Joys we found

"But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt"

-Jake Bugg

The time will flow

And the memories we stow

Visit us with fright

Or grateful delight

Hurts we knew

And troubles we did chew

Joys we found

When glad times abound

Step by step

We are kept

On the narrow way

To the ending of our day

Of conflicting dreams

"Find a way to lie about a home ill never see...."

-Superman from Dawson Creek

Which part is the lie

Your soulmate is I

Or to ne'er speak to you

Which one is true?

I need to go slow

Not get lost in the undertow

Of conflicting dreams

And too quick schemes

I still believe

That nothing can cleave

A love freely shared

To those who dared

If you are less than,

"'And Love is all' he said"

-Boy with moon and star

Think it matters?

If you are in tatters,

If you are less than,

If you are burdened by sin?

It's a divine love

That guides us from above

Absolute mercy

Is ours universally

Hold not to pride

And please don't hide

The glory of you

Should always shine true

The Lord did not arrive

"We'll be able to fly..."

-Blue Oyster Cult

They turned away

And my shame that day

Was not for me

But for my spiritual family

A mighty storm was sent

So that they might repent

The Lord did not arrive

To help the healthy thrive

He came to the poor and sick

And his only real trick

Was his undying belief

That God always loves you and me

To my internal pyre

"...now I'm found"

-Amazing Grace

To ease our mind

To be kind

To go and see

To live simply

This is my desire

What sets fire

To my internal pyre

And to reach higher

Take not for granted

All that is enchanted

Friends are the real gold

If the truth be told

and be a burden

"yes the fighter still remains"
-The Boxer


all the roads go on
under the fairest sun
twist and turn
for freedom they yearn

i go that way
for i cant stay
and be a burden
and keep on hurting

my heart is free
and though i long to be
greater than thou
i am happy with what i have found
