Waiting for an answer

Waiting for an answer

Roads I could have chosen

Different avenues

Now lost in erosion

And here I am waiting

Watching the clouds invade

The sun that is fading

Another day is made

Here in the cloud shadows

Here in the cloud shadows
As we circle, we climb
We shout into the noise
Ev'ry echo, a rhyme

We forget and forge on
Revolutions are rare
Except for the turning
Of the Earth in nowhere

It's here that I stand still

It’s here that I stand still

A promise that I will

Be waiting here until

Stars perfectly align

My heart belongs to you

And it never asks who

And when you’re out of view

You are still on my mind

I want to think beyond

I want to think beyond

Where there is no order

I want to transcend space

Birds are without border

I want to fly through clouds

On wings of creation

An original joy

Unique exultation

I dreamt we were floating

I dreamt we were floating

No shadows were falling

The light traveled through us

And time stood still stalling

Traveling together

We were our true essence

Floating in ecstasy

With those we love present

Something out of this World

Something out of this World

For a second, a kiss

In outerspace it gives

A reason to exist

And light loses light speed

And in the moment breaks

There’s no sound, a vacuum

Earth moves without a quake

Cold moon that doesn't care

Cold moon that doesn’t care

Distant stars only stare

Clouds slowly move up there

Today is nearly done

And the globe spins in space

Nothing can change its pace

If I stand in one place

Again there will be sun

I no longer star gaze

I no longer star gaze

Night skies out of fashion

I’m choosing so few words

To express this passion

I should be more daring

And create in a fury

But this night is cloudy

And the moon is blurry

Today I visited

Today I visited

The past but did not stay

I left the past early

Because of what you say

It is all I can take

Again, the words spoken

Always the same outcome

Relationships broken

Reaching for an astute

Reaching for an astute

Answer, never before

Having this conclusion

Or flung open this door

It’s without boundaries

It’s an alpha acorn

Start of an era where

Enlightenment is born

On Sundays we visit

On Sundays we visit
The frogs and the turtles
Before we have to jump
Over next week's hurdles

In a vast open space
With busy dragonflies
Where the great blue heron
On lanky legs presides

Words in a muddy World

Words in a muddy World

Get lost like autumn leaves

Too many voices call

Out, too many hearts heave

Worn out shoes, pebbles find

Their way in as I climb

Searching for higher ground

Watchful of passing time

I must face my fears, must

I must face my fears, must

Face the facts that are known

I must become stronger

Let my true self be shown

That I can have success

And find a greater place

By conquering my fears

The fears that I must face

I pull the past up like

I pull the past up like

The covers on my bed

Just to stop the future

From entering my head

I wrap myself with thoughts

Yesterdays together

Because tomorrow brings

Lonely days to weather

I'm no longer shedding tears

I’m no longer shedding tears

I look Life in the eyes

Though my heart has not healed

In pieces, still, it lies

Though I no longer cry

No happiness has grown

And I’ve come to accept
You're gone and I'm alone

It means nothing at all

It means nothing at all

No writing on the wall

There’s no answer at all

Sunrise is filled with light

And truly we don’t know

And there‘s no face to show

There’s no divine glow

Sunset begins the night

Here is the particle

Here is the particle

That will create a spark

No spin, charge or color

Yet breaks and leaves a mark

Particles of pure space

A vast field of nothing

Like a thought or a dream

That turns into something

I do not knock on doors

I do not knock on doors

That never open wide

For me or anyone

To gladly step inside

These doors lead to nothing

They do not have a face

An empty absolute

For which I share no faith

Painting over paintings

Painting over paintings

Each day the same landscape

The sun, the shade, the moon

So where is my escape

Always painting with the

Same brushstrokes and tempo

When my art fades there lies
The same pentimento

The dance steps of robins

The dance steps of robins

In their red breasted coats

A whole note is held then

A run of sixteenth notes

With grass as the dance floor

The yard is their haunter

But sadly the worm is

Their reluctant partner

And it might as well be

And it might as well be

Tomorrow not today

I’m already braced for

The World that comes my way

Tomorrow should be here

Today lost its meaning

Lame hours divide us

From our morning greeting

And so time has joined us

And so time has joined us

We must take forward steps

The future is waiting

We can no longer rest

And age presses on us

Together we must forge

Here now is tomorrow

We must pick up the sword

In me, I'm lost, just as

In me, I'm lost, just as
Lost as without a key
Or a map on a trip
That's void of destiny

In a fog all vague, with
No path or direction
Each step a sinking cloud
Time without selection

Dust already collects

Dust already collects
On this day that's spinning
Again the sun gives up
The moon now is winning

Paint a landscape sleeping
The stars deep in slumber
I'm here waiting for you
While I count their number

Truly no accident

Truly no accident
That I happened to read
The words you carved in time
Your words that I now breathe

And in my breath, they come
Alive, the soul of you
Your words become my words
Your emotions, my view

I'm at the mountain top

I’m at the mountain top

I breathe what little air

Live my Life at its peak

Not somewhere way down there

I’ve gained more stamina

I’ve grown a thick veneer

From my mountain top, I

Can see the World from here

Across the curvature

Across the curvature

There is more sky than land

After the storms have passed

The dead tree still stands

Live trees and green branches

Have fallen in their path

But one dead tree remains

Withstanding weather’s wrath

Kindness still surpasses

Kindness still surpasses

Intellect and never

Goes out of fashion or

Changes with the weather

Out of common Life, like

An afternoon shower

Come to my rescue, you’re
The stem to my flower

Here at the beginning

Here at the beginning

At the moment of start

An unreachable dream

That cannot fall apart

It’s a dream born on clouds

It never loses height

But will never come true

Always the purest white

Darkness still surrounds me

Darkness still surrounds me

Future hill lies ahead

Can’t recall the last time

Into light, I was led

Danger here, and still the

Answers, a tongueless bell

Turn around, it’s still the

Same direction to hell

I went searching for me

I went searching for me
No answers in the sky
I looked in the woods, but
There was no sign of I

Traveled the less traveled
And I sought company
When I looked no further
The search ended with me

Looking at outerspace

Looking at outerspace
The space between each star
How near they appear, but
Actually, it's far

The World all discovered
Yet questions are in hope
But there are no answers
And no one knows the ropes
