I wonder if they notice
The way they soak up on the lotus
Or the way they shake my concentration when they fall, shifting my focus
I wonder if they know
That they're the reason flowers bloom
Or that from them we can see when thunderstorms are coming soon
I wonder if they notice
They're the reason I stay inside
I don't mean to be shy
And no I'm not trying to hide
But I love watching these silly raindrops fall in such a style
I know that they can see that they're the reason I have a smile
