I wrote a song for someone
She knows by name just who
It's not a dedication
Not this, this one's for you
It took some time to finish
But that's only because
If you rush you can dimish
The meaning, so you just pause
When you reach that dreaded moment
Every artist does despise
Looking at a blank slate
Staring back with blanker eyes
There are no words to sing to
No lyrics to peruse
It's only instrumental
But still my thoughts infuse
And fill each note and phrasing
Nothing there by chance
In quiet contemplation
I composed for you this dance
I hope you'll always like it
And listen now and then
Remembering I loved you
Each time it's played again

dimish, for her, good night,

On this late June morning,
As distant thunder shakes the window panes
And the grey sky rolls quietly by,
I find myself stuck in a pool of time,
Swirling quietly round in a brief respite
From the ongoing rush and rapids of life
The mistakes in my years are remote yet visible,
Like a mountain range in a rearview mirror.
They recede, but they do not dimish.
The future is still misty and veiled.
I don't know where the road is going,
Though I know where I want it to go.
How many times must I play "Harvest Moon" and "A Thousand Years"
Before you catch on?
Outside, the rain has started.

Opinions are split,
There's too much at risk,
Secrets in the night,
How much is one life?
Not sure what to do?
Here, i'll make it for you,
I'll break down the doors,
And fight in the wars,
There's anger inside,
It's too much to hide,
I'm not what you think,
There's a life on the brink,
Better make up your mind,
There's a decision to be made,
And a battle to be played,
Paradise is lost,
Another victim,
Another cost,
Another demonstration of all that we've lost,
Darker nights,
With even darker days,
Hell is a place where everyone pays,
Unleash your brain monster,
and fight to the finish,
Only then will your demons,
And incognito dimish.
