I recently was going through notebooks and journals from my past 22 years and here are some things I found
1. All words have been spoken, but not all have been sung
2. How long does a body need to be buried until it becomes an archeological find? Grave robbing is okay after how many years?
3. Vacation
The sound of relaxation
Diamonds on the water
Total peace within
No agenda or plans
Pure thoughts echo in the mind
Love defined by saying nothing
Joy without distraction
Connection with earth
Watching the wind blow
All is as it should
4. I’m such a control freak, I’ll be a pallbearer at my own funeral
5. The path
I know many people, none all that well
I am respected by many & loved by a few
Only I know who I truly am
My journey sends me looking for why
6. He hesitates, he waits, no urgency in life, doors are open that he does not enter. Responsibilities are mountains, the weight is heavy and life a struggle as this is what he knows. Does he love himself? He would exclaim it so. He could learn, he had a chance but he now must find his own way. We pray he does
7. How can someone love me so much, so deeply, so unconditionally? This scares me!
8. She carries a lot of baggage for a flight to nowhere
9. Shadows
I’ve got something in me trying to get out
Can’t tell what it is, my minds full of doubt
Searching and thinking that sometimes it’s near
I push it away when it feels that it’s here
I’ve tried to find it with laughter and beer
A strange thing it is being controlled by the fear
10. No fine print, no hidden fee, what you are getting is 100% me
11. Our mission statement: For you to enjoy giving us money
12. Karmasaurus
Dinosaurs are extinct and there are varied theories as to why. What catastrophe put an end to them and made that era some 65 million years ago vanish? Man evolves and discovers that fossil fuels that came from this era could be used for energy, electricity, gasoline and billions of plastic products. Now man depends on dinosaurs and fossils to live. The entire human race exists due to the things that are generated from this extinct era. Man then learns that what has and is being produced from these fossils could ultimately make him extinct as the byproducts are slowly destroying Earth’s environment and all life on it. Is this deja vu 65 million years in the making? Does history repeat? Will man one day be the fuel for another inhabitant?
13. Truth In Advertising
Is your life being presented to you by a pill
Do you have side airbags
Should you challenge the call
Can you retire in peace
No payment no interest
Don’t miss next weeks…
Natural and artificial ingredients
The war on terror is brought to you by Dove
14. Kodak Moments
You can’t tell by the pictures the psyche of those framed and matted. Nowhere are demons or struggles that are inside all humans, they smile for the camera, is that real or is it ego? Preserved on display then boxed up and stored…..does the camera lie
15. David
I look out his window and think of all the sunrises he’s seen. God is ready to take him for even a grander view. He’s holding on for what I can’t say. Is there unfinished business he’s taking care of first, heaven was here and now it is there. Thank you my friend
16. Environ-meant
All during the Winter you hear those cries for warmer days ahead. 5 months later when Summer arrives they sit in their cars sealed tightly. So what is it they want, what weather are they searching for? Trapped inside their climate controlled personal cocoons not letting the butterflies roam free. It saddens me to see so many whom cry for better days while trapping themselves in a controlled environment shutting out nature, the nature they seemingly wanted. The closest to nature they come are the names on their giant SUV’s boasting rugged wonders like the Yukon, Tahoe and Sedona. Is there a weirder oxymoron than that? The vehicles that destroy more of this planet are named after areas of beauty and nature, Ironic for sure!
17. Addictive thinking
This is a nice place but I wonder if another would be better
I want to relax and do nothing, so what should I do now
18. Despair
Talking is a dagger
it cuts into the skin
honesty is a gun
it blows off one’s head
change is a venom
it stings then it kills
the answer is so obvious
why does it hurt?
