Old is New Again

Turning over an old leaf

that was once new.

Miss all the veins of thought

I discovered in you.

Feel it's time to bring you back

to reinstate your purpose.

Once we worked quite well together.

Oh the storms we two have weathered.

How I need your strength again

to face the challenges within.

I am here

I am here

Trials and Tribulations

I've had to subside

Throughout this journey

no way to coast or to glide

There have been moments

my hands have been tied 

but through it all

I have faced it with pride.

I am here

Doubts and longings

have filled up my mind

All of these burdens

I must leave behind

Following a path of

my own design

I know that my world

cannot be confined

I am here

Crazy but not dumb

I am here

my feelings aren't numb

I am here

My path is not clear

but I can honestly say 

without fear

I am here

We Believe

We experience every day
but not every moment
We believe we are doing
what must be done.

If you have at least one
item crossed off of your list
does that count as an accomplishment?


We experience every day
but not every moment
We believe we are doing
what must be done.

Nose to the grindstone
blinders in place
try to keep pace
in the daily race.

Take note not to lose
sight of why you are here.
Figure out your purpose
try to make it clear.


We experience every day
but not every moment
We believe we are doing
what must be done.

Are we all made here?
It's a distinct possibility.
We so often create
limited realities.

Take stock of what you think you know.
Take hold of where you  want to go
Do what you have to
Be who you need to be
Believe you are doing but do what you believe

Beacon in the Night

It's as if a beacon in the night
calls them forth.
Seek her out now
for all it is right in her world.

How do they know to try?
For months I've left you
in she shadows of my mind
but your current happiness was a sign.

Remember ME?
Pay attention over here.
You can't have moved forward
I won't be ignored.

Too let my friends
too late are you
For as I shall inform you
Yes, onward and upward I move.

Seek her out now
for all is right in her world
Remember me?
Yes, and that gives me the strength
to stay on this course.

Chaos for 18 Points

I'll take chaos for 18 points
It seems to be a game
Everything running smoothly
but then it all will change

Interrupted by reality
confused by the facts
trying a different personality
just to see who will react


I'll take chaos for 18 points
It seems to be a game
Everything running smoothly
but then it all will change

The merry merry month of May
gives way to June gloom
Should be floating fast and free
instead of stranded on the moon



I'll take chaos for 18 points
It seems to be a game
Everything running smoothly
but then it all will change

That's life is what Frank Sinatra would say
I will have to agree
constant chaos challenges me
But there's nowhere else I'd rather be.
