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 it was cliche
But you still love it.

We'd whisper the song together
Your arms around me
And we would begin to move with the rhythm.

I would wish for the song
For the moment
To carry on for the longest time.

An epic moment
Deserves an epic song
Which brings me to this epic thought.

I could find an easy song
Thats longer than five minutes
But is that really enough?

I could find the longest song in history
It probably doesn't have the right feel
Because I want to make this right.

I'm not very musical
Or else I would do it myself
I could write a symphony to this moment.

Alas, my dreams escape my reality
So I find something that's already done
Trying to make it come across as my own.

The whispers
The movement
The moment.

That's all that really matters
All that leads up to
Up to and including...

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.
