No more

we count down our summers

like passing stragers

until we're alone

and they're

no more

Health and Happiness

free your mind, free your soul

it will bring you health and happiness

Baggage

the baggage we carry with us

imprisons us a little more each day

leaving nothing to trust

as we give our freedom away

time grows distant

you'll foget that you've passed this way before

the future just as distant as the past

fading memory all that's left to explore

Until we're gone

our todays and yesterdays

blend into one

as we pass along

out of memory

out of time

until we're gone

Lost Forever

it's good to hear your voice

a moment I can savor

before it folds up in time

lost forever

like all the rest of us

Realm of the forgotten

the future will take everything you've got

little by little until you're broken

just waiting to pass away

into the realm of the forgotten

All that came before

Our past reflected into the days ahead

rainy days pass away

until we forget them

and all that came before

Obscure

The future is obscure

something we can't see

no matter how hard we try

The best we can

the road ahead isn't always an easy one

many detours and stops fill the route

leaving us to do the best we can

Heads in a barrel

don't expect anything from elected officials

other than for them to let you down

they're blind to the world around

in it for power, heads in a barrel

Set things right

We've all been here before

in others lives, in earlier times

passing through once more

we came back to try and set things right

Never Were

when the world loses its mind

the good times fade away

just as if they never were

why so serious?

life is best when not taken so seriously

Carry On

it is nothing more than will

that lets us carry on

in the face of challenge

we can move forward

chin up, smile on

Come Together

look within and you'll discover

 all you need to know

for all that's without will be exposed

leaving the pieces to come together

with just a little help

there's much we can do

There's no magic

politicians sell nothing more than snake oil

there's no magic up their sleeves

just forked tongues tying to make a sale

if you're foolish enough to believe

Melody

life is best measured by the music we make

our days played out in melody

Going away

There's no truth in tomorrow

it's just a passing yesterday

soon to be forgotten

as we go our way

What was

yesterday is buried under the rains of today

a thousand times or more

until there's nothing left to say

nor anything to remember

of whatever was

since its gone away

Learn to see

We stand at the threshold of possibilites

tomorrow a land of dreams

yesterday a world of lessons

it's up to us to learn to see

Conflicted Souls

dreams of change

songs of peace

hopes for love

never came to be

for our conflicted souls

Balancing Act

Life is a balancing act

that not all of us master

We believed

we believed in the future

worked hard to make it so

the days ahead seemed brighter

only now do we know

you've still got to pay the piper

and some seeds just don't grow

Age of deception

the age of deception

there to sell the world lies

agendas to be pushed

maintain power

and wealth

at the expense

of everyone

else

Broadcasts

No politician, nor empty promises

are the key to your happiness

they hold no key to the future

heed not their broadcasts of lies

look within yourself

all you need is there

Keeping Tomorrow

we keep tomorrow

in the corner of our mind

ready and waiting

to take us away

to the land of dreams

On the horizon

The horizon held our future

a destiny far far away

where we could chase our dreams

Transport

destiny awaits those that seek it out

no matter the path they chose to take

nor their method of transportation

World of love

we so blind, destruction our destiny

unless we learn to trust

seeking out the truth

and give ourselves over

to a world of love

and learn to live in faith

News

the news of the day

just distorted views

bits of constructed reality

where what we say and do

are called history

regardless of what's true
