Traveling the open road
Losing sleep
Seeking thrills along the way
Vision getting blurry
Can't find your way home

Random acts of kindness
Giving pleasure
Forgiving oneself for endless mistakes
Deep Thriving headache
Can't find your way home

Another fork in the road
Taking a left
It was supposed to be right
Letting go of regrets
Finding time to find your way

Open road
Open mind
Paths getting clearer
Timing is Everything

It's like, waiting for that "Thank You,"
That sign of gratitude.
Appreciation reckons with the sign of authority.

Being stranded,
Alone in the woods,
No one to hear your calling,
Not a chant echoed in the distance.

It's like, wanting to be seen in the shadow of the night.
Standing there,
Just gazing at the structure of the moonlight.
All along, you are hidden among the nation,
Leaving but a trace in their sight.

It's like, the wilting of a flower,
The drooping nature of it all.
A dying force,
Halting the bloom of a resurrection.

There is no spring to offset the cold.
You are forbidden,
Let truth be told.

One of the saddest things in life
Is watching someone leave your life.
They set themselves free,
Like a bird that sets sail for the warmer seasons.
It's like losing a pet,
One that runs away,
Set out to explore the rest of the world.
You'll never know how many miles that thing will travel
Or how long they'll be gone
But just anticipating and wishing that they find their way back
Hoping they will return, someday.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had an agreement
The point of view that civilizes the connection between you and I?
You treat women as if they are an item up for sale,
Today I get the lowest bid.

What is it that bonds the friendship that we have?
It's as if we're holding on, like a frayed piece of string, sewn into the tapestry.

The world keeps turning and I've been standing my ground
I let you drown me out with your game
Well, I've been taking lessons, and then I learned how to swim.

I'm going to step back into the light, so I can see the shadows that surround me
I'm going to turn and walk my own path
And expose you with the pictures in my mind.

When I'm gone, you won't find me singing the same old tune
I heard the flow of this life will bring a brighter melody.
I won't be asked to raise the bar any longer for you
So when I'm gone, I will sing a song for you.

When all is said and done, I won't be able to explain, so don't even try.
Strike a pose and quote your favorite line
Give me reason to store you in my pocket book memory.
The time is now, Away I go, off to a distant land
To an ancient hideaway, forbidden, in secrecy, away from you.

Another soldier,
Another fallen warrior.

Life was too precious
For this man to behold,
He died of his own death
Leaving so many stories untold.

Just "Bite the bullet,"
But No, it was too late,
Losing all means,
The bullet bit him
Losing all of his dreams.

Lives underground now,
A legend, a rebel, no longer a powerful tool,
Buried with a stake to the heart
Tatted with the vows of a fool.  

Good bye & good riddance,
Alone is his soul.
With so much love left behind,
Life's finally taken his toll.

I deliver mail down in the valley,
The long winding road that leads me spiraling deeper,
Into the hidden treasures of the wilderness.

As I go down,
It gets darker and colder.
Seems like the world has vanished,
Free from the chaos,
Peaceful.

The water flows freely,
Rings in my ears,
Provides a zen like show.
And I remember this is the place I go,
Everyday.

This is my job.
I am at home,
Same is the reason
Each and every home has been built.

I do not mind
Going down
Into this calm and humble place,
It's as natural as the alibi that my mind has conceived.

Alone I am,
Down here in this secret gem.
It's just another day
Delivering,
Down in the valley.
