Getting old!

I saw the stranger, he walked through my house,

I saw him stand and stare, like he knew I was there,

I watched him as he went on his way,

I watched him, like he was here to stay,

And I watched as he realised, that the mirror never lies.

To be or not to be, that is the question!

What do you think that keeps people here?
The inherent fear?

The wanting to go on?, keep singing their song?

In the face of adversity, who would you be?

Afraid to die?, afraid to live?,

With nothing to give, could you resist?

To end it all, would you be missed?

Is it brave to live through strife?

Continue on and live that life?

Or leave with grace, this empty place,

Tis a question only you can face.

Who cares?

And all that it is and all it could be, is a memory,
A dream that exists then ceases to be,

There is no beginning, there is no end, for tomorrow
you'll be my best friend,

Then we start again, lose that memory, think it's all
new and wonderfully free,

Creativity being, all new what we're seeing, still afraid
and unaware, not knowing it doesn't matter, no need
to care!

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow becomes today and yesterday fades away, so the present is how we exist, there's no other way, there's nothing to resist, we can't bring back the past, and the future is not meant to last, for it suddenly becomes the.............. past.

So, exist in harmony, for now we are free to.................be!

Are we i wonder?

Honesty and integrity are the ideal of what we should be, truthfulness and clarity are what we should see, are we a minus or a plus, we won't make a fuss, I think that minus may win the game, I don't know, are we all the same?

Youthful

When I talked to the young, they had no reply, except to say,
We are young, it's you that will die,
I tried to explain life does not work that way, its all fun and games,
until the day, the day that you pay,
And no one does know, from day to day, where life will lead us,
or when we will go,
Youthful thoughtlessness, can never be wrong, it's the same hymn sheet
that was our song,
We knew better, we knew it all, now, most of my friends are long gone!

Not alone!

And you found yourself within the crowd, woke up to see,
you were me, not left alone or left to be, a part of all, that's
you and me!

In constant motion

It seems to me we are not allowed to be constantly happy,

Just when times look good, everything worked out as it should,
suddenly the world, is clear as mud,

No reason for it that I can see, just how it seems it is meant to be,

Laugh today, cry tomorrow, happiness then sorrow,

A roller coaster of emotion, that's life, life in motion!

Unafraid!

Be not afraid, for tomorrow will be, this is not the end, not for you, not for me,
And if they close your eyes for you tonight, you have nothing to fear, you will still be here, in a new form, a shining light, an energy so bright, nothing can take away what you are, uniquely you, a shining star.

The truth will prevail!

The lies of today will fall on the shoulders of the young tomorrow, look back in sorrow, record for posterity, the truth, the reality of how this came to be and what we saw, and what we see, should never again come to be!
