To Peter

Time flies, memories hide Deep inside us, fester and boil Tormenting our thoughts Controlling our lives We think they are hidden Surprises us to find You see them there lurking May understand in time I can’t take from in me The truth of my life If I think of it right now Brings tears to my eyes My being is so complex I stand here alone There is no one to understand This world of my pain Don’t ask me to explain I don’t have the words The feelings are twisted The emotions all churned Hold still now and listen You will hear from within The emotions take hold there My heart rips at seams The past is so far gone We can’t live by its rules The future’s not yet here Don’t live there too soon Today is the only day Here with us now Should be just this one That resonates somehow I still feel that big hole Of past that has been Memories still haunt me And keep me in chains Can’t change where I have been It makes who I am I need to learn understand That there is a plan The advice that is given Is so good for me Its comes with a great love From friends that I need Why is it that I find My ears they do hear But my being does not like The words they hold dear If I could just sit now And ponder my life Makes changes for pleasure I wouldn’t think twice It would be one of laughter Of fun and good times Of happiness and stories To spread on the grape vine There would be no more tears No more hurts from within No room for more sorrow No thoughts that are dim And when I hold this world In the palm of my hands I will blow gentle breath And let all be so calm No more fights on our planet No more hurting or sins No more anger or violence Just some peace in this din As this friend to that friend I’ll say this to you If ever you need me I’m here, I am true.
