I saw you today

I saw you today

I saw you today
It took me a monument
to realize it was you

Fresh as
If it was my first hello
Smooth
As water on a slip’n slide

I was back there
The days of
Simplicity and quiet gazes

No questions
No answers, either

My knee jerk reaction
Wanted to know you again
My past told me I already did.

I’m enamored
by your ability to hold me
Without ever reaching out

Yet;
Saddened by your ability
to set fire to a room
You never intended
To be in

You never owned your
Dysfunction,
you collected glitter
and wore it as
your charmed life,
rolled though me
Like a hurricane party
on nitro

You know
One day
You would be
Standing
In the place, that space
Only you would fill
Only you could fill

That day came
It was here
Before us
Playing out
Like it did
In my mind

No disappointment
No resentment
Oddly
It was joy

I saw you today,

No questions
No answers, either

My knee jerk reaction
Wanted to know you again
My past told me I already did.

I saw you, today.

Unexpected ties

I hear you
Through the storms
Of life’s
Ever changing
And like the tides
I’ll roll in and out til the day you grab
On and hold on tight
I’ll take you from
The empty promises
Where laughter is all
You hear
When the morning comes
Like lighting trough the clouds
I’ll be there
I’ll be there

I said to you
What your doing today
Is what you’ll be be doing all year long
Was I right
Was I wrong
Only you can say

Just sing
Sing and play my favorite
Song
With words
Are real
So please sing that song
Everything is alright
Everything is alright

Just when I though I couldn’t move on
I’ll i have hear , is that sweet sweet song

I hear you
Through the storms
Of life’s
Ever changing
And like the tides
I’ll roll in and out til the day you grab
On and hold on tight
I’ll take you from
The empty promises
Where laughter is all
You hear
When the morning comes
Like lighting trough the clouds
I’ll be there
I’ll be there

Clarity under a new sun

Drive
Fly
Walk
Stand
It’ll all the same
When your
Caught up in the game

Step off
Leave off
Let go
Forward
Living past
days of learning

finding out
where you are
Is where you’ve alway been

knowing this and Ignoring it
Is suicide of the soul

Hardly intentional
The leaving you behind
Wasn’t my plan to show my hand
But as you were searching
I was choosing
It’s when I stop thinking
I realize the clarity of
Your motivation was
Was all about you
Less about us

Drive
Fly
Walk
Stand
It’ll all the same
When your
Caught up in the game

Step off
Leave off
Let go
Forward
Living past
days of learning

finding out
where you are
Is where you’ve alway been

out in the midnight

Stuck out in the midnight
Leaning on street lamp
Flipping through
my little black book
Locksmith’s 55
You’ve been out all night

The list is long
I stay strong
It’s just these little moments
In time that
I think I’m better off
Without
These ties
But the morning after had me
Feeling I’m a better person
With you
Than without

So I’m not gonna worry bout
The small stuff
Not gonna make it bigger
Than it is cause
It’s easier to
Forgive
Live and let live

The list is long
I stay strong
It’s just these little moments
In time that
I think I’m better off
Without
These ties
But the morning after had me
Feeling I’m a better person
With you
Than without

“On a morning flight, to anywhere but here”

Looking through
The eyes that say they know me
When all I know is the eyes
that  saw right through me
Leaving me with everything
that belies the very notion that
My eyes saw more than yours,
mine saw everything about you,
before you even knew
who you were to yourself.

Smiles for miles

I’m always chasing something, life, love and everything in between the waking and the sweet slumber of my young mind. Sometimes it’s nice the see a rainbow, no matter where it starts or ends… I smile for a long, long while.

It is what it is,

As our bodies rise together
our dreams may vary in our sleep
as we rise to to morning sun
some time between to first movement of the day we seem to share one dream between us

As the night on to us like a blanket
And the sea comes up to meet us
We stand here before thee

To speak of truth, of kindness of forgiveness. We stand to pray for guidance in our ever, never ending sojourn to greet each day together

As we dream, we find them becoming salted in principle and varied by nature.
As it is what it is, shared but individual, unquestionably unmistakable this effortless attrition to the levels of intimacy we have so far enjoyed becoming.

sweet as it may be “…so let it go, let it be, set it all free, everything you knew, everything your learned, you did not know it would be me”

“…so let it go, let it be, set it all free,

everything you knew,

everything your learned,

you did not know it would be me”.

Friendships, are love affairs of the soul…

How many friends do we truly know to be just a knock on the door away. As much as I’d like to rewind the time, friends at “hello”, the void of you seems sureal, an bittersweet the thought of you.

Understanding why someones path crosses yours just long enough, leaving an undeniable mark in your life. I hope it’s because the best part of who they are offers you/me the ability to make better life choices. This song is about separation of a love, I think it fits the separation of friends, as they often become collateral damage durning the twist and turns our lives take.

“Time and space, living, love and other reasons to run”

I was looking for a rhythm that held together words that drew a photograph of a rambling heart looking for a place to land, but the highway seem to be it’s home.
