LIVIN EASY
I CONVERTED MY POEM 'LOST' INTO THE LYRICS FOR A COUNTRY SONG
I'm wantin to see just what me I can be
I'm testin the waters just to test gravity
NOT THERE BEFORE
You saved them then
But fell again
The circle’s in the sky
Divided fence
And happenstance
Don’t care if it’s a lie
Tomorrow’s day
Fades into grey
And blue melts into black
MIDNIGHT CITY
For the calm of new fallen snow
Lies in silent peace
And stillness
Gently covering the loneliness
Of midnight city streets
And walking in the cold of night
I pause to stop and wonder

THEY WHO PASS
I sit upon a rock of high advance to watch the world go by.
Tis high enough for me to see the vast expanse in front of me,
And all along the vision’s song distills upon my mind.
WHAT'S IN THE HEART
What’s in the eyes if not to see?
A darkness on the land
Propetuated by a world
That will not understand
What’s in the ears if not to hear?
A silence through the night
THE EYE OF THE STORM
Once crashed the waves
Of tempest storm
Once blew the wind
As sails were torn
Once drove the rain
Gainst frozen skin
As darkness took
The vessel in
Once void of any
Hope at all
WRITER'S BLOCK
I hear it time and time again
“I’m fighting writer’s block”
And wonder if it isn’t simply
Self fullfilling talk
I listen to the problem
“I have tried so hard to write
GOOD
I have often seen in my walk
Amongst men
Whether is be that soul who has happened
Across my path
Or be it the ruling voice of nations
And States
Who alike stand to declare the cause of peace
WORLD HISTORY
One struggles neath the ever bearing hand of tyranny
One rises up and in revolutin, wanting to be free
One gives his life a soldier so the rest might live in peace

WHAT'S LEFT
Always searching for the next good time
And what the world can bring
Always looking for the next big deal
And what it’s offering
Never thinking very far ahead
Don’t worry bout the cost
BY THE WELL
Twas an ordinary scene
On an ordinary day
She an ordinary woman
On her ordinary way
Doing work of little consequence
She walked to Jacob’s well
Never knowing that in future day
BLUE SUNSHINE
The words have fallen silent now
And dreams passed away
The pills have taken over and
I don’t know what to say
My bags have all been packed for me
The driver waits impatiently

WHEN THE DARKNESS FALLS
It’s colder now and seems somehow
More empty than before
I wish I’d known the future then
And what it held in store
No longer is there will of heart
To venture form these walls
LOST
I'm wanting to see just what me I can be.
I'm testing the waters to test gravity.
I'm leaping with faith just to see where I land.
I'm shedding my cover to find where I stand.
