is always having intoxicants within
so, never my eyes blink
to not lose those moments
for the world, I shut my ears
to concentrate,
on your unuttered messages,
the messages for me.......

Getting older by the minute, losing my hair

And raise those grades 
Just study your books 
There is always knowledge for you to gain 
Continue to grab education 
You can turn it all around 
Put your mind to it

Clear my mind of all stress and
Splash, weightless, floating,
Calm, alone quiet for the moment
Turquoise color, trickle through me
Caressingly, holding me.
