Another Time


I feel I've known you all my life
a truth I can't dispel
Searching deep within myself
my spirit knows you well...

I sense a deep connection now
a bond that grows each day
Wondering what the future holds
and what will come our way...

I know that we have met before
somewhere just you and me
A moment in another time
when we were young and free..

I'm Here


Slumber comes for me once more
and takes me by the hand
Leading me to where you are
a beach with deep white sand...

A gentle breeze upon my face
a blast of ocean spray
A voice I haven't heard for years
"I'm here with you today"...

Aftermath


Sifting through the aftermath
the loneliness returned
Searching deep within my heart
where once a fire burned...

Questions come like ocean waves
they lash the tattered shore
Dreams of reaching paradise
don't matter any more...

I don't know how to deal with this
it all was once so clear
Am I supposed to just pretend
that you were never here?

Sweetest Dream


Awakened by the morning sun
the curtains pulled away
The sweetest dream I've had in years
and smiles to greet my day...

I dream't that I was back in school
my friends were all still there
The simple life we knew and loved
and not a single care...

Walking down the corridors
the ringing of the bell
The chair I sat in History
and Mrs. Jane Kanell...

Caroline was beautiful
I liked her very much
The day she checked the little box
my heart I felt her touch...

William never said alot
he put things on the shelf
Lisa always raised her hand
she couldn't help herself...

Recess was the great escape
a chance to stretch our wings
Every day our little group
would share so many things...

My oh my those were the days
how quickly time passed by 
And then one day we raised our hand 
and said our last goodbye...

Timing


Thinking about you
and what we could be
The timing's not right
for you and for me...

Searching


I'm searching for words
a poem that rhymes
A breeze that will blow
and sing through the chimes...

Loving You


Life in the fast lane
these feelings so strong
Playing my music
but can't sing a song...

Swimming in circles
while fighting the waves
All my best efforts
I'm lost in the haze...

Searching for answers
I haven't a clue
How do we get there?
I'm so loving you...
