Second Wind

 

Rose petals, soft as silk,

Riding on streams of air.

Where they fly, where they land,

They haven't any care.

Falling to earth, joining the rest,

Every flight must end.

Stretching out along the earth,

To catch a second wind.

You

 

You're the sunlight in my morning,

You're the starlight of my night.

You're the voice that truly matters,

You make wrong things come out right.

 

You're the fresh air, which I breathe,

You're the clear blue sky above.

And I am forever blessed,

To be the woman that you love.

Last Call

A thousand tortured voices

Growing louder in my head

Silent screams and endless dreams

Seeking rest among the dead

Their emotions violate me

Their anger fear and pain

And when one presence disappears

A thousand more remain

Something in me called to them

But the reason wasn't clear

And I followed them for answers

To a place so very near

And in my own reality

I found a place that could not be

A place among the restless dead

Who suffer just like me

I walked among the countless souls

In a place nowhere at all

A place meant for the suffering

Somewhere past last call

Broken Memories

 

How can someone tell the truth, of a past that should not be?

Memories of broken dreams, that once belonged to me.

Everything I ever wanted, everything I've ever had.

Ripped and torn apart, I watched it all go bad.

A childhood spent believing, in all the others lies.

It's easy just to walk away, yet no one ever tries.

I'm not sure where it started, or why I let it last.

I struggle just to make it fade, to remember it is past.

I tell the stories how I like, and to me it all is true.

I never added anything, just left out a fact or two.

And my life is all my own, as I face each coming day.

Thinking that tomorrow, I may learn to walk away.
