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
