music is the soul's revival,
a universal method
to suite one's emotions.
like a poet, an artist or musician,
releases their inner self, personal thoughts and feel
into a piece for others to relate to.
it is the music that can be felt more than touch.
it is the music we can hear from all over the world, but you see
hearing it is one thing while
feeling it is another.

what whitman taught me

"Take to the open road!"
he said, as he showed me the light
which lit the new world,
for me.

I started writing songs, for him,
the one I'd fallen for.
A verse
"it was like the stars would shine so bright,
only to watch us dance,
under the moon-illumination,
of fate delivering romance"

I have learned that this moment is this moment,
and so we must live for this
right now,
right here.

I started writing a book, yet I continue to ponder the beginning; however,
the ending, this I know.

We were together.
I forget the rest.

elysian

i never thought that perfection was attainable,
until you came along-
that something so serene
yet full of life
happiness
so free
yet so careful
could be within existence
i look at you
I am amazed
in awe
nothing
and i mean
nothing
could even compare to something as beautiful as
you
my love
the sun envy's the way you warm hearts
the moon admires your allure
the stars converse about what it is that your future holds
as do i
promise me
my love
that you will let me love you
because i was meant to find this elysian
i was meant to find you

nature's way

Nature knows her ways
The ways of the world
In the palm of her hand
In which controls our being
The upmost existence of our own
And so we look to her
For inspiration
For answers
For hope
As we fear the worst
As we pray for the best
She carries the weight of the world

coming home

i heard it on the radio
the highway ahead
the backroads behind
few hundred miles to go
so i turned it up
windows rolled down
in my chevy 1983 pickup
i listened
and couldn't help but smile
as i thought of us
baby im coming home
and so i kept it on
as i drove to you

inspiration: Leon Bridges//album"Coming Home"

yesterday's tomorrow

What matters is today,
Yesterday's tomorrow.
It is not what comes of the future
Or what has come from the past,
But what will come of the moment.
It is the beauty in which the world offers
Here and Now,
This very day,
A gift.
There is nothing greater
Than today.
Never mind tomorrow,
Never mind yesterday,
What has been
Has been.
What will be
Will be.
What matters is today,
Yesterday's tomorrow.

take me

Take me to Rome
To the fountain of love
Where all the roads lead
The dream i dream of

Take me to Paris
Where the world paints her muse
An artist in passing
Which path shall she choose

Take me to the city
May be yours, could be mine
Whichever whenever
Either one shall be fine

Take me into town
A nice walk on the streets
Conversations and laughter
New faces we meet

Now take me home
To where i belong
Tell me a story
Write me a song

Take me with you
Away with us in spaces
I love you more than love itself
I thank you for these places
