I look into the mirror wondering where the time has gone
I see only a shell of myself, It really hadn’t been that long Just tired bones and achy feet that barely shuffle around
The years have been mighty rough on the top side of the ground
But I have memories of faded years, filled with many a scheme
Don’t tell me even as broke down as I am, that I’m too old to dream
Why, I’ve had a life of dreams that I managed to bring into the fold
More adventures and pleasures and the memories are untold
One experience after another that years can never erase
And many tried to defeat me, more than I care to face
The thief of time has stolen my days, like a river erodes the land
It has worn down my hopes and torn away my plans
My body has forsaken me so, on the past I must lean
Though the snares of life block my way
Am I too old to dream?

I'm having a grand day
Things are going my way
The sun is shining
Don't hear any whining
And only have good things to say
I'm on the top side if the grass
Not feeling harrassed
I'm in a good place
No frowns on my face
Praying this bliss will last
I stop to remember God today
For this grand day
I also ask for you
To have a grand day too
Thank you God I pray
Come back, come back
What I have not found
Set the hook I'm top side bound
Just gives a little tension
Then a little slack
Oh come back, come back
It's still hiding
Just can not see
Leaving this place
You keep calling
Just filling me
More waters deep
Come back, come back
What has not been seen
Set the hook pull it back again
Come back, come back
It's just life friend
Just gonna wade this one away
Set the hook then pull til decay
Drown in my own waves
Just stay til that day
I set the hook.... then pull back
Just come back, come back
That smile today
The one I have not found
Pale grays for days and days
Just come back, come back
What has not been found
Set the hook and I pull back
Come back, come back
What has not been found
Set the hook I'm top side bound.

The love that I felt as she went down, down deep in my soul lying with her top side on the sheets for a low she sucked me dry mentally she the biggest leech that I know she saw that I was empty inside but got depression on mind that got me half stepping and misplacing my time she took her hand and she placed it on mine rolled over on top of a cold body that's mine and stared deep in them eyes built up tears that she wept became mine closed her eyes and opened up one more time we had nothing say cause it was her and herself all that sadness she felt a dead friend and a call which translated 9-1-1 a call for some help.... to be continued
Without dreams we are empty hulls,
shells of humanity, the stripping away of the body
to live our reality.
Seeing ourselves from the top side of a magnifier,
picking up the specimen, squeezing its girth,
turning it over, seeing what happens
when you throw it against a brick wall,
what it’s really worth.
Nobody wants to see who they really are,
but we can’t lock ourselves in,
cannot change the channel and watch, mindless shows.
The day we discover the remote control, for our dreams
is the day of never-ending screams.
I missed the autumn leaves this year.
I rested while they fell.
Tomorrow is another day
we'll hear the church's bell.
The days seem slightly shorter.
The sunshine rather keen.
Closer is the horizon
and night a cooler scene.
The smell of leaves surrounds me.
A wiff after a woft.
The wind shaping the future.
My fate become aloft.
Plastic drapes the gardens.
It's cold air sealed in.
Condensation top-side
and dust where sun has been.
There's trimmings by the roadside
bagged and tied with twine.
Pruned to end the season.
Clippings from the vine.
A garden hose gone missing.
Stored inside the shed.
Drained of all it's water
and exhausted in it's bed.
The dew upon the grass blades
beckoning the sun.
Each morning leaving sooner
as Autumn comes undone.
You masochistic silly girl.
Why give this dumb idea a whirl?
You must be sick with human pride.
To see how others feel inside.
It serves you right if you just cried.
Oh you sweet and wonderful girl.
Your love for Jesus makes my heart swirl.
May your love to us always abide.
Don't worry about what I said top side.
Rest asured, I truly lied.
