    double six

    Life’s a journey, age is just a road sign
    Take a step
    Take a breath
    Love someone
    Love yourself
    Be present
    Be you
    Life’s a journey, age is just a road sign

  • lucky love

    For I’ve always been in love
Some may call that
A character flaw
For being a little too
Emotionally dependent
But, I’ve always been in love
I call it lucky
To have found
Deep meaning
In another
And I’ve always been in love
I feel pity for those
Who don’t understand
How just a memory
Can bring you to tears
Because I’ve always been in love
And this day
As with every day
I call myself lucky
To also be loved
That has made all the difference

  • turning pages

    reading my life like a book
    turning pages so fast it’s a blur
    that makes my head spin
    and scarcely gives me time to wonder
    what just happened
    to another year

    chapter and verse
    for better or worse
    here I am

    each page written is the last
    one I can barely read with blurry eyes
    yet what is around the bend
    keeps me foraging and wondering
    what is coming
    with another year

    chapter and verse
    for better or worse
    here I am

    the story is of loss and love
    and triumph and defeat so glorious
    that the protagonist and antagonist
    merge in a Gemini sort of way
    standing together
    to face a new year

    chapter and verse
    for better or worse
    here I am

    unfinished, the end is unwritten
    and perhaps the climax is not past
    As I wade for inspiration
    in the lost and found of muses
    turning the page
    to this new year

    chapter and verse
    for better or worse
    here I am

  • dbc

    With every breath
You make the world pure
With every step
You make the path true
With every beat
You make music dance
With every pun
You make laughter groan
With every prayer
You make God a friend
With every plan
You make home a treasure
With every smile
You make hearts warm
With every pain
You make heroes real
With every tear
You make hope rise
With everyone
You make love clear

  • new

    Stepping into new light
Like walking through a waterfall
Leaving the cave behind
The water washing over all
Rinsing the old away
Bringing color to a dusty world
