I Pray for Resolution

The words flow
Decisions made
Ideas mine
But the inspiration dies

Dreams of hanging on
Dreams of getting well
Splinters in the eye

Bones will never rest
It was never up to me
And yet I pushed until it broke

I love the open road and all that it suggests
We are wagon dust
Weeds of infidelities

Always follow along and never question why
In a wooden house, immovable and silent
Forever lost in time

And thru the sleeping streets
Night bound and dreaming
No shadows have we

Now my gates are high
My friends are even higher
A garden in my mind with stars that linger on

My heart is pointed down but my spirit pointed up
Behind this paneled door
I play my guitar and live those lonesome notes

I often speak of you
But the you is always me
Because when i speak of me
Its me I ask of you

So let there be no truth
Just trickery in rhymes
A child is who I was
A child is how I'll die

Dreaming

She left her shoes out on the beach
She left my dreams just out of reach
She left her footprints in the sand
She was a bird right in the hand

I met a girl that made me laugh
She left a faded photograph
I thought I had hear her siren song
I sang along but I was only dreaming

Visions in my head
Talking in my sleep
Turning in my bed
But I was only dreaming

I met a girl that talked in rhyme
I met a girl who took her time
I saw the ocean in her eyes
I saw myself unrecognized

And all the stars up in the sky
Fell down like rain and made me cry
I held the world right in my hands
I held her close

But I was only dreaming
Life was so complete
But I was only dreaming!

Riddles In The Dark

The softness in the snowfall
The silver shining stars
The moonlight off the hoods of passing cars
Remind me of you most of all

I fear I've passed into a dream
Strayed somehow from thought and time
But here, there is no time
And everything is whatever we want it to be

Two shadows chasing each other in a night sky park
Slow-motion fireflies
Holding their reflections in your eyes
And laughing sweet to riddles in the dark

A dream it may be
And the morning sun will wash all but memory away
For now I cling to this dream before it strays
And doing so, I hold you close to me

End

If death came knocking
Would you send it a way
If that frozen hand stretched for you
Would you keep it at bay

What if you could end it all
What would eternity and judgment hold
When silver trumpets call
And body grows old
