Heads or tails, either which ways,
options will present themselves
and we’ll go through the motions,
vibrant and blissful.
you've sailed away
and left me behind
still much like the sun
i go through the motions
regular as clockwork
inside i wait

from within looking out
from outside looking in
clear sight erases doubt
as wispy dream forms thin
as the actor on stage
a puppet on a string
and director backstage
the dream loses its sting
we go through the motions
watching cause and effects
surfing the vast oceans
doing as God directs
I wake and look out of the window,
The damp, grey mist reflecting my mood.
I wash, I dress, I go through the motions,
Then I walk, head down, to meet my fate.
My chest heavy with fear.
My heart thumping.
The fog is lifting and the sun is breaking through.
I lift my head and my fate is sealed.
She is there. And she is smiling.
attention fixated
in bliss magnetism
we tend to neglect
diktats of destiny
it’s not laziness
but a shift in focus
wherein nonchalance
renews soul’s vibrancy
boundaries blur
space and time dissolve
we sometimes resurface
to see what’s going on
life is but a play
yet if so called upon to act
we do go through the motions
playing the game with zeal
Put the coffee on
clear your head
make some breakfast
get out of bed
walk to the kitchen
begin the day
just get moving
and you will be on your way
go through the motions
as the time slowly passes
do the dishes
clean your glasses
go down the hall
wash your face
brush your teeth
go at your own pace
go through the day
and just remember
where there is a will
theres a way
we are asked to prepare
for a meeting of importance
whose outcome may alter our future
we go through the motions
with vigour but in nonchalance
for we’re but actors playing our role
as both the dreamer and the dreamed
what is played out in linear time
has already been impulsed
in the ethereal domain
there then thus
is nothing to do
much less worry
enjoy!

Every day
I go through the motions
as best as I can,
but, the days are still too long.
Every night
I go to bed with notions
that sleep will be easy,
but, the nights are too short.
Every time
I invent some options,
they prove once again they can never
replace you and your love.
Every knight
on land and in the oceans
has his one true lady
for whom there is no replacement...
...for this humble knight, that lady is You.
I often struggle to make peace
with nagging relapses that,
like endless tides, come
then I need to chase away.
Intrusive rekindlings of loss,
of wanting to resurrect the past,
each time needing to go through the motions
of convincing myself it's pointless.
Confined, trapped, buckled in,
I ride this live rollercoaster
that leaves me feeling disillusioned,
frustration having a bitter rancid taste.

I hate you for what you've done to me
You have no clue but others see
You hurt me way down to my soul
My spirit is broken, I'm no longer whole
I go through the motions day after day
This is my life since you walked away
You never looked back you just moved on
One day you were here and the next you were gone
You caught me totally by surprise
You had nothing to say, not even good-bye
You've come between me and my family
I hate you for what you've done to me
Form:
I miss you
But I always do
I still wish
I could Hear you voice
My heartaches
Its dad's day again
I go through the motions
Wishing I had a choice
Comfort never comes
Even though I know
You are home
Where you belong
I hold my breathe
And close my eyes
Praying God
Will make me strong
There so much
I need to say
I go to your grave
For the pain to go away
Another long talk
If I'm quit I can hear
Your voice finally say
Everthing will be okay
Form:
I talked to your daddy today,
he said felt he’d lost his way.
He said no one except me knew how he felt.
Through tears he said,
I know we got to go on but it’s so hard.
I whispered I know, I couldn’t said it better myself
I miss you so much - more than words can say
You’re on my mind and in my heart every day.
I go through the motions of life,
but I don’t know which way to go.
Where do I turn? You are gone,
I feel lost and alone!
You are gone.
I feel lost and alone.
