Goodbye
Just about a year ago
Maybe it was a day ago
I don’t know
But somewhere in between
You said goodbye
But that's a lie
Because it was never really good
Funny thing is
There’s something about the closure
That makes me feel a little closer
To you, who knew
But Maybe we should have tried
To have made it a real goodbye
But now it’s over
And now we're closer
Than we’ve ever been
It just took the end
To figure us out
To get to starting over
Stopping to get started
Like a wind-up toy
Waiting to be...
Maybe it was a day ago
I don’t know
But somewhere in between
You said goodbye
But that's a lie
Because it was never really good
Funny thing is
There’s something about the closure
That makes me feel a little closer
To you, who knew
But Maybe we should have tried
To have made it a real goodbye
But now it’s over
And now we're closer
Than we’ve ever been
It just took the end
To figure us out
To get to starting over
Stopping to get started
Like a wind-up toy
Waiting to be...

Long Gone Song
Then came the long lost song
Sleeping through winters long lost gone
With falling notes onto fallen leaves
A melody that hid in the colors of spring
Never faded by the moon or its shades
Or the shadows of stages where it once played
And all it took was for one note to rest
On a heavy heart on a heavy chest
To remember all that I did wrong
And then came the long lost song
To memories that sing only for you
To a damn song that I can’t undo
Sleeping through winters long lost gone
With falling notes onto fallen leaves
A melody that hid in the colors of spring
Never faded by the moon or its shades
Or the shadows of stages where it once played
And all it took was for one note to rest
On a heavy heart on a heavy chest
To remember all that I did wrong
And then came the long lost song
To memories that sing only for you
To a damn song that I can’t undo

Bill Moore
Fingertips drawn to dust
Hands stained by the blood of rocks
With his gentle brush
And strokes that changed
To the sun’s mood
Just colorless orphans
Of forgotten earth
Until he came
With all the colors of grace
Alive in the death of the desert
With a soul ordained
For the artist
For the painter
For the priest
Hands stained by the blood of rocks
With his gentle brush
And strokes that changed
To the sun’s mood
Just colorless orphans
Of forgotten earth
Until he came
With all the colors of grace
Alive in the death of the desert
With a soul ordained
For the artist
For the painter
For the priest

Corner Pocket
Corner pocket of the eye
That’s where he keeps it
undertones, unturned stones
Leave it alones
Right there it sits
Just lapping around
Pools of potholes, ridicules,
Truths untold
Baked into the batter of crows feet
Too much salt not enough sugar
But it don’t matter
He won’t speak
About what he keeps
In the corner pocket of his eyes
That’s where he keeps it
undertones, unturned stones
Leave it alones
Right there it sits
Just lapping around
Pools of potholes, ridicules,
Truths untold
Baked into the batter of crows feet
Too much salt not enough sugar
But it don’t matter
He won’t speak
About what he keeps
In the corner pocket of his eyes

I'll Be Gone
I’ll be gone
When God becomes a myth
From talking heads
And their lips of sticks
Who spit splinters into eyes
Of Summer’s hope and Winter’s blind
But not I, I will be gone
Beware of the craftsman
Who mills words into art
Dusting up clouds of noise
To storm within the heart
For no reason, or nothing to give
Than just to make God another myth
But not I, I will be gone
When God becomes a myth
From talking heads
And their lips of sticks
Who spit splinters into eyes
Of Summer’s hope and Winter’s blind
But not I, I will be gone
Beware of the craftsman
Who mills words into art
Dusting up clouds of noise
To storm within the heart
For no reason, or nothing to give
Than just to make God another myth
But not I, I will be gone

Knocking Words
Words gentle knock on the mind’s tide
Pushing new salt on old wounds
Currents that crash into the past
In the rhythm of a serenity prayer
Never fully free or forgiven
The tide breaks hard on old shells
Making small splinters of yourself
Always present, ready to cut, ready to hurt
The words within the tide’s knock
Drag you beyond the horizon
Or seat you safely on the shore
To watch the sunset into your past
The tide faithfully comes regardless
Always knocking on the shores of your mind
Pushing new salt on old wounds
Currents that crash into the past
In the rhythm of a serenity prayer
Never fully free or forgiven
The tide breaks hard on old shells
Making small splinters of yourself
Always present, ready to cut, ready to hurt
The words within the tide’s knock
Drag you beyond the horizon
Or seat you safely on the shore
To watch the sunset into your past
The tide faithfully comes regardless
Always knocking on the shores of your mind

