The Meadow

As time flows by without a prayer,
Everyone around me doesn't seem to care.
All that I care about is seeing you there.

In a meadow just you and me,
There is no sadness, only glee.
If only time would seize to be.

There are no dark clouds, only an endless blue sky,
A beautiful moment that makes us want to cry.
We both kiss each other without care.

Underneath this endless sky and in the meadow,
I'd like the whole world to know.
That we are forever together and nothing more.

Lost in the Forest

In the forest I found myself in,
Looking around in search for something...
Or someone...

Lost in mind and lost at heart.
I stopped and looked up to see an unless sight
the trees completely eclipsing the sky.

Feeling alone never felt so hurtful.
Still no one in sight.
I decided to stop and sleep.

I had a dream of you and only you.
Of how I'd find you at the end of the forest,
And how I'd love you even more.

I finally found the sunlight at the end.
And there you were...
Standing and holding me.

I never felt so loved in my life.

Light in the Same Lens

I see not through differences,
But in sameness.
We're all humans,
So what's the issue?

Do we not bleed red?
When we scrape our knee,
Get a paper cut, or shot?

Do we not breathe the same air?
The life that we are given by the sweet
Oxygen-filled air that fills our lungs.

Do our hearts not beat the same way?
With every pump of the heart we are given life.
With every pump we give love.

Sameness in this sense makes us human...
What makes us different is our choices in our environment.
Being human is making mistakes to learn from them.

What purpose is there to hurt each other with actions and words?
We all hurt the same way.
We all feel the need to belong.
All we want is to be loved all the same.

Don't Let Go

Truly for K.J.S.


Out on the streets
In the broad daylight
I want to hold your hand
And when I do...
Please don't let go...
Because you are keeping me from falling apart.

When you leave to go somewhere
Whether it be near or far
I want you to hug me
Embrace me in your warmth...
Please don't let go...
Because I need to feel that you are real.

In the bedroom
On a cold night with the moonlight
illuminating your face.
I want you to hold me tight...
When you do...
Baby, please don't let go...
Because you might be all, I have.

When the morning sun greets us
Through the window
I want us to sleep longer
When we do just that...
Please, baby, don't let go...
Because that's the way, it's supposed to be.
