I hoped to be with you today
That once again we two might play
True friends forever we will stay
One thing that will not go away
...

Once in a grassy glade stood tree so proud
The grass grew tall beside the mighty tree
With every passing breeze the grass there bowed
But tree stood tall and firm as it could be
...

Soft seas beheld the ebb of evening’s dance
Arousing waves upon a satin shore
Resounding reassurances for more
Soft seas awaiting soulful lover’s glance
...

I wander through my memory
The endless trail of what might be
To find a tale of once was me
And things I could or wouldn’t see
...

Come in sit down relieve your soul awhile
And let me help bring peace back to your mind
I’m sure for you there is an extra smile
My heart as always trying to be kind
...

When problems seem so far away
And worries appear under bay
And night draws its shadow on day
But listen I’ve something to say
...

Inside her garden door
Where wishes by the score
Enough to make hearts soar
And to this end he swore
...

Oh dark dark night what dreams do you ignite
And set them roaming passed my will to see
So freely they set off to torment me
There in my darkest hour they delight
...

While watching man jog to his friend
A frog croaked a future portend
Man finished his jog
By sitting on log
...

Was there aside a weeping willow tree
Which graced a field of flowers fraught with dew
Amid the dawn the bitter night now through
A maiden rests where straying eyes can’t see
...

Those church bells welcomed her into this world
And there she was her mother at her side
With holy waters into life was hurled
This angel proved to be her father’s pride
...

When morning came Michelle was gone
Another wish had kissed the dawn
Yet as we dreamed what worlds were drawn
Enough to build lost lifetimes on
...

Low strangers yet we feel this long lost thrill
Of seeing someone from forgotten past
Viewed with eyes that somehow love you still
Eternity has brought us back at last
...

How did it start he didn’t know
But what this was won’t let him go
He prays for death so this will end
What was the wound which he must sew
...

Listen
Listen
Listen
...

So sure of love and all that it can be
This kiss to celebrate the moment met
That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree
...

There he sits neither brazen nor too shy
The boy who sits and smiles at the sky
He is not moved as those who pass him by
He sits and smiles his head up to the sky
...

My son there are fields you may stray
With flowers to take hearts away
Where you can be happy all day
But listen to words I now say
...

Let’s paint our tales of that was that
In vibrant colors from our hat
The wonders of the once was you
Is now the subject of their chat
...

Tide
Collide
With the shore
As feelings roar
...
