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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SOME OF MY POEMS HAVE BEEN MADE INTO SONGS. THEY ARE ON MYSPACE MUSIC UNDER THE BAND NAME, "WEATHERED PAGES". I HOPE YOU WILL CHECK THEM OUT.

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

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.
