Scars begin to fade
as do the memories that caused them
scars begin to fade
and that's ok
I'm getting happy again
smiles returning
scars fading
laughter echoing
scars fading
kisses sharing
butterflies *living
You follow all these twisting lines and wonder why your
      thoughts derail
    
      I can hear a sirens call and my ship ends up nowhere.
    
      Take it back and take it in
           Only time can tell.
    
      I found you there again
          In our sanctuary's light.
    
      The lamp is dim and the 
           Road is quiet,
    
      Just as a far away night.
    
      I can take a magic sign and bury all the neglect,
            I will make a memory of everything we've kept.

I'm consumed by the world of blue.
Outside this home is dark and cold,
but as I look up, I feel the warmth
of the stars--when the world is quiet
is when celestial bodies burn brightest.
Tonight I believe in nothing but the light
emanating from this heavenly ceiling mist
and the hope that one day we'll again see the sun.
it's about van gogh's "the starry night"
All the flowers of the spring
Meet to perfume our burying;
These have but their growing prime,
And man does flourish but his time:
Survey our progress from our birth—
We are set, we grow, we turn to earth.
Courts adieu, and all delights,
All bewitching appetites!
Sweetest breath and clearest eye
Like perfumes go out and die;
And consequently this is done
As shadows wait upon the sun.
Vain the ambition of kings
Who seek by trophies and dead things
To leave a living name behind,
And weave but nets to catch the wind.
it is dark with you
I squint to see supernovas
on yellow stumps

the wispy silver ripples
fall the wrong way
nothing is left but
tobacco exoskeletons

you brood against velvet arms
sinking into the chair
the stone in your chest is heavy;
immune to April plumage
spilled nectar
and the smells before rain
In seeing my fathers eyes close
My lips read a mind thought
His breath fell away
Not moving

This sadness came to me
I'd lost in my life
My father
Departed

Now 6 years have fallen
See my tears still the wet
My longing is wanting
His smile that he left

No person to laugh at
Just full of regrets
I so wish I had them
My times
See my friend

My sorrow continued
As sun dropped away
The clouds had the answer
Brisk snow fell to sway

To a smile
In my face I knew
He was here in my heart
He's part of my mind

I'm all of his son
I'm all of his life
