Take a Step Forward and Don't Look Back


Drama of lover’s fears and tears.  
I place my hands up to my ears, 
Roll my eyes, and walk away,
Oh, why does it have to be this way? 
Why can't things ever change for us? 

~

I take...

Spelling a thing of the past,
Thank-you cards will disappear,
Cursive writing will be lost, 
No more postal mail.

Phone conversations are gone,
All temples of worship close,
Libraries lock their front doors,
No more paper books. 

Good news for Craig Ferguson, 
Entertainer - Late, Late show,
The all new Johnny Carson,
No...

Step Forward and Choose Life
I've grown tired of feeling dead and of making the wrong choices
so I've decided to choose life and to take heed of the heavenly voices
I've made so many decisions that were spiritually wrong 
for I did not take them before the altar of God where...

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
one step forward, two steps back
that is how most of us live
in our daily circumstance
one step forward, two steps back

progress made is progress spent
wondering where it all went
always late to the main event
one step forward, two steps back

running right while leaning left
taking back what we've...

Step Forward
The sickest branches are easiest to spot, 
by the damaged bark and the smell of rot
our shears are poised to trim and cut
the blades are opened and then snapped shut

But some, appear benign and healthy
their disease is sometimes sly and stealthy,
are these the ones that...

A Step Forward
I stand still
Yet things go on around me
People come and go
Dates fall from the calendar
In slow motion 
Yet disappear so quickly

I stand still
Yet events are visited
Tasks are completed
Come and gone
Captured only in memory

I stand still
Where I started 
No closer to
Yet no further away
From a goal,...

First Step Forward
Unprepared as ever,

I was scared.

My past proved I was no good.

But I wanted to believe the truth.

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath,

Watching the smoke disappear from my view.


This too had to stop.

I couldn’t break another promise.

So many unwanted thoughts clouded my head.


The...

Step Forward
There is The Door,
That world,
Step forward
Into that time,
Place.
One can do that even here on Earth.
The night calls,
The fading light.
The music comes alive,
More noticeable than in the 
Noise of the day.
Unless one becomes still enough to truly listen.
Music of the spheres, extension of
Heaven's serenade among the...

Take a Step Forward  

Quarrel of lover's fears, tears, and laughter;
I place my hands up to my ears and roll 
my eyes, I wonder, what are you after.
When we wed, we were one body one soul.

Why, does it always have to be your way?
Why...

One Step Forward
We are heading toward the unknown morning,
ready to face with the heavy light of the world
only this livid silence embraces us now,
yet still, I do not fear to take one step forward
for I know there's no future forsaken
for I know I am going to happen...

Step Forward
Step forward and take the ground I’ve given you.  
Did I not say where you put your foot you shall have?  
Do you believe Me not?  

Why then do such small things concern you 
Rather than the great things that I have...

1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back
Why is life such a struggle?
like your life has this big crack.
You take one big step forward,
And life knocks you three steps back.
You just can’t seem to get ahead,
No matter how hard you try.
Some days are worse than others,
And it just makes you want to...

Step Forward
Smell this
Smell that
Look thin
Feel fat

Breath in
Breath out
Drop in
Fall out

Step forward
Step back
Pull out
The tack

Clean wound
No scar
Move fast
Go far

Good day
Good night
Always
Alright...

A Step Forward
This Intoxicated feeling, open doors that follows a never ending story, twisted chapters  and a lot of memories that comes out of the world. That soft voice was light spoken, " the visions of that's to come such never be something to die for."...

If you focus 
on your potential
Rather then your fears.
If you focus
on your strengths
Rather then your weaknesses.
You will find your steps
begin to head towards
your destiny.
