Hope you saw my help wanted posting
Please don't feel sorry for me or think I'm desperate
And don't go feeling alarmed Just waiting here patiently and calm for you to knock on the door than walk into my arms

I  was waiting at the PHILADELPHIA train station for her with
Great expectations but when the doors opened and the conductor
Stepped down with his best smile my dream wasn't on
She had passed up the chance to paint the colors of our romance
Guess this is the farewell season,for the train is traveling down my
Personal track of tears clouds of nothing forming overhead
Now passing blues river, it will be stopping at sadness falls
When I lost that girl gone was the greatest dream of all

I've been through life's fire and come out on my feet
Brave and ready for the next challenge now watch me soar
Pressing on pass trials of darkness and the lion's roar
Ever knowing  inside what my true purpose is for
Keeping my eyes on the future just ahead
Encouraging myself along the way with words
That JESUS said you might laugh at me at times
Or even ignore but don't blink your eyes
Or miss when I soar

You are my most special memory in all of my recollection of thought
I know that part of a woman's charm and grace is in her mystery,
Which she will always be to some special man please come into this
longing heart
All choices made should be made in love or else what is one to do
When the lover slips out forever into the darkness of goodbye
Will you cling to whoever will have you?What happens when
The music of loving stops?
The truth is always terrifying and shameful, but it always remains the truth
We lose ourselves in the stars and each other.
For nothing lasts forever , only art.I heard you call and within my spirit
Answered your fills the deepest part of who I am
For you know me, like you know yourself. Wherever you go,I'm with
You in spirit.When travel in the mind takes me to a distant shore
I behold it in all of its wonder and beauty for both of us.
With you not near,loneliness gripsme inside with eagle claws,
Even when you're not near, I can sense you approaching

You could write a guide to panhandle smooth like glass
Hands jabbing a warning to unseen air voices
You tip closer,spit on the sidewalk
Spasms have checked into your body just like acme has dug
Craters on your homely face and ebony thin body
Walking streets invisible to pimps  police good citicens who rush past
After work to turn on burning lights you float through a sea
Of uncaring stares do they smell the sweat mixed with funk
That tongue kiss your clothes
Under a halo of darkness it would be a good time if a fork
Ever embraced your hand bringing food to the chapped lips
Parched throat if only you could snap away the hard times
Like one doing a magic trick but they won't go away like a fly
Bottom line,life is nothing not even to you

Its not my fault that I'm awesome but was made that way
According to God you might have doubts believing that its true
But He made each one of us awesome too
Don't you know that you're awesome just let positive thoughts take
Flight look in the mirror and repeat these words over yourself
Both day and night and fight for what you believe
Because with no fight you will never receive
Just say that you're awesome waking up or when going to bed
Cast out of the mind the nasty and untrue things
Others have spoken and said let your awesome take over each day
And never live another moment of dred

In the middle of humanity's jungle the wonderous sound of two cellos
Sooth my inner being floating on waves of air filling the night with
Gladness kind of a purple haze of rippling depth these two cellos
Unlike any sound ever heard before two cellos weeping tears of
Sound
