Where did all the beautiful souls go?
Once upon I time I knew so many,
And we danced, loved and lived to a music that no one heard but everyone felt.
We stood naked before one another souls bared.
Free of judgement.
Free of worry,
Before this life had to made itself so real.
When my friends would kick the can,
Not the bucket.
I always go back to one time.
It stays in my mind like a pond of serenity,
In a ocean of chaos.
Misty morning campfire, if these beans are warm,
I am content...
I am content.

Parchment crumbles to dust,
Planets fall into the sun,
Stars burn out to black.
The universe forgets all,
And is born a new.
But  here and now.
This moment in your eyes.
Is our forever.
Ours and ours alone.
That's  all that ever mattered.

Start with a feeling,
A moment, a glance from across the room.
Lose yourself in her eyes for a second long eternity.
Can you feel it?
It's the connection that makes this life.
Writing a story.
Your life is one.
Make it fantastic.
Make it a romantic comedy where the guy gets the girl.
Be that witty charmer.
You've spent too much time focusing on the bad and the sad.
But it's all love now. And it's time to let it out.
It's time to love life and love someone.
This story is too short.
Like when you watch your favorite movie and you don't want it to end.
Keep the characters with you.
I met a beautiful girl today and she told me to smile.

Work through the night,
With my hammer I swing.
Smile of delight,
When the iron it sings.

Back strong as oak,
With Fists out of lead.
Lift pipe well we joke,
Wipe sweat the from our head.

We work to the bone,
And don't care about rest
Our skills we do hone,
diesel pumps through our chest.

Dawn creeps through the trees,
See the grass and it's dew,
Mind clear and free,
Coming home to you.
