Be

 Sometimes all you need to do is breathe

Inhale all sweetness in the air

Sometimes all you need to do is dream

With eyes shut tight to all that's wrong 


Sometimes all you've got to do is be

Drown out all.noise with the peace that's within 

Sometimes all you've got to do is walk

Away from worries, problems and all that's not needed


Sometimes all you've got to is love 

So much that is just flows over

And above all that's gone

Washing, cleansing, wiping away


All that was never meant to be

Life takes its turns

 Life takes it turns,  some funny ones

Step back and wait


Till the tides change 

Times you've gotta wait it over


Wait for it to pass

Garner all your strength 


Make the good times cone back 

Sometimes you fell you're lost


But it's not

You're finding yourself 


Your might and strength 

Passing through the rough times


But when you've got friends 

Who've got your back


And a family that loves you so

Rough times done really matter anymore

Dear Santa

 Dear Santa, 


If there's anything I wish for

It's the innocence lost


Gleefully writing all dreams

On a tiny note to Santa


The key was all those things 

That  fit right into a sock 


Dreams so small that Santa can bring

And siblings too,  quite the same 


Thinking of the smallest things 

Chocolates,  crackers, baloons


The joy it brought 

Cannot be explained


Bring back the heart

Before innocence was lost

Break

 Break, that's the word you said

A break,  that's so casual 

A break,  with a single word

You shattered my world

Will my heart ever heal again 

Will I learn to love once more

Is there a price to pay

For the way my heart aches now?

Memories,  those moments we made

Etched on diamonds, they say It's forever

Just want to set fire, and watch that blaze 

No remnants,  just embers 

Of a fire that once was

Now, no more

Here, now, forever

 Do I own land?

Sorry,  my dear

The land owns me


Do I have a fortune in my name?

Sorry,  my dear

I have none, but several names


Why do you say that?

It's true,  so I don't have to explain 

Miss, Mr, Madam, Lady, Sirji, Highness 


And after a breath that refuses,  like freedom, perhaps 

Body, corpse, and we humans can interpret in thousands of languages 


And how do we deal with life?

I'm zero qualified,  when most of my breath 

Is wasted on ways to figure out 

Is it worthwhile?
