Shadows

Something lurks beneath the bright

It shies away from the light

Peripheral image that can’t be seen

What can that phantom visual mean?

Sense the dark as it closes in

Suffocates like a hidden sin

Run to a meadow open and free

Take a moment to breathe and see

The sun was shining just last week

Now the sky seems cold and bleak

Oh won’t the sun come out and play

Chase the shadows and gloom away

Dry

The wind blows through the Sahara of my mind
I'm reaching out but now your love's gone blind
It took so long to reach my heart's turning point
Now it lies in your hands not to disappoint

My garden is ready now to grow and bloom
The weeds have died and my heart has made room
Please don't say your love is withered and dry
Let's tend our flowers and let our love grow high

Odd Angle

You may say that I'm a cynic
that I should visit a clinic
or maybe that I judge too much
but sadly life has made it such

Maybe I'm a little jaded
Personality has faded
But it's what's hidden deep inside
that I can't continue to hide

Perhaps I'm more aware these days
overly cautious with my ways
To watch a world falling apart
It's time now for a brand new start

Fast

Time seemed slow
as the years flew past
Now I struggle
to make memories last

For all I've fought
and little I've won
My heart still seeks
a golden sun

Someday soon
it will all work out
In my heart
there's little doubt

Embracing time
as it flies by
Not taking time
to sit and cry

I welcome time
to heal our hearts
And set us off
to better starts

Quickly now
time can speed
To bring us closure
we all need
