The Song Of My Life
I have always heard that song
in the background of my living
sometimes played with excitement
chords like bullets flying every where
other times a mournful cello played
low and soothing if also rather sad
days when the sunlight would shine
and the sound of the song was love
nights when the shadows all fell upon me
the sound of the song was dismal, lonely
but yet I hear that song, as my life is not over
I only wish for that "one" to join in the jam
that one that I have yet to know, to find
adding her music Sweet, to my life's song
What Will Do It
what will stop you at that last minute, when life seems nothing but tragedy
when you are out there upon the ledge, toes over the edge, heart heavy
searching for the courage to fly outward and downward, so terrible a thing

my whispers going through to your aching soul, hurt, so tattered
step back, will you do it? what will do it?? allow me to do it
for I seek to keep you safe from all the harms in life
even those from your own self, for sometimes

forever to be ridiculed as useless waste
what if the scholars became more important
their thoughts more readily accepted by all
what if the music played on and on
allowing us to dance from the heart
what if, yes, what if, and then, why not ??
Weaving My Way
weaving my way along through the intricate fields of woe
where the petals of the dead flowers fall by the pathway
stumbling through the back field of a bad experience, hurt
tragedy in motion am I as I set one foot before the other
stepping, ever stepping as I weave my way along, dying
crying out in my own despair, hear me, see me, help me
for I am weaving my way through these fields of woe
alone and forever wishful for that guiding star above
to lift up my burdens, if only for a while, one by one
allowing me but moments of rest before the burdens
settle back upon my shoulders, heavy and silent
always there, always b
