Forget About Us
You took our things
And boxed them up
Put them away
Into the dark
At least when they're hidden
You'll have a chance to forget about us

HBD
HBD
Just press pause
Then hit rewind
Take one deep breath
Go back in time

We're always young
That's where we start
Don't miss your youth
It's in your heart

Happy Birthday

On The Mountain
Losing vision on the mountain, sun begins to set
Find us standing at the summit, shaped by silhouette
Search for answers in the wild, or find inner peace
Let what you know begin to flow, spiritual release
As worries numb, answers will come, time is only now
Succumb to senses, drop defenses, find oneself somehow

Can't Take It Back
You can't just take back
What's already been said
The words have come out
You've now made your bed

sleep in it

Motivation
Put down your podcasts, pause all your shows
You've gained all the info you can from the pros
While Oprah is smart, and Jordan is wise
The words that they share are but words, not the prize
You can't be successful, or all that you dream
If you can't overlook all opinions mainstream
Some people will curse you, while others cast doubt
To be all you can be, you've got to crank out
Ignore all the fluff, get down to the work
Rise above all the slime and the dark muddy murk
First set the intention and just go from there
Your mind is a blessing with thoughts rather rare
To be all you can be, there is no more try
The doers will do and the others will sigh
You're destined for more, now this much I know
Just put in the time and you'll reap what you sow

A Day At The Beach
Tidal process
Abrasive progress
Rocky shore
Sandy floor
Quiet day
Ocean spray
Salted shell
Melodic swell
Chilly feet
Lovers meet

Lichen
Just as the lichen climbs up on the tree,
So too does she grow further on me

Drown in the Past
A deep sea of time
In which I float
Diving down under
A story is told
Ships pass from above
A memory vessel
Coming and going
Each one a lesson
Dive deeper still
Touch down on the bottom
Feet in the sand
Drown in the forgotten

No Looking Back
When I'm gone
I won't look back
I told myself so
I'm not leaving darkness
But rather
I'm leaving light -
Quiet mornings in our bed
Laughter in the kitchen
My head in your lap -
Sometimes it's harder
Forgetting what you love

Slow Days
The days that are slow
Are the same ones I hate
Too much time to think
Mind quickly gains weight

I think of the past
And then think ahead
I'm done with this day
I'll sleep now instead

In Love Again
I look forward to the day
I fall in love again
This time with someone new
But just as I once did
When I fell in love with you

The World Kept Spinning
You said those words and I ran to the woods
Running over root and leaf, detritus
I found the bridge that defeated the water below
I caught my breath
The river raced on underneath
The wind passed swiftly through the trees
You told me you didn't love me anymore
And still the world kept spinning
Love Loss Nature Heartache Alone World

— The End —
