For This Writing Today

What do I keep
What do I give away
For this writing today

Old friends and new
Something to do
Once to find use
Love then moves on

Reason a thought
Get lost on the heart
Sound in a melody

Starved by the world
Wants never told
Often, my day is too long

Worn again
All to reach here
Wherever this may be for now

What do I keep
What do I give away
For this writing today

Pushed beyond care
How do I feel
What meaning is to share
I wonder who sees my tears

I seem to believe
I can do anything
Not true for my hold

What do I keep
What do I give away
For this writing today

Free To Believe

Free to believe how I wish

Quietly sitting amid the pines
Waiting on time to settle down
Feeling for my truest feelings of life
Listening to my thoughts reign for love

Free to believe how I wish

See to thank if I care
Resting my eyes, sharing my want
Holding my need, abused otherwise
Now is a change always to appear
Looking from my peace within

Free to believe how I wish

Free to believe

From Change In Want From Others

From change in want from others
I can't afford this world any longer
I can't think for tomorrow
To live today has become harder
To love my own way seems farther
From change in want from others

Flowers To Play With

I will rest a bit longer
Listen to this quiet wonder
Become excited for tomorrow

Why, I wouldn't need
How, I wouldn't care
My turn to believe

Flowers to play with

My forever in call
To brighten my darkness
A need to remain
A wake a little longer

Flowers to play with

Fortune

Fortune comes to one again
Run to share with the sun

What began as a simple request
This has become a complicated day
What should be easy to understand
This has become a hardship on my way

What was once told a gift from god
This has become hurt in the lord
What was a world full of adventure
This has become a fear of forgiveness

Fortune comes to one again
Run to share with the sun

What should be peace and trust
This is torn apart pain, loneliness
What was meant to be, explain again
Thrown by a cloud to this day

What is wrong seems right is wrong
This crazy old night never leaves

Fortune comes to one again
Run to share with the sun

Family Old And New

I understand how you live
What you go through for life
To see you as a person as I
Forgotten of earth forever
Everything shown is old
A way to forget true need

I ask without asking by quiet
I still don't walk through

Family old and new

There is no care for me
In whatever I do
Held down by hurt to feel
Enjoy the pain

I know I am rich inside
This doesn't change love
A gift I won't find

Family old and new

From Beginning To Ending A Life

A life line keeps my writing alive
Only writing isn't all there is to life
Apologies don't change love or time
Love and time only remains
Feelings never change when real
Thoughts don't leave for different ideas

From beginning to ending a life

People find experiences along the way
The truth always wins the day
Scenery isn't everything to togetherness
Age plays with insight
Spirit and soul win all there is
Sound only means a share of the sight

From beginning to ending a life
