is the best yet to come?
when does it feel like we’ve won?
all arrows point to my feet in the sand
a lovely understanding friend
and gentle rests in the sun
and my heart
when does it heal?
can it do so while in pain, still?
the wait feels slow
but i’m not sure it’s time to go
when the moment doesn’t yet feel real
this time
i won’t rewind us
until you are loving me
the way i remember
it went down
all those months ago
i’m gonna leave it
right here
let it flow
and just like that
you walked away
your life continues
it’s already a new day
i had not prepared
you were at goodbye so fast
so,this is how you go about it
with me already in the past
bring it back
that quiet look
the silence in the knowing
please me once
without thinking twice
with your care growing
i miss you
in those moments
when my world is upside down
and your calm presence
would hear me out
when you’d take some time
to listen to my noisy mind
and offer wisdom
of a balanced kind
I look ahead
to the brightest of days
I open my eyes
to the sun’s rays
letting it soak into my mind
that this one stays
Oh let’s see where such promises carry us
and where it goes
and how steadily over time
my trust grows
you are speaking
and i’ve stopped listening
time is moving
it’s almost over
and i’m gonna remind us
take the time to unwind us
lean back, and be us
hold you close and love us
the rabbit in the moon
means the world to you
and the man that filled you with love
leaves grief in his wake ;
and you are beautiful
so very beautiful
the way you share his qualities
in your every day
coming in closer
and i don’t remember
what the world looked like
when i backed up to see
if you heard me
when i said what
i liked
a voice keeps reaching
my ears are listening
and i can’t remember what it felt like
when i told you stories
you used to remind me
of later in the
interim
woman
have mercy
your words have a kind of touch
my mind is reeling
my heart is feeling
and you just sighed
looking directly
into my eyes
please, don’t cry
(chorus)
ask me for attention
well, i’ll give it to ya
call me when you’re worried
i’ll listen to ya
Came upon these
open flat plains
and they took
me back to better days
of easy love
and simple things
that sun went down
my eyes looked up
and i could recall all
the good things in my life
sometimes i’m so happy
drifting me away until
i can’t feel my face
where were the tears
that broke my heart yesterday?
and i can’t find my sadness
these days
but i know i didn’t give it away
lean back
try to lean into it
sometimes feel
out of my mind
will i make it out
of all that is old and new?
lightning is shooting across my eyes
and the ground is moving
where will i fly?
“Do you not fear me?” he asked
and I did
I feared him so much
with awe and respect
that I bent my knees to him
if i could have said anything
it would have been to
“push, say it, be brave.
don’t let the moment pass us by.
do not hesitate.”
when you saw me
and you wondered
you should have thought
yes she wants me to
even when you didn’t know
tell me
how to love you
and i’ll meet you
right where you need me to
show me
what is okay
what is exactly
the amount i can do
i will laugh out loud into the universe
pray on my knees to My God
lay my words upon His feet
ask him to make a diamond out of me
there’s nothing left for anyone
that carried or held or loved
so much investment of my heart
and here it lays full of dust
silly little girl
wanted everything
and she cried at night
and the hours between
and cared only if she was seen
i am full of them
they come pouring out
like droplets of rain
slow and steady
and then all at once
a downpour
the torrent
the rolling storm
