Mesmerized

People see you.
People see you smile.

They see what you wear,
They notice how you act.

Can they see what you feel in your eyes?
Can they find you when you’re up?
Can they catch you when you’re falling?

It’s easy to see the person in front of you.
It’s easy to judge them,
It’s easy to place them on a pedestal,
But when does the dream end?

There are places that you should be at.
There are places that you wish you were at.
There are places that I wish you were at.
Happiness comes in the strangest of places.

The magic of the atmosphere surrounds you.
The magic of the evening embraces you.
And the dreams of Neverland whisk you away into sleep.

Evenings without the bustle of downtown are just for you.
Evenings with the gasp of clean air are saved for you.
Evenings of spring come forward to please you.
So graciously, you wish you could share.

You spin around and wish for a present.
You twirl around and wish you can fly.
You turn your head and look for that someone.
Where?

Washboard Blues

My favourite saying of late Is that I wanna cry. The world has been crumbling around The people The state of affairs The disbelief. I say the words Jokingly But there's a piece of me That would kindly accept A tear... Or two. There have been more days Than less That I could use a reset button. I would start it all again, There are times where I regret Everything. If I wanted to live with no regrets I probably could have done more I probably could have said more I should have meant more. Morbidity Mortality Time... All things weighing me down. There's this sudden end It's coming soon Sooner for some Not soon enough for others But it's coming. If I was to go right now Away Gone Left it all behind... I don't want anyone to think of me After the fact. I don't think many will Some might A passing glance Something to do But I'll be gone Somewhere more To where I'm supposed to be. Africa Asia Europe Or Beyond. I haven't quite decided Yet But I will.

Snowy Interval

Our winter is right around the corner And the thought takes me back To when we found ourselves Last time around In the coldest of days. Even in those harshest of elements In the coldest of all the months I couldn't feel the chill Because between your smile and your words They were the best of days. And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather The storms rolled in I tried to stand my ground Withstand the worst of what it could throw Until I found the peace to know the storm was me. The summer months were devastating The air was dry The sun was unrelenting It was a record year But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew. The leaves have been falling awhile The mind wanders when unchecked Smelling the weather changing Has the heart reeling For another one of those great snowy intervals.

Not Yet

I'm trying to resist It shouldn't really happen I don't even know for sure. It's a good thing Not knowing keeps me from falling Too far from too much.
