It begins here. Life that is. Or a field or the backseat of a car. But let's keep the bed in mind. Be it sprung or foam modern or antique, we all start on one, are born on one, and if we are lucky leave on one. Today I bought a new one. Firm hard and good for me. Thats todays news

I looked at stars in the night
I danced to dreams in my mind

Then all around me was dark
No one to hear my voice

Then I heard the music of life
Flooding my soul like light

Louder than I'd heard before
No one could hear my heart roar

Then, then it began to fade
All that was here was no more

All now around me was dark
No more to dance to now

Everything gone far away
So I must sleep once, again

Does the hummingbird listen to the sound of her wings as she dips for nectar all day long
Does the bumble bee fly in time to its buzz as the pollen gets heavy on his back legs
Do dragonflies compete at standing still while the wings move faster than I can see
What do they all think as they go on their way looking down at steel and concrete we made
Do seagulls think "That's a nice post" while waiting to dive for the tourists scraps
Do dogs prefer lamps to trees when cocking one leg for morning relief?
All of these thoughts swim in my head
I'm sure I should be somewhere instead

To some people we exist as a memory. Hopefully it brings a smile.
To others a constant. The one whose always there.
To many a number, just to have enough.
To several just a name, meaningless on a list.
To a few your existence is everything and you may never have known it. Which is such a shame.
And some, never heard of you but your life influenced all of their existence.
So when you wonder why you're here or what's the point. Someone out there knows, even if it's not you today.

I thought today about time. If I could travel in it. No one would ever be dead to me. I could visit the past the future, then it came crashing down. They would never be dead. But one day, I would be.

Tell me
Why does our imagination, always run away with  us?
Because after a time no one else could?
Are are dreams make believe, and a thrill in the night.
Is laughter loves energy we store up inside?

Oh tell me oh tell me! Is this all life is.
The knocks and the pain that, everyday brings.
Oh tell me oh tell me there has to be more,
cos I cant take this hurt anymore

When we cry in the rain why do tears sting  much more?
When we love, or we fall, why do our hearts feel torn?
Do our fears from the past. Overlap to today
Are we better alone, and that’s how we stay

Oh tell me oh tell me! Is this all life is.
The knocks and the pain that, everyday brings.
Oh tell me oh tell me there has to be more,
cos I cant take this pain anymore

Many nights at the station I missed the last train.
Lonely and lost, imaginations left me again.
So I stand here before you the shell of a man.
I'm doing each day the best that I can.

Oh tell me oh tell me! Is this all life is.
The knocks and the pain that, everyday brings.
Oh tell me oh tell me there has to be more,
cos I can’t take this life anymore

Well I've made mistakes, hell I've made a lot.
So don't try to tell me that none of you have.
It’s a one way journey from cradle to grave
When  I’m leaving I’m screaming “I ain’t finished yet!”

So tell me oh tell me! Is this all life is.
The knocks and the pain that, everyday brings.
Oh tell me oh tell me there has to be more,
cos I can’t take this ***** anymore

Oh tell me please tell me there is more than this....
Please rescue me now, with your kiss
Let me sleep tonight and wake in your arms….
Oh tell me oh tell me that im not alone

I kept meaning to say hi as the days turned to weeks and months and the years flew by.

I'm only human
                More ****** up than ever
                                                        But human.
