I walk within your shadow
among the dark hidden hallow of your love
Blindly I walk through the night looking for your light
I cannot see anymore
I lost my sight
To you my beloved across the shimmering sea I am nothing but, a hardened cold memory
Too many years
of bitter tears
we have shed
within an empty bed
The cold silent air drifting within our winter's lair has become the only thing left we have to share
Though we may welcome the
warmth of our fire and lustful
desires
They are but, distant dreams being washed away within
silver streams
It's been a grand journey and experience
as my mind and heart has been changed with your brilliance and radiance
Yet, today I come to embrace the darkness as I see your hand gently slip away
I am falling apart in disarray
there no more hands reaching to catch me as I watch my life pass like grains of sand through your hands
Though I played too many emotional games that drove you insane
I get what I deserve as justice
ordains
No more reason to complain
It's just a time to refrain
to let the healing begin
from the constant pain
One can only forgive just so much
there comes a time when one needs to put away the memories upon the hutch
It's time for new beginnings
and let the past slip away
to welcome a new day
A time for new loves and new thoughts to embrace and wipe away the tears from our face
In a uncertain world today there are many new possibilities
and responsibilities
To stand once again and spread our wings to allow hope be a new song we sing
Better days ahead and maybe better suited partners filling our beds.
Though it seems for some they may think their game is over
Its only a spring cleaning
of the old self when we shall stumble upon that 4 leaf clover
May the winds of change lift us to brighter horizons
I shall meet my beloved once again upon calmer seas and a comforting breeze.

So tender is Thy mercy
Where forgiveness
Triumphs over blame
And righteousness.
So tender is Thy mercy
That heals a bleeding
Heart once wounded
To Love again
So tender is Thy mercy
Where nothing can
Divide or Conquer
The quest for truth
So tender is Thy mercy
When our spirits
Delight in life
Are set free to love
So tender is Thy mercy
Where no chains
Can hold back
Our freedom to love
So tender is Thy love
When truth once more
Forms the bedrock
Of our freedom
So tender is Thy love
When forgiveness
Triumphs over blame
And righteousness

There’s a sadness in being, a sadness in seeing
Our creation decline,
Twas not your vision nor twas not mine,
But we will begin again as we have before,
And once again, hope for more.

I’m like this because of you, I’m like this because you
Never saw it through,
I’m like this because the Winter Sun never shone!
I’m like this because my flowers died and left me
Traumatised,
I’m like this because you were never here, to hold
Me close and quell my fear,
I’m like this because you stayed with me,
I’m like this because you never set me free,
I’m like this because when you were gone,
Along came another one,
Of simple design , gave me the time,
To be me………and now I see,
I’m totally like this because of me!

So, imagination IS creation, I imagined you, you imagined me and that is what we see,
Simple at first, but complex over eternity!, constant imagination creates complication,
And now, we find ourselves HERE, in constant fear, of life and new creation, we probably should start anew, new me, new you, NEW what we imagine is true.

Who decides?, who hides?, who becomes the leader?. Who becomes the feeder?
Who creates the fear?, Someone near?,
Who knew?, not me or you?, who knew?
Who knew that we'd be here?, who knew?, who shed a tear?
No one knew, this lasts for eternity, never ends, so lets be friends.

Tomorrow is the start of what we want to be,
tomorrow is the future, tomorrow is the key,
And all that life has shown me, and all I want
to see, is for tomorrow to make a difference,
and that tomorrow may make.................sense!

Sitting here waiting for the day,
the price I may pay,
Age old, not knowing how
this came be, I cannot see,
For once I was young, seems
like yesterday, where life went
I cannot say,
Life is gone in blink, before you
can think,
It's over and done, the final mile
makes me smile,
As I watch it begin, heaven and
hell, love and sin,
Everyone going nowhere, noone
to care,
Passing time in circles, running
through the gauntlet of life,
Imaginary worry, and Imaginary
strife,
And when it's over, we start
again, to play this game,
always the same,
trouble and strife in this
game of life.

The guarantee of non existance when it hits you between the eyes,
makes you realise, that the games we play in our so called lives,
well, it's all just lies.
Of course we will end, my friend, and when you know just where
you go, and when you see, the reality, that nothing matters nor ever
will, been that way, will be still.
Take today, take yesterday, take tomorrow, take the road you want
to follow, you will find it all ends the same, just never look, and never
blame, for you are you and still the same.
