This languid sea,
Shiny and flowing
does not smile
back at me

For in your eyes,
lucid and glowing
I do not see
The love
That used to be

How can I look anymore?

With each cascading wave
comes a hope
I cannot save

And my dreams
wash away
on the shore
Couldn't I then love you
So much more?

Ashes,
they fall
to the floor
just like the ashes
of my life before

And slowly,
the lonely day passes
I pay it no mind
my mind is lowly
from time to time

Takes much more
to accept what is blue
more than just wishing
I was with you
more than just dreaming,
should dreams
ever come true

So, as with time
the toll that is taken
will help me awaken
to what I must do

Every little bit
will help you get by

Every bit of love,
All of the work
each moment of play

It'll all fly
get's you above
gives you that smirk

Find yourself high
thoughout the day

I wouldn't want it
any other way

Save to be with you
in this gentle eclipse
an equinox tidalwave
caught in a kiss

A moment in passing
gives up,
once it's there

It longs for the time
that it could'nt share
and hangs in the past
too worn for wear

Why do I care?

If at the end,
I could be.

I'd be with you
and you with me.

Some say, "it's strange"
I know it's true

Some say hold on,
I hold onto you

After the tears
and heart-broken pains,
still In the end
the question remains,
"what shall I do"?

The greatest need I've come to know
It doesn't always show
Is the need to walk with Him and grow

Breaking bread in your home
With a love of your own
All are needs
We all have known

Greater,none than this I say,
is the need to walk with Him
and grow each day

Hear me out, if foe or friend,
The life and love that does not end
Cost more than one could ever spend

The victory He gave us
Is the life He gave to save us
This friend we have in Jesus

So,lose your life
And then you'll find it
Walk with Him and grow

He will show you things you did not know

Late at night while passing by
I did not stop to ask you why
I didn't run, afraid to cry
I saw the moon
Through a cloudy sky
I stared into midnights
Boldest eye

Peering through it's misty shroud
seeping rays in passing cloud
This Orb did speak to me
and summoned forth
From deep within
Where once there was a heart
A rainbow's end, for me to see
A Dream that must Be
A love that does not part

I saw the moon....
.......I didn't see you.

In the meantime i resolved
that love sustained
but did not solve

It did not ask for any more
than was held within its hope
to ever honor and adore
a heart that doesn't
Lock the door
for now And evermore


to find itself awakened
After dreaming of the dawn
Where darkness and shadow hasten

and dew drops glisten
in blissful sunlight
Revealing Hope and promise
without end in sight

Suspect of it's own demise
love cry's in its final throw
Unrehearsed and unaware
Crushed beyond it's own repair

....Nonetheless awakens

Every tear is a soul
that, were they caught in a bowl,
would weigh in among all of the worlds
most precious diamonds and stones

Each one a story that cannot be told
full of one's sentiments
and worth more than gold

I should have been there to collect and recover,
a treasure that was meant for each other

Every drop that I missed
like all the moments we've kissed
Would soon be followed by another
and another

The tears that I caused you
should be far behind you
yet in me they will always flow on

no wish to hurt and never desert
The one that I long to make smile

Your soul wells within me
Every drop of it
