The sound of joyous laughter
Reminiscing on past memories
In this moment
There is no recognition of time
But being
Enjoying the comfort of one another
Blocking out all negativity
There is only the presence

                                   Of me and you

My sadness engulfs me
Instead of me engulfing sadness
Soon I'll be on the edge
Near the brink of madness
No one is going to notice
Until something happens that is tragic

And it rained
So hard
That Lucy's pain  
Went away
But all that remained
Was battered and brayed

And if there is no other choice
I would die with a loud ringing voice.
Saying I stood my rounds for justice and reform.
I'll say, "I fought that fight they say couldn't be done."
I'll say, "I won the war that wasn't supposed to be won."
And this is only if I must die.
But I will not die.
For my voice will ring
And it shall sing
For freedom.

Close your eyes
And count the stars
And drift away
Where time is froze
For all of those
Who wish to have a dream
