Adrift upon this emotional tide
When will I hit land

Spring has
Sprung the fields are
Full of flowers in bloom
Bees buzzing collecting nectar
Wild animals in the deep woods
Fish jumping in the lake, weather getting
Warmer now grass has turned green
Buds on the trees new life has
Begun, hay growing in the field
Nature is awesome in
The spring time
Enjoy

A culinary dance in the kitchen
To the rhythm of the recipe

One
One beat
One song
One voice
One

One beat pounding out it’s constant tone throughout eternity
One song joins the beat giving it movement and action
One voice calling from the wild
Calling to all who will listen
The voice brings words, power, and grace

The beat is existence
The beat is life itself
The song brings movement and action
The voice brings words, glory, and power
The voice is by which we express ourselves to the rest of creation

The beat always was
Always is
Always will be
even before the beginning of time itself
The beat was
The song drives the beat forward
It creates movement and action
The song is throughout all creation everyday
The voice pours from the mouths of every human being
It pours from the human soul and heart
Words that bring joy
Words that bring pain
Words that just are

One beat
One song
One voice
Three parts yet all work as one

Burning fire in my soul
Love's eternal glow

Ice cream sundae
Ice cream sundae
What a tasty treat
Best way to beat the Summer heat

I love you sis
If someone is hurting you
Let me know
I will deal with them

Three days
Three nights
Yet an eternity without you here

Don't just stand there
Spread your wings and fly
Soar to the highest point
Never touch down

You can achieve your dreams
You just have to believe

Having much fun with family and friends
Cook out fun day at the town lake
Playing games fun in the sun
The smell of grills blazing
Kids on the playground
Kites in the air
Lots of fun
Had that
Day

I say I miss you
You say you miss me to
Like it's some sort of game

You don't understand
You most likely never will

The longer we are apart
A little piece of me dies
The longer we are apart
A part of me fades away

Clink
Clink
Go the glasses
As another toast is made
To life
To good time

Beer is the drink of the day
Having a good time
Watching sports
Or just being together
As long as beer is around
Have fun
Life's a party
Ejoy it

Raise your glasses high
Make another toast
Then drink
Beer

To sleep
To wander the pathways of the mind
To trully be free

To sleep
To dream
To explore one's imagination
To explore one's true self

Let's go on a magic carpet ride
Fly through the air
See new places
See new faces
Our imagtnation has no limits

Let's go on a magic carpet ride
See castles
Meet kings ans Queens
Find dragons
Lost gold
And other wonderful things

Let's go on a magic carpet ride
Go and go and go
No stopping now

Two
Zero
One
Nine

A new year with new hopes
A year of joy
A year of pain
A year of sunshine
A year of rain

So much to look forward to
In the new year

But first
Stay up until midnight
Party party party
The old year away

The surgeries she has had in her life
Have left many scars
Many people laugh at her
Many people make fun of her
All because she was born different

I  for one see past the scars
I see the beautiful person she is
She is shy
Afraid I will laugh
Just as all the others have
I have shown her my scars
Told her my story
Still she is weary

I don't blame her
When all the kids laughed at me
It took time
Time to heal
Time open up again
Time to love

Yes I understand
For now we are just friends
She at least trusts me that much
I am cool with that

50 years later he cherishes them still
Sitting in the closet silent and still
Lunch boxes from days gone past
memories that forever last
First fight on the playground
The great cafeteria food fight
His first kiss
On and on
The memories flood in
As he looks at his past once again

These old lunch boxes
have new lives and stories to share
A first aid kit
A tackle box
just to name a few
New memories made
As each story's told
In with the new
Never forgetting the old

The Machine is growing
The machine is strong

What is the machine you ask
The machine is anyone or anything
That tries to strip us from who we are
Who we are as a people
Who we are as individuals
Who we are as the Human race

The machine is emotionless
The machine is cold
Wanting all in perfect order
Wanting all to fall in line
To think as one
To move as one
To be stripped of our very core of being

The machine demands order
Anyone who does not comply is shot
The machine demands loyalty
Anyone who does not comply is shot

Stripped of who we are
Moving like robots and cyborgs
All for the collective
The individual is lost

However
There is hope
There is light
Within the dim coldness
There are those who dare to defy
There are those who stand against the machine
They know they are fighting a loosing battle
They fight anyway

They fight for individuality
They fight for free thinking
The fight to free those already taken captive
They fight to not become captives themselves
They fight for the human race

