Happy, we were together.
Euphoric, we were feeling together.
By the lake on the mountain,
Hands we held together.
We were sudden friends
When our roads decided to melt.
Living to love, nothing could tear us;
As so we thought.
When sudden affliction stroke her blessing heart,
my soul died one piece at a time as she traveled the hell road
When she was gone and my reason gone with her,
the desperation was queen and soul, and all.
So if I dream that I have her, I have her
My heart feels shining rapture
Blended with her kindness and my sorrow,
May I grow stronger by the blithe song
she left me to sing alone.
Now as a hopeless paint splasher I dance
under the ship of night
in her mind’s worth
with a grievous feelings of her oblivion.
My son and I one early morning walked on the beach.
The sun was just starting to shine as the seagulls awoke.
Thier cry's like alarms revealing a new day.
As we walked my son said:"Dad what's that on the sand?"
He ran ahead as the water splasher with his steps.
When I caught up to him he was staring down at a sandal in the sand.
With a suprised look he said:"Dad look God lost one of his shoes."
I smiled at this innocent statement from my little boy.
But he looked at me with a serious frown:"Dad what should we do?'
"God only has one shoe!" On my knee I looked at him and said:
"I know just what to do!" We'll leave it here and when he walks
back he will find it on the sand." So we left the shoe there on the sand.
Returning that afternoon to my son's surprise the shoe had disappered.
But I knew the tide had come in to take it out to sea.
Or could it be that God walked back and is smiling down on me.
