Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Dosing off into sober clouds
I am flying,
                            Where am I now?
So close I could taste the blue sky like water
Swimming below the sun
                                                       I do not burn
The soft voice of the wind singing against cold skin
Softly darting through my finger tips again and again
                                                                                 Yet i do not fall
  Trusting the Earth to hold me up
Push me into the heavens
As my memories fall behind me
I lose myself completely
Every Love I ever had
Every time I was ever sad
Every smile that fell on my face
Every person in my heart, and their place
My soul it flies away
But my body here will stay
My wings no longer beating
Keeping my eyes open, depleting
Hold that breath before death blows it away
Into the sunset as I cherish this day
Hold my memory to your heart
Keep the pieces of me a whole part
Goodnight Earth
I love you all for what it's worth
Let the sun soak me in
And let the new day begin

With eager eyes and tempting smile, I beckoned 'cross the wharf
And they returned, a sad reply, stating he must morph
into a man -in pieces then- who puts things back together
Whilst I sit here, and wait and wait, and keep on till forever.

Kingdom comes, piggies fly, time churns soft and slow
Every hour, like the other, shuffling to and fro
Mind is racing, heart is beating, must be with him soon...
He is the sun, he is the stars, he is the solstice moon.

But he is full of hatred, and angry, scary things
That I cannot behold because my covered ears will ring.
I will not hear the wretchedness that billows from his mouth
I will not be the victim of intentions headed south.

Now he’s an angel, under God, and all the better creatures
that prize the gentlest, passionate, souls who mirror all their features. They never asked, only assumed, that I would be alright
But Oh! the torture over one who turned away from light.

So here I wait, on endless shores, until they come for me
Or maybe not, really, who knows, what lies beyond the sea
The water holds the untold words of thousands who've passed on
And here I am, scribbling the script, of stories before dawn.
