One silent night
One silent night
A world full of light
Warmth is shared
Everyone is full of care
Less blame
As they light the flame
The embers burn
We earn
To gift and give some a lift
That hold signs on the road
That are quietly alone
Chilled to the bone
One silent night
The world is full of light
I hold on tight
To that small flame
That holds less blame
A world full of light
Warmth is shared
Everyone is full of care
Less blame
As they light the flame
The embers burn
We earn
To gift and give some a lift
That hold signs on the road
That are quietly alone
Chilled to the bone
One silent night
The world is full of light
I hold on tight
To that small flame
That holds less blame

Left
In the sea
I leave
I leave behind the confusion
Of this delusion
The pearls I made
Shattered and fit
For billowing ocean floor
Applauding the memories I once found dead
I fold
Their story untold
But the sea hears everything
And pushed the writer to continue
The story is not all ruin
I leave
I leave behind the confusion
Of this delusion
The pearls I made
Shattered and fit
For billowing ocean floor
Applauding the memories I once found dead
I fold
Their story untold
But the sea hears everything
And pushed the writer to continue
The story is not all ruin

Mental Health
The tossing and turning at every sound
The rolling emotions the dream would bring
Every fiber of your being
Had picked up the broken pieces
All the spaces you were afraid to dwell
In your mind
All the lines you’ve heard over and over
Your thoughts that led you to dread
Right before bed
The closet you was afraid to open
Now a light is shown
You are not alone
Your inner demons,
made peace
It’s the least
You can do, for it is all brand new
You knew yourself little
And was not as...
The rolling emotions the dream would bring
Every fiber of your being
Had picked up the broken pieces
All the spaces you were afraid to dwell

The closet you was afraid to open
Now a light is shown
You are not alone

Forever be
I want to live
And breathe
For the air to be sweet
And the stars to gleam
For the sun to set
In the brightest rays of light
I want to watch it all
I want to fall
Just a little bit more
In love with you
To reside beside me
To forever be, you and me
What a fascinating thing
And breathe
For the air to be sweet
And the stars to gleam
For the sun to set
In the brightest rays of light
I want to watch it all
I want to fall
Just a little bit more
In love with you
To reside beside me
To forever be, you and me
What a fascinating thing

Until we meet again
I’ve gone through so much without you
So much things I wish I could tell
I’d talk about how I fell
How I got back up
And how I missed you like hell
Until we meet again
I’ll love you from this world
Until I meet you in the next
So much things I wish I could tell
I’d talk about how I fell
How I got back up
And how I missed you like hell
Until we meet again
I’ll love you from this world
Until I meet you in the next

My father’s grief
He wears a smile on his face
And works almost every day
He stays up late
Will often go outside to rake
The leaves out of the yard
I mentioned the missing tombstone
But all I get is a reply
That says next time
My father’s grief
Hides itself well
I often wish it would come out of its shell
If not sadness then at least shed a tear
So his health I won’t fear
My father’s grief is locked away in a shell
No one knows when it comes out
I wish it was loud
And works almost every day
He stays up late
Will often go outside to rake
The leaves out of the yard
I mentioned the missing tombstone
But all I get is a reply
That says next time
My father’s grief
Hides itself well
I often wish it would come out of its shell
If not sadness then at least shed a tear
So his health I won’t fear
My father’s grief is locked away in a shell
No one knows when it comes out
I wish it was loud

The walking miracle
A walking miracle you are
A hidden warrior
You’ve felt the battle scars on your skin
Your chosen ones left too soon
Maybe a few were kin
You put up a wall high enough
So no one can come in
Your walls are cracking
You find out you can still laugh
You smile and every once in a while
You turn your light back on
It’s amazing what your body can do
And what your heart feels
It’s radical
The walking miracle
You are
The warrior within you can now sleep in peace
The war was won
You can still go on
A hidden warrior
You’ve felt the battle scars on your skin
Your chosen ones left too soon
Maybe a few were kin
You put up a wall high enough
So no one can come in
Your walls are cracking
You find out you can still laugh
You smile and every once in a while
You turn your light back on
It’s amazing what your body can do
And what your heart feels
It’s radical
The walking miracle
You are
The warrior within you can now sleep in peace
The war was won
You can still go on

I forget why
Some days life passes by
I go about my day
And I don’t ask why
It has to be this way
I go about my day
And I don’t ask why
It has to be this way

Ocean Blue
The sound of the sea
I feel the breeze
It carries me
The scent of coconuts
And palm trees that stretch high
And then curve as if to sigh
In the breeze
My hair flows
I don’t have a use for bows
The waves in my hair
Are something new
My skin, a golden hue
I love the ocean blue
It reminds me of you
I feel the breeze
It carries me
The scent of coconuts
And palm trees that stretch high
And then curve as if to sigh
In the breeze
My hair flows
I don’t have a use for bows
The waves in my hair
Are something new
My skin, a golden hue
I love the ocean blue
It reminds me of you

Not a weakness
Confidence
It’s my best defense
I sometimes seem dense
But it’s part of my offense
I listen to your heart
I don’t know where to start
My shoes are untied
Sometimes I lie
And say I’m fine
When the reality is this
I picture
My literature
In books
Published and great
I’m sometimes late
I would rather be in a lake
Floating under water
Not worrying about the falter
The faults of others
Just the utter silence
I try to remember my confidence
Is my best defense
My love is not a...

Letting Go
Another person’s pain
Is the same as yours
Different torture
Each one shaping you
Into who
You’re meant to be
Somehow that is freeing
The feeling of letting go
When you ride that wave
And go with the flow
And know that you’re not on your own
You’ve made it out of the fire, the woods
And crossed seas you only ever dreamed
Of being able to do
Life’s obstacles that were meant to harm
Without any charm, or rhyme
You made it out alive
Stronger than ever before
So get off the floor
My friend,...
Is the same as yours
Different torture
Each one shaping you
Into who
You’re meant to be
Somehow that is freeing
The feeling of letting go
When you ride that wave
And go with the flow
And know that you’re not on your own
You’ve made it out of the fire, the woods
And crossed seas you only ever dreamed
Of being able to do
Life’s obstacles that were meant to harm
Without any charm, or rhyme
You made it out alive
Stronger than ever before
So get off the floor
My friend,...

Coffee of my dreams
Caramel thick and smooth
Whipped cream
Of my dream
Coffee turned vanilla
Chilled
With a dash of sprinkles
And maybe some hazel
I drink
Whipped cream
Of my dream
Coffee turned vanilla
Chilled
With a dash of sprinkles
And maybe some hazel
I drink
