I don’t sleep.
Not for worry,
Nor discomfort.
Nor grief.
I miss her voice.
Without it, I am unbalanced.
Through the wilderness, wandering.
Then, I hear her.
And the discord in my mind
Finds harmony when she speaks.
I settle into my soul.
Not for worry,
Nor discomfort.
Nor grief.
I miss her voice.
Without it, I am unbalanced.
Through the wilderness, wandering.
Then, I hear her.
And the discord in my mind
Finds harmony when she speaks.
I settle into my soul.

In the quiet parts of your day when you’re stuck in your mind, I am with you.
When the skies remain gray and happiness is hard to find, I am with you.
And, when love feels too far away and life is unkind, I am with you.
Because no matter how long it takes,
I will be with you.
When the skies remain gray and happiness is hard to find, I am with you.
And, when love feels too far away and life is unkind, I am with you.
Because no matter how long it takes,
I will be with you.

She knows you
Better than anyone ever has
Without holding you
She accepts you
Knowing you as she does
Without judging you
She loves you
Harder than anyone else
And you know you can’t live
Without her
Better than anyone ever has
Without holding you
She accepts you
Knowing you as she does
Without judging you
She loves you
Harder than anyone else
And you know you can’t live
Without her

The early morning fog hangs in the air like the opaque drapery of a picture window
Soon the sun will rise over the eastern mountains and remove the veil
Two lovers, one dressed in silk the other leather, meet in a verdant glade
Hands blessed and entwined, pull them closer
A kiss in the nascent light
Soon the sun will rise over the eastern mountains and remove the veil

You never stood a chance, kid
They cut you loose to the world before you were ready.
The lessons of compassion, acceptance, and love were never taught.
You had to find those on your own, through a twisted path of conceit and hypocrisy.
And instead, what you found were the tools of self preservation.

I long for home
The place I feel safe
The home I’ve never been to
Yet know every inch

I, Reckless
Intoxicated on love and dreams
Careening through streets
Of feelings and emotions
I, Oblivious
To the passengers
To the inevitable wreck
To consequences, death
I, Kneel
And ask for judgement
Intoxicated on love and dreams
Careening through streets
Of feelings and emotions
I, Oblivious
To the passengers
To the inevitable wreck
To consequences, death
I, Kneel
And ask for judgement

My colors and music are gone
Retreating from me
Leaving me empty, lifeless
Stripped down I lay on the slab
In the cold
In the neighborhood that broke me
In the home that wouldn’t hold me
And I do not care to leave
My colors and music are gone
Retreating from me
Leaving me empty, lifeless
Stripped down I lay on the slab
In the cold
In the neighborhood that broke me
In the home that wouldn’t hold me
And I do not care to leave
My colors and music are gone

Where light cannot penetrate
I find you and hold you

You can swim, breathe, live
Ascend

Through the dense forest the traveler journeyed on a quest unknown. After what felt like eternity, he entered a small glade with a shimmer suspended in the air. The power he felt radiate from her small presence was intense. Her strength unrivaled, welcoming, and finally he knew his quest was over.

I’ve recently become old, and I have also sprained my ankle. Do I go out back and wait for somebody to put me down?

As a lifelong Cubs fan, seeing them succeed early in the season gives me a weird feeling in my stomach because I know when June rolls around we will have already resigned ourselves to another season out of the playoffs.
