A Day Late

Here’s to all the times I should have, but never did…

A funny thing about life

Is that it never stops

You can fight, and cry, and wallow

But you’ll only see teardrops

You can try and be nostalgic

But the results are always tragic

The more you sit, the more you lie,

The more that time will pass you by

And when you wake the next day,

Full of spirit, full of might

You’ll see the whole world before you and say

“It’s mine alright!”

But soon you’ll come to realize

This very simple truth

The more time you spend dwelling

The more you lose your youth

You’ll miss the opportunity

Then you’ll blame it all on fate

And in the end you’re suffering

‘cause you’re always a day late

Where We Are

Wouldn’t it be great to say
That everything has gone my way
That everything I want to be
I can now see inside of me

That all my friends are happy
My family is full of glee
And all of those in heaven
Can veraciously agree

Wouldn’t it be great to say
I held you in my arms
I listened to your every trouble
And protected you from harms

Wouldn’t it be great to know
That I’ll always be there high and low
Through games, through plays, through all the strife
Through every mem’ry in your life

Wouldn’t it be great to know
That you’re always by my heart
When you’re feeling lively
Or when we’re torn apart

Wouldn’t it have been…

Ecstacy

Imagine if you will,

A magic little pill.

One, that when taken,

Makes all of life a thrill

This little pill is freedom,

It makes you want to play

It makes all your troubles,

And fears just fade away

If taken when you’re worried

This pill will lift you up

When beaten, broken, and left crying

It will hold you through the fright

It makes your breathing heavy,

It makes you feel so light

It makes you move so softly

As you dance away the night

This little pill will give you hope

Make you look forward to each day

You’ll sing it loud, you’ll sing it proud

Even more so than The Fray

This little pill, so marvelous

You will not live without it

It is so close, a little dose

To make it all legit

All you need is to believe

And all of this will come to be

This humble little magic pill

Just wants to make you see

*That ecstasy is not a drug,

But rather you and me

What was Lost

I walk along this shore
Stomping through the sand and shells alone
I know that something’s missing
I set out on a journey to explore

I scour every castle
Every grain of sand in sight
Only to find nothing
Something’s not quite right

There is something missing in this beach
Something’s out of reach
It’s not the moon reflecting
Off the pale blue water’s might

Its love, the ocean whispers
Love in all its forms
“For you, your friends, and family
Oh, and for her too”

“One cannot love another,
If one cannot love oneself
It may not be an easy task,
But you must find it for yourself”

I sit, beaten, staring at the moon
The lone wolf howling, pleading, praying
Asking for forgiveness…
Begging for a ray of light…

I lay waiting
All my thoughts and feelings fading…
I lose everything…
Suddenly, my heart was set ablaze

“You look for love out in the water
You hunt for it in temporal things
Yet love, so simple, is inside
You are the love you seek”

Invigorated,
I walk along the shore
Not to search for something missing
But to share the love once more
