Oh Sister of the Lake, quench this fire that rages through my veins!
Brother Wind  please dry these tears that come from the pain.
My soul is on fire  and I see no relieve in sight,
Mother Earth please give me a place to hide.
I have curled  up in the arms of Cousin tree,
told him of my fears and what in my dreams I see.
Nephew Robin  listened and tried  his best to calm,
yet  as I closed my eyes the fire raged on.
Oh Sister of the Lake, is there help here for me?
Let me take a breath and lay here in your arms,
perhapes with your cooling touch , perhapes the flame will be gone.

So many things I want to show her in my life.
So many places  she hasn't seen.
All the things I have taken as normal in my time.
These places for her are an odyssey.
Foods from the far and exotic lands,
Things folks now see on TV.
I have eaten these as normal  day of life,
she wants to to really see.
So many years now I have put pennies in this jar.
The jar that should  bring this to a reality.
So with this dollar I fold a little note.
"Be sure to see for for me."
Chase that lobster with no claws
right across the ocean floor.
eat civichi with the natives at night.
Drink *** and coconut from the  core.
Watch the sting rays do their mating dance,
let the howler monkeys make you laugh.
Take each step as I have done before.
Make each memory last."

Ever try and find something, something really needed?
Find **** near everything else, except what your seeking.
I needed to find a letter ,  all legal and all,
I have found  enough other things to start my own mall.
There's that old collector *******, I could have sworn was taken by my son,
I'll have to apologies to him, I got that one all wrong.
Found the deed to the land, I had to go and file a new,
hell who knows what I'll find , mabey a dollar or too. Na.
Found the long lost pacifier, well it was really hid,
man  it took along time for Brande to get over it.
I should show it to her now and see if there's still a connect,
ok , mabey not  I know how touchy pregnate women get! Smile
So finally I find the letter, man  I thought was lost.
So I'll try and see the appoinment man , hope  this letter was all.
Smile

Listen, listen with your heart and you will hear.
...................
A whisper...faint...clear.......
soon  a promise of love, a gift....soon.....
time is  drifting all so near.

Feel with your eyes ..... see the gift.....
the gift that the whisper promised to give...Smile

This is a melody in my head...want to hear it?

If we could work it out...there is no need to shout..
we are both really saying the same thing.
You dont believe...that what  is here is real..
you still say that your better of without.
I just cannot believe, after all you seen of me,
that you still stand there with your doubt.
Ok , we wont work it out..you slammed the door and went out...
another night with me here with my head.
Voices ringing on, mocking all the wrongs, taunting me to stay here
like your fool.
Fool, left all alone, wondering why I go on, just let it go and try
to find a happy end.
Yes , to be happy once again,
laughing with my friends,
being the kind of fool that I can really  get into.
Dancing on the floor, let my engines roar,
laughing in to the on coming wind.
....just a melody I had in my head. Want to hear it again?

She had arms that could hold me tight,
lips that take you to paradise.
A rock and roll heart that has to party
all the time.
She knew how to make you smile,
smart in the ways of making you
wonder why.
An expert on making the blues come around.
Some always try to get to her best side.
Think they have a chance just because she smiles.
I stand back , I know the truth.
She held me once , oh so tight,
sweat from our bodies cooling in the night.
That was before the blues rolled around.
Yes that was before ..........the blues rolled around.

Hello Walls, I am home.
No echoes from my keys,
I must still be alone.
Wow , Walls there is something different about you.
Did you change your corners? You look different, you do!
So how was your day?  Oh well that's cool.
Me? Oh I am just glad the day is through.
Have you eaten yet?Oh , well that's fine.
I'll cook myself something. No I don't mind.
Good night Walls, it's been a long day.
No , I dont' mind if you stay up. Really, it's ok.
