I have thought myself alone
On the precipice of fate
With the hope I can atone
As it’s never out of date.
I have dreamt for many years
That our dreams are not quite real
But reflections of our fears
And the passions that we feel !
THE ONE I TRUST ( 2016 ) 2016/08/14
I left my heart on foreign shore
So long ago, forevermore
Through all these years I’ve not forgot
All of those dreams that lingered not.
I turned my face to other deeds
And sacrificed to fill life’s needs
To all my values I’ve been true
My faith is strong and patient too.
While I believe my course is just
I’ve found that God’s the one I trust !
THE RIDE ( 2016 ) 2016/01/14
The night is long it’s dark and cold
The dreams we’ve dreamt have all grown old
A burst of air rushed through the door
Life’s covers slipt onto the floor.
What would I give to capture youth
Well I’m not sure, to tell the truth
Perhaps nought’s left to grant me strength
Or add to life a greater length.
I think that we each must decide
How long or short will be the ride !
THE DISTANT SOUND ( 2015 ) 2015/08/14
There’s a world that’s out there, one that I shall never see
With all its magic music and such happiness for free
It reaches now to touch me with sights I have never known
Though I shan’t live to see it for my time is not my own.
I can sight the lights afar and do hear the distant sound
Distinctly in the twilight as the darkness closes round
And I’m sure that someone else will be right there to share it
As for me the truth is this, I’ve no strength left to dare it !
