When the light of day closes your path of sight, shadows come, the heat of the day is forgone to the cool moonlit night. The serenity of these shadows conjure up illusions only ones mind can see,Sit back and relax, watch the movement of the trees awaken your imagination to see,Not the leaves not the branches... but a beautiful mermaid breaking through the waters surface... Or a flying carpet with a genie sitting on top ... Don't be afraid to push inside your minds eye, find your creative side, what can you see in those shadows of dark and light?

The flowers bloomed
And the shade was green,
Suspended in time
When nothing was wrong –
I should’ve hugged her then

Her smile was a tower
That led to the sky,
Tumbling and rumbling
Through the clouds of my mind -
I should’ve hugged her then

I would like to say
That at least I tried
But no one who ever died,
Lived long enough to say that
To anyone

I should’ve hugged her then

The emptiness in my eyes,
The truth behind my lies,
The fall before my rise,
And the goodbyes;

It scares me.

The dark beneath my skin,
The light within my sins,
The voice that loudly sings,
And my broken wings;

It scares me.

The wounds I can't heal,
The pain I can't feel,
The loss I can't deal,
And when I am real;

It scares me.

The silence in my little talks,
The stillness in my moonlit walks,
The thought of separate ways,
And my numbered days;

It scares me.

The demons under my bed,
The words spinning in my head,
The blood in my sweat,
And my cold breath;

It scares me.

Sweet kisses of sunshine and honeysuckle transport my mind back in time... Walking free my friend and me... No worries no foes, round trip no woes... on the bridge we took a peek... wading in the creek at days peak... the Moons light took us home at night... Morning sun brings us back to the guard shack...
