Take these dreams
Which once were mine
And fashion them with
A new design
Turn them into something
Believable and strong
So that I might finally
Move along
I’m so tired of wishing
For things that can’t be
Open up my eyes
And help me see
A dose of reality
Is what I need
If ever I hope
To succeed

Beauty displays herself
In fragrant wisps
Of thyme
During midday wishes
She’s at
Her prime

A thought
An ember
Long gone
Before I remember
A memory
A curse
Inside my head
It only gets worse
A fantasy
A desire
Images racing
About to expire
An epiphany
The truth
Those memories
Weren’t waterproof

I feel you standing there
Fingers slide across my face
A gentle kiss to my lips
Then you gather me in haste
The moment suddenly shatters
Time barges in, getting in our way
Yet somehow I’d still been convinced
That you would surely stay

When I think about my life
And don’t focus on mankind
I feel such a positive feeling
As I leave the world behind
And I think about the beauty
The things that God has made
And when I give my worries to him
I’m left feeling unafraid
I wish my mind would dwell more
In the places where he resides
For I know I feel most comforted
When he’s standing by my side
But I get lost to a world
Full of rejection and despair
And so I try to fit in
Which doesn’t get me anywhere
But today is a new day
A chance to try again
And maybe this time
I’ll just give everything to him
