Adventure

I’ve danced upon a silver spoon
I’ve jumped until I touched the moon
I swam until my arms grew numb
I’ve fought the old to save the young
I played with dragons
Flown with larks
Talked with beetles
Drawn with bark
Swayed with treetops smooth and swift
Held the ocean at my fingertips
I’ve flared with fire in my veins
I’ve even chuckled with the rain
I’ve ridden Nessy through Loch-ness
I taught a bird to build a nest
I reached across the sea so blue
And that’s what brought me ,love ,to you

Lessons

The moon taught me to dance
Barefooted in the rain
The rain taught me to smile
Gave me strength through all the pain
The pain taught me to live
As if tomorrow wouldn’t come
Tommorrow taught me swiftly
To learn to love the Sun
The Sun taught me to shine
As brightly as the day
The day taught me that laughter
How to keep my fears at bay
My fears taught me to reach out
As often as I can
And reaching out has taught me
I don’t have to have a plan
Lack of plans has taught me
Spontaneity is best
Spontaneity has taught me to give
Without regret
And all these lesson I have learned
Have proven just one thing
That giving freely of yourself
Can get you everything.

Killing Me Softly

Killing me softly
can't take a breath
hearts been barely beating
ever since you left
crying on the inside
won't let it show
hasn't been long
since I begged you not to go.

Memory

This memory
is the sweetest of them all
you
me
and the rain.
