Take a walk through the woods
Hear the leaves crunch underneath
Quiet stroll on an autumn day
Quiet and peaceful I could keep
Woodpeckers finding bugs
Owls hooting on the wind
Buzzards flying overhead
Branches snapping back in place
Well worn path to follow
Late fall sun to warm the sky
Rocks and roots to trip over
Emotions running high
Leadership is weak
Caring even less
Can no one lead us
Out of this mess?

It was a night
Much like this
When you could feel
My heart beating
Building in joy
As we spent time
In each others arms
Getting to know
How the other
Half does live
Hearing first hand
Stories, emotions
Becoming one
In our hearts
Quiet music
A background sound
Soft romantic
Capturing souls
Urging, needing
Moments like this
To become one
I was meant for you
You were meant for me

When I feel warm
When I feel at one with my life
I always come back
To my memories of you
Hearing your words
Feeling the love in what you do
Such caring words
Still in love with you
In the darkness of the night
In the brilliance of the day
Everywhere in my world
There are signs of you
There are words and thoughts
That lighten up my day
Rising above
My feelings of being blue
I’ve kept your thoughts
In the far corners of my heart
A quiet place
Where I can reach you
I can’t hold your hand
I can’t see you smile anymore
You are still here
In all that I do

She sings in the forest
Boldly amongst the trees
Its sound makes her so pleased
The animals rest
Behaviour is the best
As she reads their tea leaves
Perchance to dream
She climbs to the top
Of a rocky outcrop
Echos reflect her laughter
Billy goats graze hills
The streams they do trill
Burbling with pleasure
Perchance to dream
If you go slow
The world will never know
Detecting isn’t a strong point
Look in the window
The embers do glow
Touch them they will then anoint
Perchance to dream
Is to know

First there was a sound
Then came a word
I learned that your heart does speak
Then I felt your touch
Then came the meaning
I learned that your heart does speak
Even now in the distance
Your heart is calling to me
There is no resistance
There is only consistence
Calling me to you
I looked into your eyes
They were full of life
I learned that your heart does speak
You wore some perfume
My senses detected
I learned that your heart does speak
Even now in the distance
Your heart is calling to me
There is no resistance
There is only consistence
Calling me to you
I heard a clear sound
Your love was speaking
I learned that your heart does speak

I saw a window someone had gone through
I saw a straight line leading me to you
Your mailbox is full, addressed in your hand
You live a life that is in demand
I notice that your yard is cluttered and full
I am lured forward by its distant pull
Yellow birds sing a song that is unknown
The grass was green but now it is fully grown
An alphabet sits upon your door
Mystique makes me wonder what is in store
The tables turn changing my world gray
It is like this happens every day

It is a life to lead
It is a place to play
It is where I live
It is where I stay
Nothing else matters
It is what I have thought
It is a place in time
It’s what I have been taught
It is well refined
Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters
It is where I live
Nothing else matters
I chase a path to love
It’s tangled and twisted
I learn it is not enough
It is what life is
Words are used in debate
Images to be mined
Looking for ways to relate
Drawing a straight line

A world of dreams
Has passed me by
I keep failing
Yet I try
I sense
A pattern
Only in dreams
It once was said
It is not what
I have read
I seek
To know now
I am living dreams
And it fuels my fire
I am living dreams
I hesitate
To understand
I return to living
Off the land
I gather
Information
I travel far
Into the night
I learn that love
Has taken flight
My heart
Is not broken

In my life
I have been places
I followed my heart
Alone and free
In my life
I have seen faces
Seen all the traces
What life could be
I have lived
I have loved
I have traveled
I have been
I have dreamed
I have learned
I have pondered
I have seen
I am here
I am now
I am who
I want to be
I am loved
I am happy
I am here
I am now
I am meant to be
Love me like there is no tomorrow
Love me there will be no sorrow
Let our love be wild and free
Let there be the love that is meant to be

Once there was a simple love
Once there was a heart so true
Once there was a moment in time
Once there was you
Once there were open dreams
Once there was a way and means
Once was so long ago it seems
Once there was you
Everyone should open their heart
Feel the love from the start
See the path to shared needs
Once there was you
Once there was a path to my heart
Once there was a place to start
Once there was a place in time
Once there was you
