Day dream
how can a blink change a life?
a simple moment in time
a nod of the head
a crinkle in the eye
a laugh that wakes the soul
and i don't know where my feet are
the footing that was once so sure
has given way
to deep swirling colors
and changes that can't be explained
i reach for the moment
i pray that God will stop time
if only we could stay
if only things wouldn't change
but time marches on
and continues to change
our lives with
another blink
and the fleeting memory is gone
so i shut my eyes
and hold my breath
willing the moment to stay
even if just for the evening
even if just for this day dream
Waking up in color
Last night I went to sleep
with dreams in black and white.
the rain was pouring down the panes
bleeding through the pages
of this chapter called my life
i couldn't find the ending
of this nightmare in my sleep
pain turned into numbness
hurt into haunting
and here we are standing
in the morning sunshine
with the dew on the roses
and the colors shining bright
i feel like singing
or maybe crying
these feelings that i thought were lost
came swirling in again
vibrance and desire
a confusing cyclone of emotion
i just want to breathe and live and cry
but here we are in the late summer sunshine
it's good to be alive.
