It Took Awhile
It took awhile but the while was worth it
I saw your smile
What a smile
Sometimes I wander and time floats away
Staring at candles aligning the flame
Sometimes I see things and wonder the truth
far fetched from meaning my soul tends to blue
Clouds darken skylights and windows turn grey
Breezes are whistling the tune seems so fake
Thundering raindrops smothering slime
Creeping and crawling cleansing my mind
It took awhile but the while was worth it
I see your eyes
How they shine
Light pushes fog from the mystical past
Shattered the falling glass tears at my heart
Somehow I see you and wonder the truth
Time stretching youthfulness forgoes me too
It took awhile but the while was worth it
I saw your smile
What a smile
It took awhile but the while was worth it
I see your eyes
How they shine.

Little Moments

Little Moments
take a breath hold it in perceive
a slow release soak up colour appreciate
tone contemplate shadows wonder
at texture enjoy the touch explore
for difference behold a rock trace
its edges imagine inside see
the sun rise hear bird song listen
in observe an audience within without feel
the energy cherish seasonal change rich autumnal leaves crunch
underfoot speak to passers-by wave a thank you acknowledge
existence step in water sand through toes smile
as ripples expand and bounce follow a path breathe
the air detect each scent relish a meal prepare
for another savour aroma the smell of cut grass taste
the wind watch a rainbow grow
and fade or double up celebrate childhood look
through younger eyes absorb innocence delve
solitude gaze at a navel close the eyes open
the mind grasp a thought

What I Am

What I Am.
Sometimes it gets so dark here
It’s not who I am.
So long I’ve looked for light here
Can’t believe I can.
Hey, take a deep breath.
Hold, then let it go.
Feel, as your heart beats,
Peace and let it grow.
Outside, a fear controls me
Pins me to the ground.
Heavy and cold, I crumble
Scattered all around.
Hey, take a deep breath.
Hold, then let it go.
Feel, as your heart beats,
Smile and let it grow.
Sometimes my name eludes me
It’s not what I am.
Sometimes a dream reminds me
It’s not what I am.
Hey, take a deep breath.
Hold, then let it go.
Feel, as your heart beats,
Love and let it grow.

Who Am I Today Tomorrow
Is it just a mirror or a reflection of my soul?
Feeling pixillated, my mind is in a hole.
Looking like an angel but the devil’s deep inside
Burning just to get out and take me for a ride.
Let it go…
Who am I today, tomorrow?
Everywhere I turn, the madness seems to grow.
Walking seems so easy - still I stub my toe.
Hanging like a scarecrow whenever I can stop
Seeing something different even though I know it’s not.
Let it go…
Who am I today, tomorrow?
Today is the day to forget the past.
Tomorrow, when it comes, never will last.
Today is the day to forget the past.
Tomorrow, when it comes…
We’ll have a blast.
Smashing through the mist, yeah the fog of time
Searching for a guru to clarify
Aching like I’m feeling at the end of the road.
Well, here I am - have you been told?
Let it go…
Who am I today, tomorrow?
Today is the day to forget the past.
Tomorrow, when it comes, never will last.
Today is the day to forget the past.
Tomorrow, when it comes…
We’ll have a blast.
Is it just a mirror or a reflection of my soul?
Feeling pixillated, my mind is in a hole.
Looking like an angel but the devil’s deep inside
Burning just to get out and take me for a ride.
Let it go…
Who am I today, tomorrow?
Let it go…
Who am I today, tomorrow?
Let it go…
Who am I today, tomorrow?
Let it go…
Who am I today, tomorrow?

Undercurrent (philosophical anecdotes)
“You can’t undo what hasn’t happened,” a wise man said to me.
“The same as you can’t change what has.”
The verdict. “Move on.”
“You see,” he added. “There are always two choices when facing a crisis.
Change the system (well, good luck with that!) or change the way you deal with it.
Now, that’s something you can do.”
“And, making excuses is pointless.
Making things happen, however, is absolutely momentous.”
“And, there’s always time for coffee!”
There’s always time for coffee.
You can’t undo what hasn’t happened.
Change the way you deal with it.
Make things happen.
Time for coffee, there’s always time for coffee.
Time for coffee.

Shadow Walking

Shadow Walking
Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides
no fear
Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides
Shielded from sunlight
skin stays so pale
frightened of footsteps
set up to fail
Stuck in a mirror
of this decay
looking for substance
taken away
Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides
Hide in a corner
back to the wall
squashed like a bean bag
flat on the floor
Claws out and ready
preened to let flay
any who enter
get in the way
Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides
Mindlessly working
daring to breathe
twisting and turning
hoping to leave
Dread turns to wonder
surprise at the truth
deadly or lively
where is the proof
Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides
Shadow walking
creeping crawling
behind your eyes
Shadow walking
whispered talking
darkness hides
no fear

Look Beyond The Day
It’s said, “remember eleven o’clock.”
Time standing still ’til we stop.
Dropping the head, honour the dead.
Remember the names forgot.
As days go by and years go past, we wonder what it was for.
Somewhere in the world, it seems, there’s always cause for war.
Oil, power, drugs, yeah!
Fears of terror – take care.
Look beyond the day…
Climate change is here now.
Same old story, somehow.
Look beyond the day…
Look beyond the day…
And yet, remember eleven o’clock.
Time moving on but we stop.
Look at the ground, utter the sound.
Remember lest we forgot.
And, all of us we have the chance to make a positive call.
A call to make the future right for those who follow us all.
Oil, power, drugs, yeah!
Fears of terror – take care.
Look beyond the day…
Climate change is here now.
Same old story, somehow.
Look beyond the day…
Look beyond the day…
As days go by and years go past, we wonder what it was for.
Somewhere in the world, it seems, there’s always cause for war.
And, all of us we have the chance to make a positive call.
A call to make the future right for those who follow us all.
And yet, remember eleven o’clock. (Look beyond the day…)
And yet, remember eleven o’clock. (Look beyond the day…)
And yet, remember eleven o’clock. (Look beyond the day…)
And yet, remember eleven o’clock. (Look beyond the day…)
