Doors are open
Inviting
Awaiting their fate
Doors are open
Urging one
To contemplate
There are methods in the madness
There are fires in the soul
There are candles to be lit
Desiring self control
There are bells to be wrung
Hearts to be set on fire
Imaginations to be captured
Falling within desire
Minds are open
Appealing
Sharing quiet worlds
Minds are open
Elaborate
When you feel the need

The words flowed easily
The melody overpowered
By the intent
The songs caught
Amidst attempts
To invent
Searching for a sound
Almost there
It doesn’t take long
When they dare
How they did dare.

The barbed wire fence sent a message
A stark city street was aware
Mothers packed up their children
Doorsteps said beware
One day there was a vehicle
Driven by despair
Moments built on lack of trust
Unyielding to compare
And so it goes
Hearts built by a rose
And so it goes
Where one never knows
A simple song was written
Under dark blue skies
Lending itself to a vision
Dark dogs wonder why

Songs fill my heart
Looking for a place to start
Dreams live forever
I wish that you were here
So far yet so near
Dreams live forever
On a road to nowhere
On a road because you care
Dreams live forever
A hand reaches out to give aid
Another reaches to be paid
Dreams live forever
You give yourself in love
You give yourself in time
You give yourself in reaching out
Improving by design
Dreams live forever
Dreams live forever
In our hearts
Dreams live forever

No discussions
No explanations
No time to demonstrate love
No time to demonstrate care
No time to provide understanding
No time to show they cared
No time to be a family
No time to deliver some warmth
No time for anything
That showed love at its core

Wake up without a face
You are gone without a trace
A new world to embrace
Eating breakfast all alone
Sitting all day by the phone
A new world to embrace
A new world to embrace
Eating lunch by the tv
Not believing what I see
A new world to embrace
A new world to embrace
Everyday
A new world to embrace
Everyway
I dine with an empty chair
All I do is sit and stare
A new world to embrace
I sit alone on the bed
Think of things I really dread
A new world to embrace

There are words to remember
Words of hope
Words full of grace
Words that impact on meaning
Words that help
You interface
There are so many words
So many choices of
Where to begin
When your thoughts have words
It’s a sign
That life’s a win

The wind whispers
Slowly in the night
Riding high wires
Coming in so tight
Speaking few words
Not waiting for a reply
Such is the way of life
We always wonder why
Waves break on the shore
Seagulls cry in the wind
When life lets you down
You get back up again
When people sing their songs
You have to join in
Friends come and the go
They have lives to live
First comes cold
Followed by snow
Learning acceptance
In order to give
Heartbreak in the night
Something’s got to give

Buds break
On a morning dew
Softly
Gently
Beginning anew
Spring has sprung
Wildly in bloom
Snugly
Quietly
They renew
Completing the circle
The dance of life
Setting the stage
For yearly rites
Laughter
And love
And growing grass
Traditions continue
Growth
Contrast
Such a joy
To see you here
Feeling your love
Build a fire
Need your love
It inspires

I heard the words running through my mind
Utterances from long ago
They didn’t mean much at the time
But now they fill the void
I saw my life in the reels of film
Different characters playing my role
Each brought a certain nuance
They lived in words I didn’t know
There are times like this
I wish I could hear
Your chortle again
Some wise bon mot
Some words that pin
Meaning to the moment
But that’s not
What life is meant to be
You’re not here
I’m just glad with what you meant to me
