Matters To Be Seen

Into the moonlight, of waft pearl blue.
Flash of a firefly, glistening dew.
Horizon converses, in silhouette say.
The silent explosion, of night into day.
Into the meadow, of graceful grand.
Deep in aromas, that froth from the land.
Sunbeams mesmerise, clouds in array.
Countless the colors, that everywhere lay.
Into the wonder, that hides 'neath your smile.
How ever and ever, your scholarly style.
A touch of your hand, a taste of your skin.
The ways of your magic, again and again.

Life and Death

A raindrop on a fallen leaf.
Oh, Life & Death. Oh, Life & Death.
A tear upon the face of grief.
Oh, Life & Death. Oh, Life & Death.
You'd think by now,
I'd understand,
My way about this Wonderland,
Instead my brow
Rests in my hands.
Oh, Life & Death. Oh, Life & Death.

The Chair

The empty chair,
Still sits there, 
Though many days have gone,
Since grandpa sat,
Upon its slats,
And smelled the new moon lawn.

Appreciation

Sunshine. You're all the world to me.
You're so fine. Without you I'd not be.
Like wine, and kisses over me, you're mine.
Moonshine. I think a lot on you.
I'm so high. From everything you do.
Come here, and tell me stories of the night.
BRIDGE: 
Everybody's looking for something.
But mostly all they get is the blues.
Well, I've got something to depend on.
Something I can never lose.

Starlight. I'll bet you're blinking just to,
Delight, the time from dusk to dawn.
If so, I take my hat off to the show.

Everybody's looking for somthing.
But if you want to keep away the blues.
Try and find some deep appreciation.
For the Sun. For the Moon. For the Stars.
For the Seas. For the Life.
You'll never lose.
