Calling Me

Hello my dear, I'm here again

I know it's been a while

I brought your favorite flowers Love

their scent would make you smile...

You've been asleep so very long

the saplings now are trees

Forty winters, and one more

tonight, it's supposed to freeze...

I sensed that you were calling me

was more than just a thought

A flood of distant memories

my heart reached out and caught...

For just a moment, maybe two

I felt that you were near

The heartstrings pulling like before

your voice, could almost hear...

In Dreams

I used to run and chase the wind

but now it laughs at me
The ones I loved have flown away

there faces soon I'll see...

My Note

It's all ok, I'm better now

the clouds have moved away

The sun is shining all around

some final words to say...

The chance of meeting you again

the odds are so remote

I'll toss this in an ocean wave 

and hope you'll find my note...

Once More

I made the journey once again

my hopes are dashed once more

Another year has come and gone

and winter's at the door...

Waver

Sometimes I waver in the storm

when fear and faith collide

Opposing forces deep within 

demand I chose a side...

The Wheel

Been running on the hamster wheel

from morning until night

Every day, the same old thing

and still no end in sight...

They say it's what you're supposed to do

in time you'll reach your dream

Then why the faster that I run

I only want to scream?...

I'm getting off the wheel today

and take another path

I'm going to live a different life

where I can smile and laugh...

Paths

I've never closed the door to you

sometimes you're in my dreams

Why didn't paths connect for us

when we were in our teens?...

Sweet Command

A subtle look and then a smile

a gesture in the hand

The little secret we both shared

our silent sweet command...

Tethered

I sense you watching from afar

your presence I can feel

We're tethered to each other still

these feelings very real...

One More Time

I wish that you would let me see

her face just one more time

So I can feel what I felt then

when I was in my prime...

Rebel

A rebel with a heart of gold

she never would be tamed

A woman from an early age

her passions often flamed...

Her life was like a flaming torch

was burning from the start

The fire that she lit in me

still burns within my heart
