tHe wHo...

I am ever present & yet seldom found
Ever waiting never bound

I hide behind the stars & moon
The watery depths or desert doon

I can be found with knowledge known
The where to look need not be shown

I come unexpected & leave without a trace
Can be burst or broken & haunt a place

I have been called quite dark & gloomy
But slightly golden from others who knew me

I come before a storm & follow laughter
I will always remain forever after

I confuse & transfix, heal & calm
If you listen carefully you will see that's who I am...

have I ever mentioned how much I love tuesday's.....

This Road goes ever on & on
Out past the stars & moonlit song
The wind it sings a lullaby
& still the tears I cry...

This road once traveled
So long ago...
I try to think
But wonder why...

Does this small Road
That continues still?
This burden lighter?
Heavy load?

For what has made all the difference?

This Road I take...
I try to make

A sweeter song
Upon that hill
Where it shall go
I'll never know...

My job is not
To see the end
But walk this road
& trod that bend

Sight unseen
Blindness wanders
Loss for words
Speech it ponders

This Road goes ever on & on
So will I walk & sing this song

The tears that fall
Upon yonder hill
Be swept away
For another day

For the night is young
& this Road is long...

Once upon a tUesday...
there sat a little toad.

Not just a toad, all big & green
sitting off the open road...

Oh No. You see this one was small,
as small as you or I.

He sat upon an old grey hat
from where I do not know.

He simply sat & leaned his head
from left to right & back.

Counting cars, & old dead trees,
cows & horses too..

But then he stopped his monotone
& looked upon my shoe.

Slightly curious, it would seem,
as to whom would walk this mile.

So I stopped & leaned my head
& we stared for quite a while...

Clouds were passing, cars went by
but still we held that glance.

He shifted weight,
& turned his head...

"Thanks for the chat.."
I softly said...
...& turned to walk away...

For here my friend, I now had seen
the simplicity of a day...

Not one to rush, or fall behind
to hustle round the bend.

But with all the ease of a little toad
will we see how to reach the end.

Do what we must with what we got
But don't forget Today...

O' dark of night
come over me
in sweet embrace
sing your melody

enfolding in
your arms of love
i call to thee
O' heaven above

O' dark of night
why must we fight
please hold me tight
in my blind sight

...over purple mountians view
...the crystal clear of mornings dew

O' darkest night
awake once more
silence plays
upon thy shore

lightening flashes
thunder roars
the clouds torn back
peace once more

O' darkest night
behold mine eyes
Gods's crown of light.....

rain, rain, don't go away
but stay today
and wash away
the silent tears of yesterday...

bring new life
within the strife

heal the hurts, touch the hearts
hold the hands that can not feel

rain, rain, don't go away
we need you here
to ease the pain
of a life once lost
& found again...

for thee i pray
this one request
t'was long ago
with little rest
remember whence
those days of old
forgotten stories
doest be told
for me i pray
please now do sell
those stories long
i bid thee tell
the rain did'st come
the sun did'st shine
please tell me now
dear clementine
t'was it whence
thy father called
beckoned thee
to him be named
t'were you his child
so full of grace
a small still smile
upon thy face
tell me how
sweet clementine
for once you sat
upon the shore
wept a tear...
...forevermore
silenced in thy tears
...dear one
calming hallow fears
...but one
oh, please to tell
dear clementine
secrets of thine
my clementine
what say thee not
thou do not know
secrets of old
so long ago
remember now
dear clementine
remember soon
for peace be thine...

i do must say
i can not see my feet

to some other day
when it might not be so hot...

...to find a place to run to when all is silent & still in the midst of a roaring storm....a solace in the weary world...an island, my island, of wonder & excitement....where dreams are not just dreamt but do come true, this place over the rainbow...my calm, my storm....a little flower so full of life holding on...to all it knows....the solid rock, my island, my solace...the pure & simple thought of somewhere other than here...a HOPE for what is to come....TAHITI....

2 wiSh toNight....

... it's days like this, where morning mist descends upon the heart of a lonely child...playing sweetly on the heart of another... innocent enough but dangerous as a fire, untamed & unchanging...

Oh to fly away into the night...where time stands still & midnight lasts... & I, all alone, will sit & know, the oceans shore, the sweet caress, so out of reach...yet right in front...decisions untouched, yet unknown...why not...

sitting silent
tears unshed
life's true calling
a page un-read

softly slowly
it will appear
still unknown
be calm my dear

the day is bright
the moon still full
these tears of yours
are yet be told

it is this time
this day of dawn
whence time stands still
& thoughts are gone

these unshed tears
be washed away
the music plays
& soon will fade

my heart is torn
oh sweet of mine
why must it be
true valentine

. . .

i do not know
which way to go
all thoughts be gone
the road too slow

I know not whence
this path will end
who will we meet
around yawn bend

its times like this
unheard of bliss
when feelings fade
& set astray
to come again
some other day

we sit and talk
about the moon
when strangeness falls
about the room

its times like this
I wish I might
know what I wish
to wish tonight...

One day upon a window sill
There sat a little girl

I spoke to her
She was quite small
"May I ask you what you're doing here?"
"Oh, I don't mind, not at all..."

"You see," she said
"This is today
and I am hiding here.

Outside's too cold
no one to care,
the sun I cannot see.

Inside's too hot
I like it not,
much to busy for me

So here I sit upon the sill
reflecting on the glass

Two worlds to chose
I just don't know
I wait for time to pass

For now I know
in hiding here
This world is not for me

I look not to my left or right
I only sit
and wait for thee..."
