wandering lost

thinking that there

must be a place

i can call

home

somehow

i’ve lost

everything

that made me

into who i am today

*              *                *                *

falling

deeper, lower

into the end of me

feeling

dreading, fearing

that this will eat me

alive

knowing

aching, hoping

i can fight this

and come out ahead

*              *                *                *

soft moonlight

gentle flames

warm my skin

i feel the burn

of life filling me

tearing me down

making me whole

and safe

again

reach into me

sweet goddess

of mine

and make me yours

*              *                *                *

death

of the soul

down into

tomorrow

praying for light

finding only

darkness

Somethings are worth waiting for

This isn’t one of them

I’ve been holding my own

For oh so long

I can’t even begin

To tell you

The tale of how it all began

Somehow I’ve been

Staying afloat

Not drowning in this sea of sorrows

But I’m tired

Of just holding on

So many have passed me by

I’ve seen ‘em going on

And somehow

Though they say they know me

The don’t know when

I need that helping hand

That grasp of understanding

So many times

I’ve seen them turn away

Walking past

Because I’m accused

I’m the one the world

Revolves around

How dare I dream?

How dare I not compromise?

How dare I be “faithless” to the rest

So I can faithful to myself?

*

I’m not worried

I’m not bothered

I’ve heard it all before

I know the truth of it

I can live with it

I can live with the truth

That I can do more then

You’ll ever dream of

That you’re afraid you might

Feel small because you can’t even dream

When I’m living mine

*

Come dance with me

Hold my hand

In the sunshine

And dance with me

Come cry with me

Hold me in your arms

In the darkness

there was a time

when i was close

and safe

within your arms

some where

along the way

i’ve wandered

farther then i ever

dreamed

i pray

that i can come

home

to you

and your safe arms

sweet mother

hold me in your

arms

so close to you

i am yours
