Egg shells

No quiet time for us
Always a mighty rush
Running past our strength
A peace shattered and bent
Our serenity disappeared
When we voiced what we feared

The troubling voice

I cannot listen to the voice that sings
For all of the pain and longing it brings
As crazy as this notion seems
It's a light through darkness that constantly gleams
No other voice has such power
To make me crave and make me shudder
A part of my soul that broke away
Ages ago through the millennial fray
Together once in lives long past
Knowing that forever does not last
But feeling the pull nonetheless
Speak softly through my distress
So the melody now cannot flow
For every note is a bittersweet blow

Alone?

When silent wings beat, 

Through the swollen air

No other thought rebounds

Except for what's flying there

A highly suspect mass

Of origin unknown

Watching from afar

Wondering just what can be shown

We just walk around

Not knowing that above

A nameless watcher waits

With hearts not filled with love

Thanks

I've found that in my life
The sun will always shine
No matter that the days
Are filled with sour brine
Somewhere in the muck
That spark is burning through
Guiding me along
And helping me to renew

Sweet dreams ;)

Night time
Beddy-bye
Snuggle up
And dream of me

Changes

Chillin' - just where we ought to be

Knowin' - things have shifted very subtley

Changin' - not always something bad

Acceptin' - the future's tentatively glad

Away

We've come back to a familiar place
To get away from the infernal race
Kick back, unwind
And just renew
A time for rest
And nothing new

New shoots

Your roots look dry
But please don't cry
We'll fix you right up
With this watery cup
A mound of dirt
Certainly won't hurt
And by summer's end
You'll be my friend

Anew

A penchant for something cool
A yearning for something blue
A twist revealed by fate
Prodding you to heights anew

May maddness

It's tough to face reality
When it seems so far from home
A cold hard fact to slam your face
Showing how far youth can roam
But when the drama's over
And the tides have ebbed away
Can we get over this
And return to our month of May?
