All Roads

All roads

Travel through here

Crossing paths

Bringing you near

Bold thoughts

With strong premise

Raise some plans

That may hold interest

Life goes on

On the breeze

Smiling faces

What you need

Filling hearts

Feeling love

Come on home

Ir’s what you need

All your life

You look to find

What is best

Best you can do

If you’re lucky

You will see your plan

Fill it with love

Love for you

There are times

When her voice calls me

Floating on the wind

Captured in the trees

I don't need a road map

To discover where you are

Or where you’ve been

Or what you need

All the roads

Lead to here

To your heart

Filled with warmth

And now you’re here

Right beside me

Breathing love

Breathing life

by Bill Ferguson

Pass

Pass the hat

Pass the buck

Pass your turn

With a little luck

Pass gas

Pass go

Pass the grade

Pass you know

Passover

Overpass

Pull your name

Out of a hat

Pass the gravy

Pass the cheese

Pass on love

If you please

Pass the road

Pass the salt

Past your prime

It’s not your fault

I'm Waiting

I’m Waiting

I’m waiting

Waiting for you

I’m waiting

For something new

Waiting for the moment to arrive

Waiting for the moment to come alive

I am waiting

Waiting for you

Time to live

Time to heal

Time for everything

To be real

Time is arriving

And it’s right on time

I’m waiting

Waiting just for you

I’m waiting

Waiting’s nothing new

Waiting for it to become real

Waiting for it’s true appeal

I’m waiting

Waiting for you

For Only You

Timeless is the night

There are many songs to be sung

So many details to be wrung

So much in life to be done

I’m glad at times like this

I see you standing there

In light of the moon

In the call of a lonely loon

In traffic midday noon

My heart longs for

Warmth as it seeks

Comfort in your arms

You may never know

How much you mean to me

My words can’t help you see

The depth of what I feel for you

Words you do utter

Sets my heart all a flutter

Reacting to you like no other

Moments captured

As candid photos

Living in my soul

I try to understand

Why I feel the way I do

You’ve captured something

On a level that

Takes my breath away

There is so much love inside

Being held for only you

by Bill Ferguson

Change

Life’s Change

Families change

Tastes change

Styles change

Climate change

Food chains change

Cities change

Landscapes change

Governments change

Friendships change

Everything changes

Why are we so afraid of change?

We change shoes

Change our clothes

Change our cars

Change our hair

Change our partners

Change our positions

Change locations

Change our hearts

Change our minds

Advantages of Solitude

Often

We are informed

That we must look for answers

Out there in the world

Religious answers

Intellectual answers

Answers about love

About the things that interest us

About our soul

Often

The answers lie within

Lie within the questions we ask ourselves

Lie within the beliefs we hold

Lie within the examination of who we are

What we are

How we got here

What we accept.

It is in our solitude

That thoughts percolate

And rise to the surface

As we examine

Our world

In ways others do not see

In places where our creativity

Challenges our abilities

And allows us to draw conclusions

That are ours

This is what makes us.

We stand tall

When we are alone

We feel none of the encumbrances

Daily life inflicts

We are us only at those times

We are more

When we are alone

It is the real us

I can live with that

There Is Love

There is love

In the spring rain

There is love

With nothing to gain

There is love

When I’m with you

There is love

And love is you

There is love

On a winter's morn

There is love

Sweetly adorned

There is love

When I am with you

There is love

And love is you

Love is flowers on the trees

Bees buzzing all around

Love is the look in your eyes

And in your gentle sounds

There is love

On a summer's day

There is love

In the sun’s rays

There is love

When I am with you

There is love

And love is you

Far Away From Here

I stood out on the street

I took in all the sights

The buildings were so tall

In the fading light

There was no real warmth

There was a decision not to stay

I’d rather be somewhere

Far away from here

I looked up to the clouds

I watched a jet in flight

There was a trail of smoke

As it flew out of sight

I’d follow that plane

Anywhere, anyway

I need to be somewhere

Far away from here

The road is long

And travel is far

It’s a place

To follow my heart

Turn it up

Turn it on

Turn it into something

That makes sense

Make it into something

I can be

Make it into something

I can see

Do you want to go there with me?

I moved on down the road

Following ancient trails

Searching for a path

Before the sun does pale

Looking for that moment

When life shifts into gear

I need to be somewhere

Far away from here

by Bill Ferguson

Have a Better Day

There are people

Who live in their dreams

And there are people

Who live in their schemes

And there are people

Who keep wondering

What will make a better day

There are people

Whose lives have been blessed

And there are people

Whose lives are so stressed

And there are people

Who can’t get themselves dressed

Searching for a better way

We can hope and dream now

We can create and conceive now

Something we can really believe in now

We can make our lives

Better in every way

There are people

With lots on their minds

And there are people

Whose minds are confined

And there are people

Whose lives are defined

By what others do say

We can hope and dream now

We can create and conceive now

Something we can really believe in now

We can make our lives

Better in every way