The machine hunts these rebels down
One by one
They are destroyed

Still the rebels fight

Ice cream sundae
Ice cream sundae
Piled high
To the sky

A flavor mountain
Of tasty goodness
Ice cream
Hot fudge
Carmel syrup
Whipped cream
Nuts

Ice cream sundae
Ice cream sundae
A flavor ****
in your mouth

Depression is like
A spear of ice
Stuck into your heart
Freezing you
From the inside out

Depression is like
Living in a world of shadows
No sun to warm you
Always cold
Always alone
You can hear people talking
But they sound
Distant and far away

Depression is like
Being half dead
You may be alive
To the world around you
However
You feel dead inside

I am dragon rider
I fly through the air
Upon the back of my winged serpent

I am dragon rider
Together we seek out
To destroy our foe
To bring justice to the unjust
To right the wrongs
done by evil people

I am dragon rider
When my winged friend and I
take to the sky
Evil can run
But it can ot hide
We will find it
And when we do
We will deal with it

So evil doers
Watch out
Dragon rider is coming
Justice will be served

I saw you waltz across the restaurant
With that tray in your hand
Your movement
Your poise
So captivating
So graceful

You came to my table
With your pad in your hand
With the voice of an angel
You asked if I wanted anything
It was all I could do not to sound foolish
Not to say or do anything stupid
So taken by your beauty I am

When you took my order and left
I could not help but watch

Filling drinks
Delivering food
An exotic rhythmic dance across the floor
When you brought me my food
I felt like I was being fed by a goddess

I ate my meal
but I could not help
But glance up at you from time to time
As you glided gracefully here and there

I finished and paid for my meal
I caught one last glance of you
Then I headed out the door

You hide I seak.  Face the tree count to ten, then sound the call," Ready or not here I come".  Oh where oh where are we hideing, behind the car, to easy.  Behind the bush, worth a look.  ****, he was behind the car, the chase is on.  we race toward base, both red in the face.  I want to tag him however he made it, he's safe.  This time I hide and you seak.  Alight Tony, I will start countimg, you go hide.   "Ready or not here I, AAAHHHH!  Tony what are trying to do give me a heart attack, standing behind me like that.  Dinner time need to go in, have a good evening, see you tommarow my friend.   See you tommarow as well, by the way Tony, Never do that again.  Noted

Footprints in the sand
Showing me where I've been
All I have been through
To become the person I am

There at the street corner he stands
With Bible in hand he preaches
He preaches God's word for all to hear
For anyone with a listening ear

His clothes are
Tatered
*****
Worn
He has been cut by life's thorns

He looks
Weak
Hungry
Worn out
Like a fighter about to be knocked out

Still he preaches
God's salvation
God's mighty plan
Trying to help one and all understand

Sure he looks like something
Someone has thrown out
His love for God is strong
Of that there is no doubt

He's been arrested
He's been locked away
As soon as they let him out
He finds another street corner
And starts preaching away

They've
Beat him
Threatened him
Cops have tried sending him away
Nothing they've tried has worked
He just preaches away

The city has tried
Many times
With laws to confine him
None of them worked
For it's God's power
That defines him

He knows up in Heaven
He'll be homeless no more
His words will then echo
Out forevermore

So next time you see a street preacher
Don't turn away
For it maybe worth
Hearing what they have to say

I am not
A puppet on a string
Here for your amusement
I do not
Nor
Will not
Dance to your whim

I believe I can fly
Nothing to hold me down
I spread my wings and go

I believe I can fly
Up into the highest heavens
Far above the clouds
With the Earth far below

I believe I can fly
Just untie me and let me go
Let me run
Let me be
Nothing to keep me grounded
Nothing to oppress me

I believe I can fly
Let my spirit soar
To go as it pleases
Chasing it’s fancy
Chasing it’s dreams

The words flow
From pure emotion
As the pen marks across the page

My tears fall like acid rain
As you play your hateful games

Hey funny man
Up there dancing and clowning around
Hey funny man
With painted face, baggy clothes, and large shoes

But
When the show's over
The makeup and the costume removed
The person the audience doesn't see

A man of deep sparrow
A man of gloom
A past that haunts him
Sadness and doom

Pull off the pettels one by one
She loves me
She loves me not

Letting the future be determined
By this flower in my hand
She loves me
She loves me not

Day by day
Our love just walked away
We tried
And
We tried
Nothing seemed to work

Day by day
We gave it our all
Put every last ounce we had
To try and make things right

Day by day
We realized we were starting to see the end
No matter how hard we tried
No matter how much we loved each other

