Alone on a Cliff
I Knew I was a Lucky One
There are Some Days that the World Revolves around Me
It’s Like it thinks I’m the Sun
It’s Almost Like I’m on the Edge of a Cliff
and All I Wanna do is Take Flight
But I Find Myself All Alone
I Guess Some people just can’t Seem to Handle the Height
They Prefer a Different View to Their Worlds
From a Much Lower Site
So
I’m Gonna Spread my Wings
And be Carried by the Wind
But I Won’t look Down
Or I Might see a Whales Tail or a Shark Fin

I Hope they Have a Bed
Let’s just Keep Going This Way
There is Something up Ahead
I Don’t Care What it is
I Just hope they Have a Bed
Are you Sure, Though? We’ve Been Going Straight for a Long Time
Relax, Dude
We are Fine
Your Phone is Gone, So I’ve been Following Mine

 
Little Traditions
Sometimes…
When we Are Losing Someone Really Really Important to Us
We Hang on to A Lot of Little Things
Any Little Traditions
That we Possibly Can
Just to Keep the Connection…
Anything…
Including Questioning…
What is out There?
Should I Dare?
Do I Care?
Or..
Am I Just Scared?
Not This Time
This Time I Go
This Time I Am Prepared

Lost in Sleep
Where do You go When you Get Lost in Sleep?
Do You Go to the Mountains?
Do You Look for Buried Treasures in an Old Dragon’s Keep?
Or Do you Go to the Pasture and Count all the Sheep?
Promise me One Thing
No Matter Where you Go, Though
That if you ever find yourself on a Cliff Just Shut your Eyes
Just Leap!!
You’ll Fly
It’s Amazing how Funny things Can Happen when we are Fast Asleep
But be Ever Wary
Sometimes…Sleep don’t come Cheap
All these Years go by and it feels like there is Nothing left to Say
Sometimes… Thoughts get a Little Fuzzy
The Memories come back to Us in Icy Shades of Blacks and Grays
But That’s Ok
These are just the Types of Days that have Outlived their Momentary Stays
We Thrive when We Dream in Color, Anyways
I Dream of the Stars in the Sky
And the Mountains up High
And I Dream of Rivers and Streams
All of these I See in My Dreams
These are My Memories
Forever Filled with Wonder
I Don’t Know about You But I’d Rather have Dreams
With Some Mountains and Some Streams
Then Those of the Icy Tundra

I Used to Think
I Used to Think…
Everyone has that Something they Want to Be
And I Used to Think…
Everyone has All these Places they Need to See
And I Used to Think…
Everyone has Someone That they Get to See All of these Place With
I Used to Think..
Everyone has Someone else, But Me
Everyone Else but Me…
I Don’t think That Anymore
But…
Everything that these people want Me to Be..
I Am More than just the Sum of what They See on the TV
And I have Met Enough People to Know that this World has been Calling to Me
And I’m Happy to Say…
I’m Finally opening my Eyes to All the Possibilities that I’m Starting to See

Just a Man
What if…
I were just a Man?
And…
What if…
You were Just a Girl?
Would I Still feel the Need to Write this for You?
Or…
Would You Not Yet be a Bigger Part of my World?
But…
I am Not just a Man
And…
You are No Ordinary Girl
I Knew it The Moment I Saw You
When the Music Played…
and We began to Whirl… and to Swirl… and to Twirl
But…
I Didn’t Say Anything, Then…
Maybe, to You…
I Am Just a Simple Man
Hard to Love
and Not Making it Easy…
Maybe, Someday…
I Won’t Be Just a Simple Man
Hopefully, Someday…
That’s What You’ll See

What If…
I Were Just a Girl?
And…
What if…
You were Just a Man?
Would I Still Do Anything To Make You Happy?
Anything at All…
That I Can…
For My Best Friend
When I Saw You…
We Danced…
And I That’s When I Knew…
I Couldn’t Figure it Out, Why…
Until That Day…
Why You had Never been a Bigger Part of My Plan
But…
I Didn’t Say Anything, Then
Maybe, To You..
I Am Still Just a Girl…
Not yet a Woman…
Difficult….at times
And not making it Easy
Maybe, Someday…
I Won’t be Just A Girl
Hopefully, Someday…
There will be A “You and Me”

 
Rhyming Crimes
Oh, My Dear
My Darling Dear
I Will Forever Be by Your Side
I’ll Be with You Through it All
Until the End of Time…
Did You Notice what I Did Right There?
Those, Two Words…
They Don’t even Rhyme
But…
Two Words, Not Rhyming Well
That’s Should Matter
Words not Rhyming Well Together..
Well…
It’s not a Crime
And…
Even though I May be Gone
Know…
That it’s only in the Physical Way
I Try to Make You Notice Everyday
You Will Always be Protected
You Will Always be My Baby
And…
You Will Always be OK

Sanctuary
Extend Your Sanctuary for the People Around You
They Are Gonna Need You

 
Misunderstood Adulthood
Just Cause You Could
It Doesn’t Mean You Should
And…
Just Cause it Looked Easy for Them
It Doesn’t Make it Any Good
But…
It’s All Still Possible…
And…
in all Likelihood…
Even during your Boyhood or Girlhood
Chances Are…
You…
were Probably just a Little Bit Misunderstood
But Now…
Older and Wiser… In Your Adulthood
You Will Start to Notice it Feeling like the Start of your Second Childhood
So…
Whatever Reasons You Need…
Whatever Bridge Your Decide to Jump from
Or…
Whatever Cliff you Decide to Dive from
Or, even…
Whateveer Trees You Decide to Climb
Just Do Them For You
And You’ll be Just Fine

 
Start Walking
If You are Better Than That
Be That…
Get Back Up
You Ain’t Gonna Get Anywhere…
if You Don’t Start Walking Somewhere

 
Terrible Ideas (for Miles and Miles)
Terrible Ideas…
Don’t You Just Love Them?
Life Offers Up, Everyday A Thousand different Terrible Ideas
We Just need to Perfect One of Them Enough to Earn Some Income
And…
If We Work Hard Enough on that One Terrible Idea…
We might Find our Way to Forget All the Struggles we’ve Come From
But…
Always Remember…
The Struggles have helped us to Get Here…
Across the Miles and Miles of Who You Are
And…
No Matter What…
You Will Never Forget the Distance You have Traveled
Nobody Else…
Can Possibly Comprehend Just how Far

A Serendipity Moment
It Was a Moment of Serendipity
On the Day We Met…
When…
we Both Looked at Each Other
And…
We Both Just Instinctively Knew
That…
You were Made for Us
And…
We were Made for You

Your Truth
Choose…
Your Truth
Not…
Their Demands

 
Travel Company
Traveling….
Is Not All or Nothing
Traveling…
It’s All
Exploring is Everything
And…
even if Parts of the Trips were Not as much Fun…
as We Had Planned they Would Be
I Still Enjoy Your Company

Blaming Shadows
Don’t…
Blame Your Shadow
Just…
Because You’ve Lost site of Your Rainbow
You…
Just haven’t Been Look Hard Enough Yet
But…
You will…

Life Changes
Life Changes
That…
Is What Life Does
But…
No Matter How Old
Or…
No Matter How Young
Just…
Let Your Pages Turn
Let the Music Play
You will be Happy
As Your Personal Story Unfolds
