Greatest Journey
His eyes open, he is on his knees. His eyes opened like no other time in the past 4 years. The difference between this and every other time he opened his eyes was he could see. He could finally see the courage to do what was right. He blinks the slowest blink, sweat drips. Eyes closed he hopes it will bring further clarity and validity about his feelings. He stalls, thinking, tears drop from his cheek. He stands. His eyes open, his head down to reveal the bathroom sink. His hands on each side reach down; pale and dripping with sweat grip the sides of the sink with frustration, confusion and...

What Christmas has become
To the sea, to the sea
Falling into place the masses conform
Following one another in perfect form
The horizon forms guiding
Where to be, where to be
Greedy winds fill the masts
To the south, to the south
Hollow thoughts troubled to find their own way
Captain's wheel set to course
North says the clouds of a commanding horizon
It steals away
Not time for the right
Set minds ignore the message told by the hearts of the wise
They fall into place
To the sea, to the sea
Rushing past weary vessels unseen treasures
Beautiful minds...

Thanks for sending money over seas, Mr. President,
It may seems as though cheap, partly stale donated bread would be sought out by the finest epicurean due to the sweet moldy aroma akin to a fresh finely aged Roquefort and pre-crouton texture of the masterfully aged generic white bread 5 days past saleable date. The starving would like to thank you for considering the needs of other countries. Without such actions they may have to lower themselves to fresh food, and give away their secret of the delicacies of pudding like texture of vegetables those of us with money erroneously believe should be thrown away, the way few may enjoy a ripe...

Dances with the wind
The wind dances with her soul
Grace and beauty told ten fold
Her angelic aria suggests life’s bliss
Buried lament of life’s sequence
Conceals inner battle to retreat
Cessation of her beautiful cadence
Would be stolen joy that the world needs
The veil of remedy although tattered is made
Concealment to prove she struggles without vain
The frayed veil gives secrets through tattered holes
For the one’s she loves and loves her back
Sees through the lace as she leads on bold
We will be here to hold her hand
Until once again she dances with the...

Harder to say no
It’s getting harder to talk myself out of it
It’s getting harder to say no
Life is full of pain that I am supposed to just let go
No one really understands my pain
Although many claim to sympathize
I am the only one who knows
The horrors in which I lie
Will anyone ever know is not a question I pursue
I believe unless I can continue to say no
No one will ever be the wise
It’s getting harder to say no
Life is full of pain that I am supposed to just let go
No one really understands my pain
Although many claim to sympathize
I am the only one who knows
The horrors in which I lie
Will anyone ever know is not a question I pursue
I believe unless I can continue to say no
No one will ever be the wise

Biggest Fan
I love you. I know the trials and tribulations you have been through; I know how the hard times have affected you. I know the fights within you that have been fought and won and lost how hard those were, how deeply you were affected by them, and how so very few really understand and that even less can comprehend the sights and experiences. I know you have been in the darkest places and have done so many things for which you are ashamed. But I still love you. I also know what a joy you are, and how the good times bring that out. I am here for you. Even when you wanted to give up, even when you...

Depression is war
Internal battle of wills
Souls want to be still

Who are true friends
Thankful for true friends
Also thankful for knowing who is on that other end
All friends will give you their oath
Although who means it, time will let us know
Will find out who pretends and give you a show
Some will always be there, give you a chance and weather your wears
Others will claim so but when the time comes
True colors will be seen, one’s true heart will give true interpretation
We all need support from time to time
Some more than others, that’s just part of life
But never the distance would matter nor the size of the favor
True friends...

Encroachment of Man
Encroachment of man
Slapping Mother Nature’s hand
Little fawn wanted nothing more than to eat
We needed a road so it couldn’t be
Unfortunate slaughter
There was no need
Ignorance, corruption, and deception
All part of the same family
Last name greed
Taking, not earning the right
Killing tree after tree after tree
Man takes what he wants not just what he needs
Without regard for any other being
When will it end?
When there is no more my friend
This is not the end
I’ll be part of the fight
Even with no end in sight

Old me New me
I have overcome addiction
There has been Meth, pot, and alcohol too
One day I said enough
It is my life, mine to ruin
I will not give the chemical the chance to prove it
Racism ran deep in my dark veins
I knew the difference between right or wrong
The chemicals coming made sure the care was gone
Thought they were friends of mine
Heh, I was wrong
Long before this I gave High School the finger
Always figured I could be no winner
Raised by a single parent daddy was gone
Mamma did what she could, rent paid and food on the table ...

Positivity
Positivity is the key
Many times the light is hard to see
Do not give up nor should you fret
Always know there is no give in
Realize there is no problem that cannot be solved
Consider it an opportunity to show you’re tall
With stand the winds full of sand
That are known for whittling down natures best stronger than any man
For they will come from every direction
Will be in the form of the worst afflictions
Keep your eyes forward
This is the best part
Today is the first day
You have a fresh start
You will overcome
For there is unseen...
