ME


I see a picture of her in my mind,

She's smiling, laughing, with a glow behind.
A sense of calmness deep inside.

Children playing..... Flowers blooming..... Sun shining

I see me standing there,

What I hear she cannot hear.
She does not come near.

Aching lonliness..... Fearfulness..... Cloudiness

She is her and I am me.

I'd rather be her,
But together we are me.


I CARE, DO YOU?


As I stand outside my body looking in

Wondering what they see
Am I that different?

Am I an alien in the world of men?

My feelings run deep not making it to the surface often

My soul cries when it sees others in pain, my head wonders why?
My blood runs as red

My heart beats as strong

So maybe if I seem different to you it's because I care

Take a moment and look deep within yourself
I mourn for those who have died and the tears run freely unashamed

I cry for those still in pain and it hurts me too

Maybe that is why I seem so different than you

I care, do you?


TO DREAM


The wind whipping my hair in my face makes me think of years gone by.

The clean fresh smell of the air makes my eye lids heavy and I begin to dream.
To dream, a wonderful feeling of freedom.

An open passageway to years past and one's to come.

Drifting through my mind I remember all the good times.

Laughing with friends,
Playing with a puppy,

Hiking through the mountains.

Darting to the future to see what I will become.

Chances I will take,
Things I will do.

All are in my dreams.

Slowly I drift back to reality.

To dream your future is one way but dreams often change like the seasons.

To dream is to experiment.

To find out the true future you have to live,

You have to wait

And in the meantime,

You have to dream.
