Wednesday,May 4 2005, 04:14:49 AMAlone at Dawn

After a good sleep
Freed from all the day's work
Spending a quiet time
All alone

During winter nights
In the crisp air
Not a sound can be heard

Quietly, with a calm heart
Conversing with oneself

Setting aside everything
The load on one's shoulders
Gently returning oneself
Both body and spirit
To a time of childlike innocence

A peaceful time

Set free
For just a moment
From all worries
From all doubts

Melting away
Just going after
Sweet dreams

A happy time

Tuesday,Apr 12 2005, 01:32:31 AMTOO LATE I didn't know I loved you Until you...

TOO LATE
I didn't know I loved you
Until you went away.
I didn't much think of you
Up to that final day.
The music that was you
I only noticed when it stopped.
I didn't take the time to
Tell you that I cared a lot.
My love of life went with you
Too late for me to say
I didn't know how much I loved you
Until the day you went away.

What do I do, now I've reached the edge?
The cliff is steep to the plain below.
Miles upon miles of emptry air
And no hand will I hold, but your hand
and you are not there!

What do I do when smothering black
Of night engulfs me ... coldly dark
So dark I tingle with sudden fear
No arms do I need but your arms
And you are not there!

What do I do with a life that tells
the end of the world in a darkened mist
But still must keep senselessly on
No love keeps my heart, but your love
And you ... you are gone!

Sunday,Apr 10 2005, 01:03:17 AMYeah..... Walk in my shoes for one single...

Yeah.....
Walk in my shoes
for one single day.
Then you'll see why
I need to pray.
Come live in my home
for a week or two
and then remember
I am just like you.
I didnt ask for the things I was given
I didnt choose this road I have taken
Walk a mile with me hand in hand
Then perhaps you will understand.

I'm not really complaining
about the stress in my life,
I know that we all have
some toil and some strife.
But walk with me, when you think
I am wrong, walk with me
and you'll start to belong.
Embrace my sorrows,
like they are your own,
And then you will know me
And see I have grown.

The journey I take
is different from yours
My life took one of those
unexpected detours,
But this road that I travel
is not really so long,
If the people who watch me
will join in my song.
Listen to my footsteps
and watch how I dance
And then you will know me
and give me a chance.

Take heart and remember
It can happen to you,
who knows where my pathway
will cross over to you?
So speak to me softly
if you can't understand
Remember I once stood
right there where you stand.
And walk with me gently
when the day is at end.
And then I will know
I can call you my friend.
