There comes a time when the road calls your name
This is for the ones finding their way
Some stories begin when you leave the page you knew
Some stories begin when you leave the pain you knew

As you're getting ready to step into the new  
Fresh winds calling, skies a different hue  
Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young heart finding its way—who knew?

Wishing you moments of laughter and grace  
Prayers always for you, in life’s wild race  
Strength, courage, healing, and wisdom too  
For a life that's radiant, meaningful, and true  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

Though we haven’t walked all roads side by side  
We still cheer for you, with hearts open wide  
Don’t let the past keep you in its bind  
New hopes, new starts, leave no dreams behind  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

Be kind, be bold—but guard your flame  
This world can smile and still play games  
Not all who reach out have hearts that are true  
So trust your gut—it’s always guided you  

Never give up—kept faith will win the fight  
Even in shadows, you carry your light  
And when the weight feels heavy, or dreams feel far  
Reach out—we're here, no matter where you are  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A wise heart grows where the brave pursue  

Let joy be your compass, let time be your guide  
We believe in the fire you carry inside  
Be true to yourself and hold your truth tight  
Storms pass—your light will win the fight  

Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

May love surround you, wherever you roam  
Your new place awaits, but you'll always have  a home  here
Chase your own sunrise, let your heart lead the way  
And may hope and faith guide you each day  


Many chapters in your life, girl, they're just startin' new  
A young soul on the rise—who knew?

If you lack wishes,

you will be trudging through life --


as through a desert.

Witches and wishes
Correction's table, questions trouble:
Avid is a quiet chance, of baring before fishes...
With a knowing stare, at worth final

Philosophy's of radiance
Real reaches of meticulous sorts
Sordid weal, fit enough for water's amends
Sanity is, a character being assured...

Two, catching a wishes fish...
Tomorrow, under an eye?
Presence over, the pace of a king?
Kisses that took you for, literally why...

Worth, saw an ideal
Of promises and integrity, fire
Is a sly ordeal, the lips of a devil?
With the pout of seldom, wisdom is many denials

Nobody wishes in a fire...
Sun appears to be, a likewise friend
With time's retrospection, irony is a love higher
That should know, how heaven came to be life's wind?
candor at the cost of a lover? or is a storm of protest just over?

In the startling silence of black night.
The ancient stars sweetly whine
with the weight of countless wishes.
Secret desires succeed in shine,
burning with the chance for fruition.
Of those that longed with daily battle cries.
To end torments that the sun brightly denied.

And when the day arrives wearing heaven's blue.
Never forget, strength has a voice too.
Star beaming out of you.
Someday love,
We'll live down by the sea,
Together for all of eternity.

Someday love,
We'll be away from pestering eyes,
Making a life for you and I.

Someday love,
We'll grow old with our son and daughter,
Joyously watching as they grow.

Someday. . .
Wishing
I want a love that lifts, not weighs,
that lights my soul, not dims my days.
A love that walks, that dares, that tries,
not one that waits with downcast eyes.

I want to feel a burning spark,
not just a whisper in the dark,
a steady hand, a voice so clear,
a man who knows, who draws me near.

I want a presence bold and true,
a heart that beats with mine in view.
No chasing shadows, no silent plea,
but footsteps strong that walk with me.

I want a fire, fierce yet slow,
not flames that fade or cease to glow.
A love that lasts, that won’t demand
the life I hold in open hand.

I want desire, not just a thrill,
but something deep that grows at will.
A passion free, yet firm in space,
not fleeting highs, but strong embrace.

A man whose strength is warm, not cold,
whose love is sure, whose hands will hold.
Who stands beside me, not behind,
with fearless heart and steadfast mind.

I want to move, unchained, unbound,
no weight to pull me to the ground.
No debts to pay, no roles to fill,
no love that drains my heart’s own will.

I want a life where joy runs free,
where voices dance in harmony.
Where love is given, strong and pure,
not earned, not fought for, but secure.

And so I stand, my heart made new,
no love half-lived, no path undue.
No less than this, no dreams denied,
I trust the path, let life decide.

If my desire of immortality
Was not delivered on Tyche's oak desk
And my neck accepted Death's penalty,
Make my funeral transient and modest.

Do not dump me bunch of would-wilt flowers
Nor weep with salty tears upon my earth
Instead scatter me some seeds of asters
For when they blossom it is my rebirth.

Though if God of Wishes grant me this dream,
Erase my name from your reminiscence
As I have ventured out this weary realm—
I'm with the stars flaunting my omniscience.

Either way I'll try to end it laughing,
A fitting mood for my new beginning.
The sun descends on the horizon,
Flaming all the way to its death,
A far ways out in the ocean.

I shed a tear watching it fall,
Though, not for that great ball of fire,
Come tomorrow it will rise again.

The tears I shed are for you,
For my arms which will be empty tonight,
Always wishing you were here.
If only
If I were not old
I would paint the house
and shore up the insulation.
I would go out and **** the garden
and cut down brush and vines
that have taken over the yard
and suffocated my flowers.
I would put in a metal fence
and plant roses around it.
But I am too old for that
and I may die here one day,
in a darkened room, caught
inside the crumbling plaster,
whose windows are covered by ivy,
which reaches its fingers across the walls.
It is almost as if the errant plants
strive to imitate the flowers
I used to bring inside and
place in bouquets to brighten
my world, no matter how small.
I shudder to think what will be,
now that the flowers are gone.
The idea of painting the house came from a line in a film; a man was asked what he'd do if his situation were different (can't recall what it was) and he said "I'd paint my house'. I identified with that and the frustration of not being able to do it. Then it veered off into aging and death, and I just followed my errant thoughts--it's foolish to ignore them!