19. GPS
You came and you left
you were here all the time
thinking I was smart was my big crime
20. I never liked love songs until I met you. It took me a while to turn the volume down
21. Time
I know your intentions were not to be bad,
I love you a lot which makes this more sad,
too much stress and an unbalanced life
will only cause trouble, upset and strife,
let’s take a break and then time it will tell,
if it’s meant to be then all will be well
22. Awareness
The clouds don’t care what day it is
the wind doesn’t know your name
the lines on the road have stories to tell
the jaywalker feels no shame
23. Goodbye Stranger
As I sit here on a plane up in the sky
I look outside and I wonder why
I’m now going to visit the guy
Who ruined my life and to watch him die
Now that he’s dying and there nears an end
I now wonder what would become of amends
One less person known family or friend
we could have been more if he only did comprehend
my parents are now gone and they say oh how sad
It’s a shame that you’ve lost mom and now your dad
I say not to worry things aren’t so bad
for little they know he wasn’t a dad
24. Back Alone
Back alone sad and quiet
starving but not on a diet
just can’t seem to see
the who the what is me
love my kids that is real
wish they knew I can feel
white flag waving high
no real hope still I don’t cry
sit around feeling doubt
sense no love God help me out
sun is hot it’s Fall today
wish a hug would come my way
grass grows and birds sail by
back alone and wonder why
25. Coming soon
Things I wish I already have
my brain stops me
so close so empty
logic, sense, feelings
alien all my life
it will happen
fill my bag
enjoy me
26. Can
Can an adult be a child
Can a father be a boy
Can fun be serious
Can sense be uncommon
27. Surrender
When you don’t stop to feel
life can be no big deal
Listen close to what I say
It will catch you hard one day
you can laugh have fun and grin
having no feelings is quite a sin
if it’s all about your family
trust me one day I will see
28. broken clock
Time never taken
What I might had
Movies never watched
Time Never taken
Intentions are swell
Guess I was wrong
father or dad
Time never taken
29. Fuck This Shit
Here’s what I feel- does that scare you to death
Here’s what I feel How astounded you must be
Here’s what I feel -it once seemed so right
Here’s what I feel -things are quite bad
Here’s what I feel- I try to see why
Here’s what I feel- I tried to force good
Here’s what I feel- it’s time to face facts
Here’s what I feel – thought it would last
Here’s what I feel- I really don’t know
30. Heaviest thing ever in my life
Don’t look at me that way
You don’t believe the things that you say
Tomorrows another day
So don’t look at me that way
Don’t look at me so mad
Don’t you know that I am your dad
You’re one of the best things I’ve ever had
So don’t look at me so mad
This I will remember, that anger, that look
The day the cops came even though you’re no crook
That morning my heart, my love I wish that you took
Yes I’ll truly remember that hurt and that look
So please don’t look at me that way
Tomorrow will be another day
There are so many things I wish to say
So please don’t look at me that way
31. Safety First
Exits never taken rest stops never seen
Along the journey to being happier than I’ve ever been
The life jacket is off, the parachute packed away
Think I’ll let love protect me on this day
32. Song
I’ve seen that cloud before, rolling thru the sky
you said you will always love me, told me that’s no lie
I’ve seen that cloud before, but this times that’s ok
No rain will fall from it, no need for tears today
chorus: Storms will come and they will go, a fact of life I see
The sun is there it never leaves, I have peace and now I’m free
I’ve seen that cloud before this time it will not last
The wind will clear the sky above all the rain has past
I’ve seen that cloud before but never in such a way
My heart is open now, I can enjoy this and every day
chorus
33. 47+364
The day is now over as I sit here and think
Another day gone with no thought of a drink
Perched in my chair as I contemplate
One day away from year number 48
The day is now over but now my life’s begun
Guess I had to lose all to see that I had won
A lot of good stuff lies ahead and is in store
Sometimes it takes 47 plus 364
34. Daddy daughter dance
My daughter loves me, she shows it with spite
Can I always be wrong, will I ever be right
My daughter loves me but doesn’t show it too well
Loves me with words that put me through hell
My daughter loves me I know this is true
Time will heal the pain and our love will re-new
35. Love song 3 Million plus 1
There’s been 3 million love songs yes it is true
None did I notice until I first met you
3 million love songs of love and of dreams
Thought I’d never have or or so it did seem
Everywhere I went I’d hear them each day
They meant nothing to me until you came my way
Sure some were catchy and some would make me smile
I’d sing along and hum them but only for a while
Now I have my love song playing in my ears
the song I always wanted after all these years
3 million loves songs now you can add one
I sing it each day for my heart you have won
36. Cranium not used
What’s on my mind should come out of my behind
What’s in my brain should be tossed down the drain
The things in my head I’d be pissed if you said
37. Another Round
Will I ever learn that things aren’t so bad
Will I ever learn that it’s not mom or my dad
I search for peace with all my might
Between my ears there is a fight
Not sure if I’ll ever see the sun
I’ll just sit here and crack open another one
38. The clock
Ambulance flies by and reminds me of the past
A time we struggled but did not last
The journey’s been amazing, the healing begun
We have grown so much, me and my son
Doubt still can linger, faith can be slow
But love has replaced so much as we grow
A new life is upon us, we have learned it so well
It’s been years since we tripped and we fell
More is awoken, a lot is so near
As long as I pray and turn over the fear
39. This is your brain on….
Most days I can barely cope
Why do you think they call it dope?
40. Partly Sunny/Cloudy
Challenges to distract have dried
Down the valley I slide more into
Alien life living alone, getting old
People exist most are happy, who are they
Confidence, short distractions are dying off
41. Dumb lyrics
I no longer yearn
I Kinda like David Byrne
I no longer care
The Earth was once rare
I no longer will
The fool on the hill
No longer do I try
Never liked Glen Frey
No longer have a smile
Been into music for a while
