I had only known you for one week.  It was a brief encounter. You said, "Remember, what I told you?" as if you were talking down to a child of five with strawberry ice cream dripping down the front of a white dress. You, the mocking bully, pushed your finger into my chest to shove me down onto the playground of life. Your accusations of condemnation that I would fail at everything I tried to accomplish. I imagined you peering over me while sneering, "Good luck with that!", sarcastically, before you hung up the phone. There was a brief silence. Oh, how angry and frightened you must feel to witness the light I seek while you cry inside all the dark rooms of your soul.
I hope you find peace, soon.

When is a word that can mean
so many things
When will you love me?
When will I see?
It's all about the love
that's inside of me?
When will I be happy?
When will I be glad?
When will I appreciate the moments
that I've ever had?
When is always waiting
what comes next.
When is anticipating
the next breathe.

She wanted him
to turn around
just to see his eyes
to uncover his truth
to discover his lies
the last snapshot
the last good-bye
a flickering screen/their lost gold
her faded dream
to have and to hold
just walked out
the lights dim, and it's fade to black
the curtain drops
they can't rewind/they can't go back
their lost hopes/their lost years
she wanted him
to turn around
she wanted him
to wipe her tears.

For all the kisses in April
may the Gods, and I -- gather them up
placing them gently 
into a bed of sweet lilac
and, red roses
where I shall give them to you
all year round.

Join in everyone it's a new day for a rising sun. Utopia is here, and there's nothing more to fear. We've waited for so long for this to finally come
the last war is finally over/yes, it's finally done.
The One Word Order has begun. So look into your neighbors eyes, and give a hug perhaps a smile.
                                        (Children's Voices)
We are finally one/the wars are finally over/yes, they're finally done---
sing in unity to this song---
"We're all one race, and everyone belongs--
la, la, la, la--la, la, la, la
All the horses have left the sky
there's no more reason to weep or cry--
Utopia is finally here, and there's nothing more to fear.
Peace on Earth is here to stay
Love, Peace, Joy, and Light are how we all live today.

You're like a phantom lover, yeah, like some kind of ghost
I reach for you but there's nothing there
making me wonder if you ever really loved me
yeah, yeah, if you even cared
as I have undressed my soul in front of you
and, I have laid it bare
leaving me with sweet sadness when you're not there
Yeah, yeah --
You're like the flicker in a candle dancing in the night
you're gone as soon as my bedroom window shows some light
there must be something about me
that brings out your greatest fears
It must be like this/something I've known since our first kiss --
You've wrapped your heart up in stone --
your heart has been frozen in ice for so long
Yeah, you've kept it safe/Yeah, but it's kept you all alone --

You don't know what to do with a girl like me
I keep it real/I speak the truth
I'm not here to tell you how to be
but I need more than this you see..

I hope someday you can set your heart free
that you can be loved the way you want to be
Oh, how I wish/how I wish
Yeah, that you would have let it be me.

A shared free fall:
definition
it's when you're in a room swimming with a sea of humanity
the doors are closed, and you can't breathe
but neither can the person sitting next to you...
still some of them/they still smile at you
when you tell them their baby is cute
even though it's just wiped graham crackers
on the book you're reading
n' you're all in the same boat
Yeah, you're just trying to stay afloat...
waiting for your name to be called
Everyone is trying not to let fear take them down
because their bottom has dropped out
a free fall
like a broken cable
in an elevator shaft
you wonder if you're the only one
that feels this way
until you glance over at the very young girl
sitting next to you
her face is like stone
n' her eyes look dark/they're black as coal/
like the've seen too much of the coldness in this world..
suddenly you're not thinking about your bottom that's dropped out...
n' you offer her your warm blanket
you brought
in case you got cold.
