When the Stars Looked My Way
rain fell with riddles
chalk dust tumbled from my hands
I loved the schoolyard —
learned questions I had not asked—
left un-quenched thirst in my mouth
seashell in my hand
I pressed it hard to my ear
I heard sea strumming —
calling me like it knew me
until tide drew my voyage
clocks ran without me
their teeth grinding daylight down
turning gold to dust

On My Way Home - I'm All Alone!
The road was rough, the path well-worn,
My boots were dusted in what we mourn.
I walked by the field we used to know,
Where dreams were born, but failed to grow.
A window glows behind a hill,
A face I loved, maybe there still.
But time's moved on, and so have we,
After we fought - I lost the

Perhaps I'm not made for love, a labyrinth where I always lose my way
Perhaps I'm not made for love, a labyrinth where I always lose my way,
The moment I think I've found the chosen one turns into illusion,
The instant I feel I'm in love proves to be just a notion,
And when I open my heart, trust is shattered by gestures that wound me deeply.
I wonder, will I ever

why do I stay when things don't go my way
Why do I come back time after time, day after day?
Every time I fail, I keep telling myself I will rise above.
At this point, it might be a lie.
Why, oh why, I want to cry out.
So full of doubt.
These words I spout.
Why do I stay day after day?
Why do I stay when things don't go

Feeling my way
Sitting here watching the sky
Clouds go floating by
As you get to a certain age
Faster turns the page
Time no longer creeps
It starts playing for keeps
Sun beating down warming the day
Seeing places memories play
Staying out of tomorrow's way
Find me soon enough
Hang tough
Everything I'm looking to see
What I'm looking to be
Paying the price of being me
Haven't

On My Way
Morning waits for His signal, His sign
dew melts into the gentle petals,
a story blessed by love, a story of grace
a love story, broken by hearts who bleed
remembering the darkest moments
the distant sound of fear, overwhelming grief
dawn whispers across the silent skies
revealing a blessing, the sound of laughter
in the trees, in the wind’s gentling sigh
leaves twirl,

My Way
The lights explode, I’m giving it all,
I dance, I jump, I bounce, I crawl.
Each move’s a burst, each laugh a win,
I’m in my element, let the show begin!
When the crowd disappears, and I end the show,
I wonder what’s next, where I’ll go.
Dad’s not here now, I’m far from home,
But this path feels right, I’ll make

Guide my way
You reached that age, that time in your life
The fork in the road, you must think twice.
What to do, go left and go, go, go
Or got to the right and take it slow
You made your choice, head that way.
Memory kicks in, remember back in the day
Hands on your head you turn around
Listen closely but you

On My Way To His Place Today
On my way to the dearest first love of my life today.
After a single dark day, I finally feel okay.
On my way to lay alongside him without feeling any fray.

Lost My Way
I stumble each day,
Praying to a God I now barely believe in.
The years of turning to my faith
Diminished
In the eye of insurmountable pain,
A loss so great that it shook me to the ground.
Searching for the why
In your goodbye,
Feeling betrayed by the Great One,
Stealing my precious child in the wee hours of the night.
Struggling to find

Not My Way But Yours
Not My Way but Yours
I tend to go my own way,
many times, I don’t obey.
Like a sheep that’s gone astray
to temptations I seem to fall prey,
when I fail to go Your way.
