FIND OUR WAY BACK HOME
FIND OUR WAY BACK HOME [Verse 1] We dreamed once, you and I, Underneath a younger sky. Hearts unguarded, wide and free, Believed in love so easily. But time swept in like a bitter tide, Washed away what we tried to hide. We let go when we should’ve held tight, Now I’m walking alone through the night. [Pre-Chorus]...

A THOUSAND THINGS I MISS
"A Thousand Things I Miss" On this cold December eve It’s just me and the moon Thinking ‘bout that fateful night You came to hear me croon A shooting star lit up the sky But I saw brighter in your eyes Love at first sight, no need to try Girl, I fell… and I can't lie Tonight, I strum this old guitar While my heart...

Push
Push My inner voice is saying You can do it, go ahead I want to but my brain keeps saying No, just stay in bed If I listen I may try to go outside of my front door And if I go will I go on to see if I can do more? One step at a time Scary as it seems I think...

Gifts of gold and diamonds, you can put away, Those aren’t the things that’ll make me stay. I long for thought, for love that’s shown. In ways that make me feel I’m known. You go all out for others on special days, With gifts and words and thoughtful displays. But when it come to me, it feels so small- Like I barely...

DESIRE OF AGES
God would rather crucify His son than to condemn you to death. No other story matters so forget all the rest. This only tells me of Gods love and mercy towards his most precious creation. Guiding us through us it all in any situation. He knew what Lucifer would become so He had a plan in place. The savior, His...

Love Remains
Love is not a lonely island— not the silence between two chairs, but the song sung in unison across a shared table. It is celebration, not separation; a dance where both souls move in rhythm, not apart but entwined. We know love because God did not shout from across eternity— He came close, whispering, I am with you always. Not once. Always. Presence, not absence. Bridges, not walls. Love builds roads where feet can meet, hands can...

The Prismatic Self
Night time again. I ask for god to forgive me. An hour passes, I blink. I see myself in the reflection of my eyes. Pages sit on my bed, unwritten, I don’t dare touch them So they may remain complete in incompletion. I shiver and heave at the thought. Two more hours pass and I have touched them now. I sip at...

Futile
I accept you for what you are, what you’re not and who you’ll become . I want to know your thoughts so we can ponder collectively. I want to feel the warmth from your embracement giving me comfort and security. I want you to seek refuge and shelter within me. I want my name to...

When I gaze into your eyes, I see a void down in your soul. I feel this tender longing, to give my heart and make you whole. Your mirrors whisper softly, "Please come to me, share your touch." My heart is being summoned, I want your loving very much. Words that flow from your spirit,...

Just You
Your smile does something to me Your laugh makes my head spin How you’re so patient And I don’t have to say a thing Even though I’m always overthinking How your opinion alone is reassuring And your presence, though it may not be physical, grants me peace that I’ve never experienced with an earthly man Love sometimes is beyond confusing When you’re...

A YEAR IN PASSING
January wakes us weary, New resolutions pressing heavy. Then comes February’s charm— A month of love, or wasted calm. We march ahead into March, Preparing for the chill to lurch. April brings the planting days, As a third of the year slips away. Hope returns with open skies, Maybe this month—maybe May. June arrives with quiet tunes, We wish the world would feel okay. Halfway through, we...

Running in Vain
Misty paths darkened the way, Better days, it seems are too far away. Want to escape, want to run away. But the ticking clock doesn't sway. The mist doesn't fade away. Running and running until my feet hurt But can they see? My pain remains hiding in the dust At one point after the pain, a question...

Samsara
Now quiet, settled, easy, leisurely through life’s affairs,—say, couched in everyday— and sipping being’s sweetest, freshest ray; Sunshine!, Sunshine! ‘midst winter’s coldest glee! Now troubled, disjointed, uneasily fumbling, scrambling through dumb frowning time.—Gray- -haired night’s murk weighs down gay light’s mirth filled play...— tumbling through summer’s scorching cruelty! An inescapable alternation of gloom and cheer,(to be—and—not to be), wheeling circles and cycles—infernal,— recur, relapse, return...

If You Leave Me
If you leave me The clouds will split open like coconuts Acid milk will pour over your cities Lightning will flash, skinny like my fingers I will pry through the sky to reach you I will travel through time to reach you If you leave me The wolves will howl They will come for your flock of sheep Blood will spill, dark like my...
