Change

The leaves are turning red again

a chill is in the air

Another winter on the way

will make the branches bare...

All of nature changing now

preparing for the sleep

Our summer seemed to disapear

without a single peep...

Soon the sky will send us snow

we'll run outside to see

Then cuddle by the fireplace

enjoy the Christmas tree...

Moving On

Packing bags and moving on

it's time for me to go

A summary of what all we did

and memories now in tow...

Accomplished quite a bit this time

and made a few new friends

Even though I hate to leave

it's just the way it ends...

Tomorrow I'll be far away

new faces I will see

I'll try to do the best I can

and make you proud of me...

Ships In The Night

Oh wretched day my heart you pierced

I watched her walk away

We knew it was the last goodbye

the words so hard to say...

Once more the ships go separate ways

and thoughts race in my mind

I wonder if she feels the same

will love we ever find?

Dream

How does my heart create the dream

when I lay down to sleep

From where does my sweet lover come

in vain I try to keep

The Writer

Take your pen and paint for me

an image in my mind

A scene that I can look upon

a joy that I might find...

Cause my heart to smile again

bring back a memory

Stir the embers of a fire

that once burned bright in me...

Write of secrets no one knows

except for me alone

Things that I cannot express

of pleasures I have known...

More

The heartstrings tugging once again

I thought of you today

A memory stopped to say hello

decided it would stay...

All day long I've been detached

my friends say you ok?

I can't let go of how I feel

I'm struggling hard today...

A part of me says go ahead

be bold and risk it all

And yet another voice within 

"be careful you don't fall"..

The battle rages on and on

my mind and heart at war

I'm standing at the fork again

and this time, I want more...

Fighting Chance

Sometimes it really takes a while 

to see things as they are

Sometimes the dreams we hold on to

don't take us very far...

Sometimes we have to mute the voice

the pleadings of the heart

Sometimes to have a fighting chance

we need a brand new start...
