Good ending
To a bad week
Break from defending,
I feel tired and weak.

Armor to repair,
Blades to sharpen.
Wash the gore from our hair,
To sweet drink and music we hearken.

Weary bones,
Time to rest.
The battle zones,
Now wear our crest.

Hug your children,
Make love to your wives.
Against the odds of a million,
We survive.

Carpe Diem

There's so much you hide
Behind that opaque mask
But for the sake of love, dear,
I do not ask.

If you want to say it,
Say it.
If you want to do it,
Do it.
If you want to be it,
Be it.
If you want to give it,
Give it.
If you want to write it,
Write it

Life's too short,
Shorter than your next breath,
Don't waste it
Take a minute,
Ponder,
If the world ended tonight,
Would you die a content being?,
If not, are you doing all that you can to change it?
Do it.
Everything else, is up to Him.
And if you're looking for a sign,
*Here it is.

It's hard to understand,
Where exactly we stand,
Feel the ground beneath... shaking,
Somewhere, something... breaking,
It has happened in the past,
Before you were around,
It's happening again,
With a louder, deafening sound
Do you feel it?
Does it scare you?
Let's talk,
Let me prepare you

A beacon of hope, you came to me
A lighthouse found before I drowned at sea
All along I was searching for some meaning
Praying for more than the life I'd been leading

North, East
West and South
Lost in many ways
Possible
Tracks erased
I’m following a small star
Trying to find
Where you are

The stars make a play of calling out your name
I use airplanes for wishes and your voice to stay sane
Dream catchers cast shadows along every wall
I try hard to stand upright yet I usually fall

Every day that passes by
It kinda ***** knowing
Time still lies
60 minutes that runs so fast
While savoring
Moments that don’t really last

Dancing beneath a matching sunrise
Kindred souls and kaleidoscope eyes
Gliding like feathers in a world of anchors
Crafted this safe haven in a life of danger

Time, sweet time
Not really caring
Just handing out limes
I’m just a shadow
Blown around by the wind
Till the signs show up
And now we’re intertwined

Another coffee so late as wait 'til tomorrow
Meeting again like the sky greets the sparrow
First time I saw you, I knew I'd met my truth
The stars aligned on time, and then I saw you

A grain of sand,
Once part of a desert dune,
Taken away by a windstorm,
Parted too soon

Regal was the life,
In the dune where I was born,
Unearthed now,
From my existence torn

A wandering gypsy,
I'm one with the wind,
From all my attachments,
Unhinged, unhinged

Weary from all the breathing,
Exhausted with the shreds of conversation,
Worn out of the pretence,
Drained with all the thinking,
Just...





Tired.
