Merry Christmas, he said
walking by with a nod.
I laugh and say it back,
under snow and cloud.
That’s what it looks like…
wintertime, I mean.
The snow is falling down
but we are due soon for spring.
I often marvel at Mother Earth
and that prankster Father Time,
wondering time and time again
why they sometimes don’t align.
she made me find myself.
she cracked me out of my shell
so i could experience things better.
she never fails to listen,
never fails to make me laugh
and never fails to share with me.
she always makes me comfortable.
she can trust that i’m always there.
she is one of the best things to me.
she’s the one i’ll never let go of
let’s talk about time travel
so you see something
then you don’t
you expect one thing
then get another
maybe there’s a black hole
perhaps a missing line
might be a new story
or even just an ending
that makes no sense here
there’s no way to rewind
but fast-forward is simple
take a gigantic bite
of nothing to swallow
why even try to bother
Let it go when I look at you…
Seems impossible right?
I don’t even look and yet
it’s like it’s always you
I think write about.
Distractions like work
can keep it at bay
but as soon as they are
gone, I see the whole.
Don’t look but there’s no chance
to not look away
from the crash that’s happening.
A hole in the pavement you always
never forget to fall into.
Look away and you’ll never know.
You see that there?
That’s my dream.
Wanna know how I know?
I can feel through me.
Just seeing it there
makes tears swell
in my eyes without fail
because it’s like my heart knows
that’s what I’m meant to do…
what I’m meant to be.
Now look over there…
That’s something I love.
Not something I feel deep down,
but it’s still wonderful.
Does it draw a tear? No.
Is it fun and relieving?
You bet your bottom…
But that’s not a true dream.
Now you see it,
but not yet
I don’t.
Maybe I shouldn’t tell them…
That their dream is completely futile,
That what want to be is hard–
probably the hardest job ever–
and that they would be hated
by some fraction of the country.
Then again, the job isn’t all bad…
Sometimes the rules change in
good intentions but poor outcomes.
It’s usually someone who’s trying
to make life better, perhaps less stressful
for those living in the land of the free.
Who would want that kind of responsibility?
The playmaker for so many yet so little.
So maybe someone will tell them one day…
This makes me glad that I never wanted
to be the President of the U.S. of A.
You plucked me out,
holding me gently in your hand
as you took a whiff.
You told me this,
that I was so beautiful
as I still grew.
You put me down
to pick up a dried blossom
and tried to forget.
You consider us,
that you may want my bloom
as not like the dry.
I try to forget
that you uprooted me from my plot
and made me fall.
I don’t want you
to forget all that we had though…
since I won’t.
Control can make you go crazy.
Jut remember that the only thing that you can actually control is yourself.
I want to be a soldier.
They are trained to handle
the toughest of situations,
how to fight tough
when something is
worth fighting for,
how to carry heavy loads
and oh, so much more.
I want to be a soldier
and protect something
precious to others,
protect those who can’t
even protect themselves,
and I want to be a saver…
someone who rescues
even the strongest
and never waver.
And I want to be a soldier
so I will never need a shoulder.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down,
but I stick up my chin and grin and say
the sun will come out tomorrow.
There ain’t no mountain high enough
when you wish upon a star…
any way you want it–
that’s what you get.
And I’ll be your bridge over troubled water,
come what may, i will love you…
I will always love you.
Don’t forget to remember me
because
I can’t make you love me
but I will remember you.
I’ve had the time of my life….
so what can I say
when you say nothing at all?
You belong with me.
How do I live
without you
because I love the way you lie?
Raindrops keep falling on my head
so send in the clowns
somewhere only we know.
Nothing about love makes sense.
Please don’t leave me.
Don’t turn around.
Just breathe.
Kiss me.
