Bright / Dark

Standing on the
edge of sorrow
looking to tomorrow

Should I just jump
and fly a little
before the end comes near?

The mist is thick
The way unclear
All alone with my fears

The horizon
spread out beneath
my every hope and dream

Where is the light –
that bright beacon –
to pierce a soul so dark?

Should I just jump
and fly a little
before the end comes near?

The Last Dance

One, two, three,  four
One,  two, three, four

Waltzing ‘cross the floor
Moving t’wards the door

Five, six, seven, eight
A heav’nly carriage waits

Eight, seven, six, five
I feel so alive

Four, three, two, one
Four, three, two, one

Alas, my life is done!

Wheel Me In

I don’t know where I’m heading
Someone else take the wheel
My mind is too distracted
To know what my heart feels

************

Turn, wheel, turn
With each rotation do
Make the time fly by

Clockwise, on and on
And we grow older everyday
Forgetting all of life’s strife

Turn, wheel, turn
Until it’s time to stop
When I’ve reached my destiny; eternity
