From Within

The peace we seek

needs to come from within

Behind Masks

We live behind masks

never really knowing

who we are

Taking it in

We need to stop what we're doing from time to time

and take in the world around us

What's Within

Our world reflects what's within

Their Future

Youth know only the future we make for them

Passing Storms

Remember that growth requires rain

and that the storms of life will pass

Into Oblivion

The moments of our lives

recordings that fade off

into oblivion

Planting

Planting is more important than cutting down

otherwise we've got no future

Far

Imagination can take you far

Direction

We all have choices that give us direction

Simple Pleasures

Simple pleasures are best enjoyed with friends

Taking Chances

Life's all about taking chances

Mother Nature

Nature should never be underestimated

A simple life

A simple life

where we can just be

awaits those that see

beyond meaningless strife

Simplicity

Pleasure is best in simplicity

Good Aim

Reaching our goals

requires good aim

and steady hands

Moving

Life is nothing more

than moving

from here

to there

Portrait

With brush in hand

we paint the portrait

of our lives

Calm, Cool, Collected

Music will calm the soul

Beyond Deception

Dreams will take you beyond

the deception of others

No going back

There's no going back to the way we came

forward is the only direction we can move

Below the Surface

Below the surface

of our daily lives

is a world

of possibility

Hard Work

Great feats begin with imagination

followed by hard work

Let it fly

There's much to do and see

if we but let our imagination fly

Behind the curtain

The mystery remains

even when the curtain is pulled back

there are great forces at work

that we'll never understand

Words and Deeds

We hang onto the words

and deeds of the past

building our world upon it

Strange

Strange is the world we make for ourselves

Making Meaning

Doubt not the craziness of humanity

instead, make your own meaning

and your life becomes your own

Safe Harbours

There are safe harbours

to shelter us from storms

we need but seek them out
