Weighted Ride

I'm trying to hold myself up
Against the winds of doubt
Against the weight of loneliness
I am growing weary of it all

There are times
That I want to give up
To meet a sweet release

When the seasons change
My heart always seems to stay the same

I'm doing something wrong
No one seems to want to point me in the right direction
Give me a hint
Leave me with a little more wisdom

The circle I run in
Doesn't seem to have the exit I'm looking for
It's a pretty lame ride
I hope I didn't pay too much for it.

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.

Music For The Moment

I've been trying to find a song To catch the idea of what I want to say Something we can both share. Lyrics to touch the soul Music to bring us together But the question remain. I wanted to find the perfect one The one that says everything And I want to be sure. Will it be too much? Are you gonna run away when I play it? Will you sing along if you stay? It's going to need a moment A moment like no other Like the time I have you alone. I'll rehearse the moment to myself I want to get it right And I'm going to need to time it perfectly. The moments we've shared Haven't been quite right Yet I know the feeling is there. The magic As I look you into in the eyes And I hold you right there. Save that thought I'd say As I run over to the player. I'd hit play And the moment would envelop us That would be it. There you'd take a moment Think to yourself until you're sure It's only a few bars when you figure it out. You'd look back at me As if to say
