And try not to get blown away
AUTUMN LEAF
An autumn leaf was falling, falling to the ground
The message in the wind tells me what it saw and what it found
While falling from the tree it saw a shooting star
The leaf thought to itself I wish I shoot that far
But instead here I am falling to the floor
Brought down by wind, soaked by rain and frozen to the ground
My life is now at an end I’m fading as I go
But I’ve still got one job left to do to feed the ground where I lay
All in all, it’s not so bad though I will not return again
I have sacrificed my life, so the tree will continue to live
So, in turn there is part of me that will continue to give
BAD NEWS IN A GOOD WAY
So sorry i have to tell you
I’ve got bad news for you
The plant you gave me to mind
Didn’t make it through
It’s now gone to plant heaven
Where it will grow again
So when you look on the bright side
It’s still alive my friend
AN UNUSUAL FAIRY
Her hair was of golden buttercups plaited together
Her eyes were pools that only the rarest of fish swam in
Her nose could smell all the scents of the earth in one breath
Her ears could hear beyond the sounds of time
Her arms were magic wands ready to grant a wish or take it away
Her body was the eternal language of love
She spoke with an eloquent beauty beyond which we could understand
Her personality was as light as it was dark
And she spread her love like gold dust touching all that crossed her path
AN ADVENTURE
I will sweep you off your feet
As you shelter beneath my wings
We will soar into the sky
And discover the reason why
We shall explore things together
That will hopefully last forever
The adventure will go on
As we go from dawn to dusk
As we go from dusk to dawn
Our dreams will fuse as one
Now that you’re near
I can taste your every tear
To wipe away your fears
For a feeling that’s so dear
ALL THAT MATTERS
As bright as the sun
As dark as the night
As silent as a shadow
As it creeps up behind
As urgent as a storm
As still as the snow
As sharp as the frost
As deep as the ocean
As shallow as a stream
As high as a mountain
As flat as a green
As important to me
As I am to you
As it’s all that matters
all that rings true
ALIVE
Like a heart without a beat
When you’re dead on your feet
Life goes on in this sweet morning song
The sun dries the dew
That rests upon your face
You come alive again
To speak softly to me
Like a gentle whisper
Sailing in the breeze
I think my heart just missed a beat
A MEMORY
Sitting by the fire on a long winters night
Reading my book my head in full flight
Little animals in the forest wading through the snow
Trying to find a friend they didn’t want to let go
I remember feeling I was with them trudging my way along
Even though there were no paths our instinct drove us on
We listened to the sounds that whistled in the breeze
The shadows big and dark the mood so very real
The mystery of the forest never ready to reveal
It’s a scene that I remember, and I guess I always will
From the comfort of the fire to the stories icy chill
It’s my place where I feel warm it’s my place where I feel free
It’s my place where I feel secure the way life should be
2:1
One heart beats alone
Wrapped in a cocoon
It seems there’s no more room
It was set free
To blow in the breeze
Over open ground
Has yet to be found
Should that breeze become a storm
Leave that heart beaten and torn
Stripped from its cocoon
Left in ruins
How long will it be?
Before that heart can see
That two will make it strong
Beating together as one
