The Discovery

I awoke to a nightmare
Opening my eyes as if dared.
Dared to believe
That you were there.

To sleep for dreams...
     Of really what seems...
          So real...
I do not want to wake.

But what if I don't?
To wake and deal with this pain
And accept the reality of this place.
This pain may very well never be replaced.

And... I may miss "The Discovery"
"The Discovery" of love,
That no doubt will come from above.

So I wake to this nightmare...
     Opening my eyes...
          Daring to believe...
That one day you'll be there...

Climb On

"When you wish upon a star,
It makes no difference who you are."
You must climb to reach that spoke,
Hand over hand, stroke by stroke.

This dream in the back of your mind,
It will eat you from the inside to the rind,
It struggles to get out,
Constantly, consistently fighting you with doubt.

It shakes the cage from within
Looking for some where to break out
Do not ignore it, that passion within.
Open your heart and let the climb begin...

About You

I really don't know what to do
I'm figuring out that all of this is about you.
And with these miles between 
I feel like God is being mean.

It's all about you

A second time lost by distance and disease.
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
So I do what I know, and look toward the skys. 
Once again no answer comes,
And silence again prevails,
So I tell myself what seems like old wives tales.

It's all about you.

And maybe this is all just blind hope,
And my mind's too far out of scope,
Unable to focus anymore.
As my heart is certainly unable to sore.
It's reached its peak,
So I write instead speak.

Cause it's all about you

And what would life be if it weren't so cruel
As to cause physical pain in you.
I have to find the nerve to send you messages.
So I'm sorry that it's just these passages.

I just don't know what to do...
But just so you know it's all about you...

Beautiful And Free

Quietly away,
Together and alone
Moving as trees in the wind sway
Beautiful and free.

No worries in this moment,
Rhythmic movement,
Back and Forth.
Beautiful and Free.

Wrapped in limbs,
Arms held tight not letting go.
Praying this song never ends,
Beautiful and Free

A memory until next time.
Come sooner rather than later.
Hanging on a moment in time,
That's Beautiful and free.

Sun In Your Eyes

Trying to find hope in the future,
 As I see pictures of your tour.
When I see the moon and stars,
I pray you see them too.
When cloud cover makes mine seem far,
I pray they shine brighter on you.
When the sun shines down,
I pray it warms our ground.
When clouds cover my sun to tell me lies,
I pray you're outside...
Dreaming of your favorite place,
As it warms your face.

With nothing but the Sun In Your Eyes
With nothing but the Sun in Your Eyes

Unaware...

In this warfare
no one is aware
of what they're doing
because it's so consuming.

Focused on the "me",
it's really all they see.
They're sticking and stabbing
with hands selfishly clawing and grabbing.

There they stand 
with the knife in hand, 
They don't care who gets it in the back!
And the bodies continue to get stacked!

When the time came,
who was to blame?
In this warfare...
were we unaware?

Or did we JUST... NOT... CARE!!!

Mounting Wings

Running Hard with goals in mind
Jumping harder to take flight
Patiently waiting 
Wanting to come over night.

Hoping to fly high
But not like Icarus
Mounted on wings of pride
To collide in death of dreams

Waxin wings are to melt, 
So what can sustain?
Not only the ascent toward the sun,
But also the descent when it's done.

Fear of flight is paralyzing.
And as you lift realizing
Anticipation replacing fear,
Fear of what's to come.

Take the risk,
Be committed to the process.
Fear will subside.
You'll begin to fly
