Down Here Together

If there’s a better way to say something

I want to be the one who does

And if we’re searching for some grand masterpiece

I want to create it just because

And we are all down here together just trying to find our way

And if we seek it out together, we’re going to find a brighter day

Because the sun’s not far off, I see it

Let’s mold our feelings into clay

Let’s find another way of expressing these words, just too difficult to say

We’re all just trying to figure it out down here

Trying to make sense of what we cannot yet comprehend

We have to know that we’re part of all this together

We all need the love of a friend

So let’s build it out and up from here on out

Let’s architect a future brimming with hope

Let’s seize the moment like we’re really alive

We have one chance at this enigma, life

You in Me

I see you in the stories

In the words on the pages

I see you just like me

Other places through the ages

I see you as my tears

As they flow across different faces

I see you in the laughter

Through the jokes as it all changes

I see you through sad eyes

Remembering my heart and how it races

I see you from disappointment

The empty words carrying thoughts baseless

I see you in some distant place

Though I keep going through all the phases

And I see you drift from my scattered dreams

While we are headed in different places

I see you in that little wish tucked away behind my heart-

Unable to erase it

Be

I don’t want to hide
I just want to be
This heart set on fire
This wild, burning flame
An unstoppable force
A woman who is free
From all that was lost
And all there is to be

Me

What Stars are Made of

I saw this space where things were new
The walls glowed white, the brightest hue
The faintest smell
A growing light
An overwhelming feeling, that things would be alright
I saw them watching the sky in awe
The stars descended, I watched them fall
The light touched everything
Every single thing in sight
It all turned new, in the bright white light
The songs grew louder
The music of love
We received the gift, it descended from above
The stars have always been alight with love
Bursting forth to extinguish the night
With their bright white, burning, spinning, fantastic light

Somewhere in 2009

All the days

They weep and wane

None the same

No more the sane

Than those who blame

The blowing winds
