Clear as any path can be,
    four years, roaming .
I walk away,
    just leave .
When I find my way back
    you're still there for me .
I walk,  hike,  or stroll,
    no longer am I running . . .

When I think you've shown me all,
    we've finally reached the end,
you teach me more,
    another fork,  another bend .

I now see I am to wander your curves
    more than any lover with words
                        [endlessly] .
farther and farther down
            heart in the clouds
              feet on the ground
                          [free]

random stranger
met him on the street
we shared a table
and conversation turned deep

never met a stranger
this day was quite unique
so convinced of fables
as we talked awhile of "peace"

i wonder if ever there was a stranger
person i could greet
who held so true to labels
like childhood tales and dreams

A relationship,
that's foundation must always be
unwavering truth and honesty ,
only on such a foundation
can there be cornerstones of trust and faith .
If a foundation is solid , it's corners will not break
And cracks from shifts , can be repaired or replaced . . .

Be it hurtful , scary , or uncertain of change ,
we must always center on these things
(Truth , Honesty , Trust and Faith)

This I say ,
because I realize that things
like people , interests and feelings, change ,
but if our relationship is set on a solid foundation
and we remain honest about the decisions we make . . .
There will stand a Love
stronger than any heartache  .

steel train running at the end of a long night
dew on the grass, waiting for morning light
you're in your bed fast asleep
didn't wanna wake you, i had to leave

wish that i could tell you how much you mean
to this broken hearted traveler you're everything
wanted to write a little, sorry it took so long
my feelings all get jumbled and i knew i was wrong

it hurts me too much to see you in pain
and i don't really wanna make you feel that way
when i'm gone, i think you'll be better in a day
i'll still hurt a little , but i'll be okay
---------------------------------------------------
(CH)
wan­na say i'm

sorry for the pain
sorry for the way
there's only me to blame
so, i'm gonna leave today

i'm sorry for the way
i let you hurt me
---------------------------------------------------
you were like a moonbeam, guiding my way
flowers in spring, rainbow after the rain
a wish in a fountain, all i want to say
is believe it or not, i fell in love right away
-------(CH)---------------------------------------------

..­.but i'm gone    and things
are back the way they should be

for you    and me
so why do i still feel like i'm falling   down

It's a beautiful day , is all I want to say
Every time you look my way it's such a beautiful thing .

It's a beautiful day , that's all I wanted to say
and it's a beautiful way you brighten up my day .

You know it's true ,
when I'm feelin' blue , I lock eyes with you
and get carried away . . .

It's a beautiful day , such a beautiful day
It's amazing the way your smile changes everything .

The weather don't have to be
"Ideal," for me to see , when you're near me all I want to say
is , It's a Beautiful Day .

. . .

when i'm ready to leave , there's no stopping me
let the wind howl and blow , i'm still gonna go
let thunder crash , let heaven scream
i'll be on the road just watch me leave

when there's no more words to write , no more fences to climb
no more trains to hop , no more roads to walk
then you can lay me down somewhere on the way out of town
and set my spirit free in a place in a place where stars are just out of reach

....

'cause when i'm ready to leave , there won't be no stopping me
let the winds howl and blow , you know i'm still gonna go
let thunder crash and Heaven scream , i'll be on the road , nothin' bothering me

when I've no more words to write , trails to hike or mountains to climb...
then lay me down on your way out of town and remember me
but set my spirit free

singing for the tree lines, not far in from shore
along dusty roads with pack on back, and guitar

cool downtown, city-weekend nights, with street-lamp, store window light
wandering nomadic gypsy soul with adopted name
entertaining for angels and saints

warm country summer days, sidewalk strumming
streaming sweat, marking time, keeping time
forgetting time, and making it
watching it , seizing or taking it

breathing , discovering , smiling , shrugging
and sharing with friends whatever's left
