Hello there

All that is me

I will unlock my soul

For you

Leaving the keys

In your hands only

Use them wisely

For they only work

When you mean it

Otherwise they break

And a broken key will open

No locks

If used wisely open the locks will

And out will come

All that is me

mid month ramblings

I can do that

when

They are sick

Bless their poor little hearts

I feel so helpless

And they need you

Like at no other time

They need you

What can I do though

I can try to give medicine

But what do I do when that

Doesn't work

There is one tried and true

That may not heal all ills

I can be there

I can sing them off tune songs

Lullabies to ease the mind

I can be there with the love that I will

Never leave behind

And I can hold them

Without showing my fear

And pain

I can do that

I can do that

lie to me

Tell me a
Little white lie
You know I love you
And I know
It isn't true
But I go along with it
Lie to me baby
Tell me you feel safe
Lie to me baby
Tell me with a straight face
That you wouldn't want
To be anywhere
But here
Lie to me baby
I'll take it
With a smile on my face
Lie to me baby
And I'll take it
With a smile on my face
I'll take it
Because I don't know any better
Lie to me

Static

We find that nothing is truly

Static

Everything is in motion

If only we could slow it down

Friction plays it’s own part

Slow to a crawl is still a

Crawl

Everything is in motion

There is no true static

Watch close as I try some slight

Of hand

A trick for your pleasure

Or maybe for your

Benefit

You just cant tell with

These things

Weather it is for you

Or if it is indeed for me

This slight of hand

Watch the one in the sky

She lay there with her

Toothsome smile

Painted on her hand as if

As if she had some part in the

Goings on

Watch as she steels herself

While we fortify ourselves

We find that nothing is really static

Even in this an image

In the sun

In the sun

I Journey in the sun

Rest with the moon

Across a midnight sky I stretch

Noon day you will see me

A journey of words

Finding that I know very little

In that midnight sky

Some peace

That is peace of soul

I close my eyes and see

That noon day sun blazing across my sky

It is easy to see

What so easily I missed in my noontide travels

I rest with the moon

And journey with the sun

I find them fit companions

Squinting in my noontime travels

I see you stark outlined

You I could find space for in the midnight hours

Could that you would see beyond the glair

Come journey with me

See the vistas open like petals on a flower

And the softening of all the edges

Rest with me but a moment

Then race across the sky with me

I journey with the sun

And rest with the moon

There is space enough for two on this ride

Take to the sky with me
