there is a beginning, in that I am sure
the ending is out there, right through that door
the door may not open, will that be a surprise
if you open it early you may meet demise
in my honest opinion, the secret is clear
keep that door tightly closed and kick life in the rear...

thinking about the morning
creating a new day
making new memories
changing direction
watching for the past to pass
waiting for the future to arrive

I must confess, that the world is a mess
but it's not to gone to save
it will take time, but with that in mind
how did it get so ”grave”
the people concerned, are the people who learned
what's wrong and will help make it right
it will be rather stark, as the mess is quite dark
but together, we can turn it to bright.....

with fiery and attentive steps, our love remembers
remembers all the hours of living without
living without each other to balance life
life inhabited in the eyes of each other
other lives are covetous, of our balance.....

who set the temperance in the square-faced clown
he was dancing and strolling and roaming around
he was scary, he was strange, he was really quite large
no one knew how he got there but he came out in charge
his hair was was chaotic, his skin an orange hue
he wanted to tell stories, all of which were not true
his stay should be over, in that fact we hope
the square-faced clown, it appears is a hoax....

the poet's mind awoke to the yearning of the crusade
his quest to answer all questions in verse needs to prevail
be not astounded by how his mind paints his feelings
he will not rest till his mind is emptied

whispers already inspire the question
can you hear what is being asked
if you understand, what will be your action
i imagine there will be a task
the ideal purpose exists for a chance
to bring back the days of yore
those days can be seen, with a backward glance
but it will take time to fully restore
looking forward is simple but change is hard
moving on is what we want most
the shock, it seems, we know we are scarred
how do we shed the that old ghost