Day by day
We drifted further and further apart
Until there was nothing left

Poetry is life
Life unyielding
Life with passion
Life unfiltered
Poetry is life

Life is an adventure
Accept it
Do not run from it
For the only way to truly grow
Is by taking on the challenge
To stretch yourself
To reach beyond your limits

So accept life's challenge
Go upon the adventure
Learn all that you can
Grow

Christmas time
It seems so merry
Friends and family
In good cheer
Presents
Food
laughing
Joking
Decorations all around
Carolers making a joyful sound
High spirits
Lots of fun
Christmas time for everyone

Beautiful
Energetic
Trust worthy
Heart warming
Amazingly awesome
Nothing compares to her
Yearning to know her more

I feel lonely
I feel hurt
A thousand
No
A million tears
Burst from the floodgates
And
Flow as a mighty river
From my eyes

Peer preasure
The media
Schools
Government
Religion
All want to keep us on a leash
All want to control us
I say enough is enough

Time to stand up
Time to fight back
Be who you are
Do NOT let them decide
Break the leash
Free yourself

You are your own person
Stand firm
Sound your voice
Rejoice in yourself
Be all you were trully ment to be

Going on an adventure
Going on a quest
Seeing new places
Putting myself to the test

Christmas time is here
Time for joy
Time for cheer
Friends and family
Gathered round
Love and laughter abound

Christmas time for everyone
Young
Old
Tall
Short
It doesn't matter the color of skin
Christmas time
Gives you a grin

Party all night until dawn
Restless energy to spend
Party hardy my good friend
Hangover later

Woke up this morning
Raised my weary head
A knapsack for my pillow
A park bench for my bed
There’s a police man yelling at me
names running through my head
I’m a man on a mission
Preaching out salvation
With my Bible in my hand

I was born into this word with a mission and a plan
Preaching out the good word across this barren land
I know the task will not be easy but with the lord I’ll take my stand
Preaching about Jesus and the devil, about Cain and Able, and about the promise land

I’m preaching out your words of glory
Saving lives with the truth
I’m preaching out your words of glory
You sent your son to die for me so now I give my life to you

As I walk across the world and see the soulless sin of men
I pray the lord’s forgiveness will be placed upon their heads
I pray for my own forgiveness for I to am a sinful man
For I’ve seen God’s glory that he sent to me to help me change my ways

I’m preaching out your words of glory
Saving lives with the truth
I’m preaching out your words of glory
You sent your son to die for me, so now I give my life to you

As I lie down at night
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I pray forgiveness for everyone that I meet
Lord I have to ask a favor and I hope you understand
For I’ve lived life to the fullest as a boy and I want to die like a man
Starring down the devil let me make my stand

So he can be shot down
with your words of glory
saving lives with the truth
I’m preaching out your words of glory
You sent your son to die for me
So now I give my life to you

Angry at the world
Lost
On going heartache
No one seems to care
Emotional turmoil

I am broken
May your love
Weld me back together

I am cold
May your love
Keep me warm

I am scared
My your love
Calm my fears

I am empty
May your love
Filll me

Beer
Beer
Tangy and sweet
Beer
Beer
With the food I eat

Beer
Beer
Bubbly foam
Beer
Beer
Store bought or made at home

I am addicted to you
Your beauty
Your personality
Are so so so
All right so I can't explain it
I just know
I need you in my life

You are my drug
You are my fix
I love you more
Than my own life

A spark is all it takes
To start a mighty blaze

May that spark be in you
May that mighty blaze
Burn with the passion of life
May that blaze never die

Wiggly
Giggly
Jiggly  fun

Laugh
Clap
Stomp your feet

Let the giggles take over
Let the wiggles take over
Let the Jiggles take over

Wiggle, giggle, jiggle
Jiggle, giggle, wiggle,

Wiggly
Giggly
Go go go

Jiggle
Giggle
Laugh some more

She speaks
Though without words
Her expression says it all

She speaks
Though without words
Her hands do the talking for her

Why was she born this way
Mute
Meek
Without a word to say

The world shuns her
turns her away
All because of what she can not say

Is there not someone with a loving heart
Is there not someone who cares
Or will they all just stop and stare
At this woman without a voice

She wants to speak
She wants to convey how she feels
She wants to love
As well as be loved
Instead of seen as a voiceless freak

She cries when no one is watching
For to let the world see her cry
Would be letting the world win
That she can not let happen

She is strong
Despite the pain
She carries on

She feels no shame
She was just born this way
She prays for those who mock her
Hoping they see the light some day

Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
You took this lost man
And made him found
Your mercy covers me

Amazing Grace
Oh how sweet
You think of
A sinner like me
You have never let me down