Tellin' Season
The breeze was dropping secrets
with every falling leaf
Until the trees stood naked
There’s no tellin’ the words he’ll speak
Why the hell he have to wait so long
To kick up dust at the end of day
I always knew the storm was coming
But why did it have to come today
Here comes the Tellin' Season
Bout to find out the rhyme and reason
For all the things he did and didn’t do
Inside the Telling season
The weather of his words- gets you believing
That he did it all for you
That ain’t true
But he gets it off his chest...
with every falling leaf
Until the trees stood naked
There’s no tellin’ the words he’ll speak
Why the hell he have to wait so long
To kick up dust at the end of day
I always knew the storm was coming
But why did it have to come today
Here comes the Tellin' Season
Bout to find out the rhyme and reason
For all the things he did and didn’t do
Inside the Telling season
The weather of his words- gets you believing
That he did it all for you
That ain’t true
But he gets it off his chest...

Near the End
I fear the end is near
Saying goodbye to an old friend
Let go
Running backwards unwind time
Tomorrows I can’t find
Don’t go
There’ll be better days
What else can you say
He knows
Caught inside a lie
Everything must die
He goes
Will you take me with you?
With the memories that we made
When I start to vanish
And when I start to fade
Can you hear I love you?
I fear the end has come
In the silence I am numb
Goodbye
I tried to pray away
The coming of this day ...
Saying goodbye to an old friend
Let go
Running backwards unwind time
Tomorrows I can’t find
Don’t go
There’ll be better days
What else can you say
He knows
Caught inside a lie
Everything must die
He goes
Will you take me with you?
With the memories that we made
When I start to vanish
And when I start to fade
Can you hear I love you?
I fear the end has come
In the silence I am numb
Goodbye
I tried to pray away
The coming of this day ...

Lost Words
Will you come walk with me
To help me find lost words
That lie under fallen leaves
Where dead poets are heard
Maybe in shadows
They’ve left behind
Are silent clues for us to find
That will free them from their hurt
Or just let them lie
Out of sight
under a wild rose
In the darkest beauty of light
Undisturbed to where the lost word goes
To help me find lost words
That lie under fallen leaves
Where dead poets are heard
Maybe in shadows
They’ve left behind
Are silent clues for us to find
That will free them from their hurt
Or just let them lie
Out of sight
under a wild rose
In the darkest beauty of light
Undisturbed to where the lost word goes

Lost
I trace the map
Inside my head
Trying not to drown
In the bends and breaks
Within my blood
Only to crash
onto the floor
Where my eyes
Sit like anchors
Stranded and lost
Inside silent storms
That came and went
On sunny days
Without clouds
Without notice
Lost to myself
Lost to Winter’s chill
Numb and lost
Looking for me
Inside my head
Trying not to drown
In the bends and breaks
Within my blood
Only to crash
onto the floor
Where my eyes
Sit like anchors
Stranded and lost
Inside silent storms
That came and went
On sunny days
Without clouds
Without notice
Lost to myself
Lost to Winter’s chill
Numb and lost
Looking for me

Bend Knee
Bend your knee to King and God
Bend your pride with contradictions
Pass the plate to pay your tax
Free yourself from false afflictions
Don’t look down, you might catch the eye
Of your son who’s looking up
He saw your pride go in the plate
Such a lesson for a pup
Do as I do, Forget what I say
It’s just best to play along
God will forgive me, the king won’t kill me
Until the money is gone
Bend your pride with contradictions
Pass the plate to pay your tax
Free yourself from false afflictions
Don’t look down, you might catch the eye
Of your son who’s looking up
He saw your pride go in the plate
Such a lesson for a pup
Do as I do, Forget what I say
It’s just best to play along
God will forgive me, the king won’t kill me
Until the money is gone

Phone Books
I’m traveling far away
Where there are still phone books?
To look up names of strangers
Who don’t know me
But will like my looks
Maybe, I will go by ship
Wear a suit when I’m on deck
People will find me interesting
At least for a moment
Before the ship wrecks
But, I am always back before I leave
Traveling in full circles
At the speed of doubt
And sound of silent shouts
How far to new beginnings?
To first impressions
Without confessions
I miss the eyes of strangers
And traveling through old phone...
Where there are still phone books?
To look up names of strangers
Who don’t know me
But will like my looks
Maybe, I will go by ship
Wear a suit when I’m on deck
People will find me interesting
At least for a moment
Before the ship wrecks
But, I am always back before I leave
Traveling in full circles
At the speed of doubt
And sound of silent shouts
How far to new beginnings?
To first impressions
Without confessions
I miss the eyes of strangers
And traveling through old phone...
