The sun is lifting
Heavy burdens off my mind
My thoughts are drifting
Back a moment in time
Where sands are sifting
Back and forth with the tide
I am still searching
Where clues of life abides
My heart is open
Maybe for the first time
And all that I’m hoping
Watching my shadow mime
Dreams that are coming
Trying and keeping up
Letting things go
So the weight will fade away
Drift with the wind so
Off my shoulders behind me
Then I will know
How wonderful is life
The flowering blossoms
Opens up like a prize
Something so awesome
Right before my eyes
And my mood softens
Glancing into blue skies

Zebra lines on the road
Is the safe way to cross it?
We belief in that rules and use it
Sometimes it is not safe
And make trouble us
It is the same rule in our life
That we believe in and use
But sometimes these make trouble.
And love is the zebra line in our life
It is safe but, care well about it.
Others may not cover us properly.
Many times we couldn’t get
A chance to think twice...

I know that I'm not
What you wanted of me
I wanted to heal
You want me to bleed
I wanted to feel
Watching you go
I needed to find
What you needed to know
And I was running on brainwaves
Trying to stay alive
But I couldn't stay away
Long enough to find
I want to be what your are
I want to see right through your heart
I want to feel just like you
I want to die then I want to kill you
I want you for always
Never again
I really mean that
When I can pretend
I practice faking
With nothing to show
I wanted to want to
But now I don't know
And I was running on brainwaves
Trying to stay alive
But I couldn't stay away
Long enough to find
I want to be what you are
I want to see right through your heart
I want to feel just like you
I want to die then I want to kill you
I want to see what you are
I want to be what's inside your heart
I want to kill just like you
I want to die so that I can feel you

I
Grace is the sustainer of all life on earth
Every impulse to breathe, since the moment of birth
All thought of goodness and the will to achieve
Grace is the Giver of all gifts we receive
II
Being on this journey, there is much to contend
The voice of the doubter, the life to expend
And when the shadows gather, around and behind
It is then I remember, I am in God’s mind.
III
There have been mountains that have hidden the sun
And all my grand efforts have never moved one
And in such turmoil, when there is not even a clue
It is then I remember God has made mountains too
IV
In the dark hours, not a spark to be seen
When there is no helper, not a single human being
And as the ground shakes, so my faith and my will
It is then I remember, Grace is my Hope still
V
I have been through the waters and fires that came
And in such life’s complex, weak is my frame
And sometimes I prayed but nothing has changed
It is then I remember, God’s Grace is arranged
VI
Death, that great enemy, knows where I live
It seized of my heart, those too precious to give
And when my doubts rise, and a question or two
It is then I remember, Grace has taken me through
VII
I do not have the answers to the storms and the cold
I do not know tomorrow and what tale may be told
And in that dark passage, many dangers may lurk
It is then I remember, Grace knows its own work
VIII
And when I am broken and the winds gust and gust
And all of my resources have crumbled to the dust
And this is the season of earth's pale demand
Even then I will remember; I am in God's hand.

Say friend, don't I know you ?
You've been, around here before.
But now, come to think of it
I can't place, just who you are.
But you sure seem so familar,
Say now, don't you know me ?
Yeah, friend I'm sure I know you,
So, tell me who could you be ?
Or, maybe you just remind me,
of this old pal of mine.
Someone, I have needed,
to have a talk with for sometime.
But he never really wants to hear,
what I've got to say.
So, he just tries to ignore me,
hoping, I'll soon go away.
And friend, I must tell you,
You're not looking so well.
Not, to put you down none,
But you're looking like hell.
See how your hands keep shaking,
while you're holding that glass.
Friend, you sure could use a shave,
Say when have you eaten last ?
Hey friend ! Can't you hear that bartender ?
Shouting it's closing time !
I'd like to hail us a cab,
But, you've spent our last dime.
You keep sitting here, just drinking.
Don't you care, about nothing else ?
Please friend won't you look at me... I'm talking.
Or can't you bear, to even... take a look at yourself ?

About this poem:
This poem/song just came together, after seeing a drunk, having a conversation with himself in a bar-room mirror. It truly made me sad, at the time. aware3

We were created to find eachother our favorite and down for us to love forever. Our hands lockin tight, as I look into the eyes.
Of that one special person who would complete my life.
You were the one I chose, out of all the rest.
The one who I would cherish, and I'm puttin on my best.
Just to stay in your arms, as you hold me tight.
Cause baby, bein with you just feels so right

Verse I
Gotta find me a woman,
Who knows how to treat a man.
Not just some barroom hook-up,
Or a desp'rate one night stand.
Chorus
Are you out there somewhere?
The one I'm lookin' for.
The one that will complete me,
The one I can adore.
Do you know the secret?
T'unlock this heart of mine.
So tired of being lonely.
And achin' all the time.
Verse II
Been lookin' for that someone,
With that style and grace and charm,
Not another pretty face,
Or some candy for my arm.
Verse III
I need someone who knows just how,
T' keep her man satisfied.
Someone to meet me atth' door,
With lovin' arms open wide.
Verse IV
A woman to wake up with,
For the day's first sleepy kiss.
A girl who's soft and tender,
Who can turn my life to bliss

Seems like Pain,
Pain is my only friend,
Yeah, Me and Pain are lonely old friends,
I said "Hello, How are you?, How you been?",
When Pain came and seen me again,
See She's a Pain I'm still caught up in,
A Pain I don't think ever ends,
Maybe Baby made a hole I can't mend,
When pain came to see me,
Earlier this evening,
Pain came and seen me again...

You swallow a year
And then you grow
Not very fast
And not too slow
You grow your teeth
You grow your feet
And then you become
A grown-up kid
The time flies forward
Or backward sometimes
At times too slow
Or way too fast
You wander through life
And one day recognize
How to stretch your shoulders
And spread your wings
And fly high into the sky
Into the bubble of happiness
