Lost in Translation

It used to be

That everything was just

So simple, so easy.

The only thing to do

Besides homework and crayons

Was to talk to you.

But now things are not

What they used to be

So we fought.

And recovery is not

As easy, as simple

As it used to be.

Self-Confidence

Sometimes I feel

Damaged, unhappy

Forced to kneel

At the feet of those

Who hurt me

But then I see

That I was wrong

Not thinking clearly

I am stronger

Than they are

I get off the ground

Dust myself off

Success bound

I am better than this,

They know that

And now I know.

Earth's Call

Quiet in the night

Clouds of breath

Fading from sight

Stars shining bright

Footsteps on the ground

Light, rhythmic pattern

Echoes of sound

Silence all around

The hush'd, lonely earth

Dim now, the cradle

Of creation's birth

The home and the hearth

Center of My Universe

Stars in the night-time sky


Shining strong and bright


Diamonds sparkling in my eye


Fill my heart with light



If only the world would stop and pause


Gravity cease and nature's laws


Neglect to be right and true


'Cause there's nowhere i'd rather be


Than standing here with you



Sounds and Feelings of Winter

Pouring rain


Muddy ground


Icy lane


Raindrops sound


Landscape lost

Ice-cold hands


Winter steals


Across the land



But it's okay


It's all right


As long as you stay


Within my sights



Winter Chill

Rainy days, gloomy nights


Winter winds, shrouded sights


But it's okay, it's all right


As long as I have you,


In my life
