It’s hard to always know in life

which way is best to go.

Following fads and trends

tends to be not,

from what I know.

But does that mean in everything

you go the other way?

I’ve tried that

and I’ll tell you what

at the end of the day -

if you live life against the grain

most times you will be right.

But if it’s all you ever do…

then you will miss t...

I took for granted everything,

colors of every hue.

I didn’t know those colors

filled my world because of you.

So, like the fool I am

I let you go, too blind to see

that on my own I am just alone

and things turned out to be

where colors slowly slipped away,

the yellows, greens and blues.

And now the only color left…

is the memory of you.

Two days until Christmas.

Two hours until light.

Too often you fill up

my dreams in the night.

Too tired to keep going.

Too weak to move on.

Two lovers divided…

in one love gone all wrong.

Each path we walk, it forges something,

a step within a stair.

A line part of a rhythmic pattern

and we’re unaware.

We’re so wrapped up in what’s before us,

like it’s all there is.

As back and forth we pace, uneasy.

I promise you this -

The time will come when you will see,

the scales will disappear.

In that moment look around you,

it will all be clear.

We can’t escape it, don’t know what to do.

People at each other, guess it’s overdue.

Yeah, we’ve read about it.

Is it here? I doubt it,

but I’m here to tell ya that it all is true.

Cuz the world’s falling fast into decay.

Makes me wanna stand up, shout to say -

I don’t really know man!

Where we gonna go man?

We can’t keep going on and on this way.

They make ...

Is it me? Is it real?
The feelings that I feel…
never seem to match 
the world around me.

What if I’m lost in time,
wrapped up in some sublime 
cosmic poet’s next attempt 
at melancholy?

I don’t ever feel at home,
most times would rather be alone. 
I’m broken, yeah I know
cuz I don’t change things. 

Maybe I’m just out of place,
running long in the wrong race,
or maybe I’m no go...

Inside I cry

behind steel eyes.

Against the wind

I feel that I

am all alone,

am all alone,

am all alone…

Goodbye

His love for her was strong but still,

a longing in his soul

took him to where he could be free,

but ocean’s take their toll.

He never did return

although she waited faithfully.

Day and night she sat there watching,

hoping she would see.

She prayed that his ship would return

but fate will have its way.

She waited til her time was spent,

until her hairs ...

The petal of a rose once fell

then drifted slowly through the trees.

Upon the wind it tumbled long

until it drifted up to me.

At first, I saw no value there

in just one petal all alone.

But then I stooped and picked it up

and found that it was still a rose.

I felt its velvet touch my skin,

as its aroma filled the air.

I breathed to take the fragrance in,

When you’ve had every chance and all resource in hand.

When you’ve been in good graces and known where you stand.

When you had God in Heaven reach down just to line it all up,

and you still found a way to fail. How could that be?

You look back in disbelief, regretfully

and feel like a failure, jinxed by a charm of bad luck.

Then you’re forced to ask yourself, “Should I ...

I’ll be here right beside you

in the darkness when you call.

I’ll be the one who makes sure

that the last leaf doesn’t fall.

I’ll be here watching over you

though all others are gone.

I’ll be here though you’ve lost the strength

and will to carry on.

I know that it’s your darkest hour.

I know it’s hard to see.

I know because one time I faced

a darkest h...

The question’s been posed – if a tree fell alone

would it make any sound as it fell?

If you think about it, there’s millions of things

that go on with no way we can tell.

The Saltgrass that waves in the ocean breeze,

when no one’s there, does it still sway?

The water that flows down a crystal stream,

when we’re gone does it go away?

It’s a paradox truly, there’s n...

I spent my whole life building.

I saw it all, yeah ups and downs.

Started from nothing, God knows I did it all,

and brought this empire from the ground.

For generations I have toiled to build,

each passing year my empire’s grown.

I barely slept, I had to see it done,

and claim this empire as my own.

And I was proud to stand and see it all,

it was a brilliant si...

Does it matter what you do

or matter what you say?

Does anything mean anything

when you live Groundhog Day?

Is there a way to please the Gods

so that they’ll let you go?

Or maybe there’s no point at all.

Perhaps it’s just a show.

But what else can you do

if you find you’re stuck in this scene.

You have to just keep going

and hope you will f...

I looked at her, her angel voice still playing in the sound room. 

She sat surrounded by the band, just like we always do. 

Her songs were mesmerizing, she had everything to make it,

and in that moment God gave me this truth -

“No matter what, the songs we make are greater than the artists”.

The words came out as if it wasn’t me. 

Then she and I met eye to eye, we knew the t...

“Do unto others”, the Savior once said,

a golden rule given to sum it all up.

But we seem to want something complex instead,

like it is too simple or it’s not enough.

But nothing more’s needed and that’s just a fact,

that if we all lived by a new day would dawn

where we’d live in harmony with peace intact,

for so many ills would forever be gone.

But we are too b...

I walk this walk in winter’s fog

along the path to fill each day.

Each stranger I see barely nods,

they pass by without aught to say. 

Against the cold I wrap my coat

while trying to ignore the sting

and thoughts of all the miles ahead

that passing through this season brings. 

I still recall the trees in color.

It seems like just a day ago.

I dream of time i...
