The Music isn't in Me
The music isn't in me
the words I can't contain.
I have so many questions
the answers yet remain.
Do you need to know things?
Or do you float on by?
Need to know the reasons?
The if's, the and's, the why's?
Can you unlock the secrets?
Can you find the clues?
Where does the story lead you,
If you go beyond the Hows and Whos?
The quest is not for everyone
In fact for very few
but it piqued my curiosity
If one of them was you.

Let IT GO
A Way to end a Decade
A place to leave a mark
the thought of looking backward
To reflect, to fill your heart.
Remember but a moment
Then revert your focus inline
the past though fondly remembered
can only be lived one time.
For a glimpse of what made us
the road traveled to where we are
A path in which we walked on
The path that made our scars
Remember your journey,
Your road trail or path
The lessons that it brought you
the imprint on your soul they cast
A journey is what you make it
you decide the baggage you stow
Gather what you can handle
Take the rest and LET IT GO.

How Does it Work
How does it all work?
What exactly makes it tick?
The momentum behind the motion,
is the Fire to my Wick.

Clock Ticks
Day turns to night . . .
Light fades to dark . . .
Noise dissipates ..
Silence does not repair ..
We wait ... ... ...
Clocks tick ..
Seconds turn to minutes ..
Minutes into hours ..
Tick tick tick ..
Count the Mississippi’s..
And wait .. .. ..

When stuck inside ones head
The darkness hides the light
Encompassing the good things
Encouraging the urge for flight
The demons were all masked
A cushion for the pins
Of questions never asked
Happy is the facade it doesn’t last
Shine a light upon your soul
What shadow does it cast
A hint of happy remains
The sadness of reality
Courses through our veins
Struggle through the days
When stuck inside ones head
Encompassing the good things
Encouraging the urge for flight
The demons were all masked
A cushion for the pins
Of questions never asked
Happy is the facade it doesn’t last
Shine a light upon your soul
What shadow does it cast
A hint of happy remains
The sadness of reality
Courses through our veins
Struggle through the days

Joy
Joy has left the building
She packed up and moved away
I can’t help wanting to follow suit
It’s too unbearable to stay
It’s not a single thing
A compilation of acts
The fight has gone on too long
Let’s just present the facts
The details will just bore you
Don’t feign that you care
Demise is what’s inevitable
The fight was never fair
A burden placed upon her
The weight gave the strength
But beyond the smoke and mirrors
The fight can’t match the length
Know you’re not a saviour
A keeper of the smile
It’s just that iron curtain
Gets heavy after a while
A life spent pretending
Distracting with intent
Look at the shiny objects
Until you feel content
A life seems like it’s wasted
From the outside looking in
The engines now on empty
The lifeblood running thin
Take all the thoughts that matter
And put them on a shelf
A collection of the happy times
It’s the sum of the wealth
Joy left the building
The bitch just moved away
Not sure you can keep her
Not sure she can stay.

Untold its still a Story
Not all words can be spoken,
no matter the content.
Untold it's still a story,
a series of events.
Actions can speak volumes,
there is no trust required.
Words can seem like lip service,
coating the rhetoric in which we're mired.
The beginning is too painful,
the middle is just wrong.
The end’s the thing in question,
is the story short or long.
A life is saved with kindness,
knowing someone is there.
An idea you can cling too,
when you forget somebody cares.
Sometimes it doesn't matter,
the pain is far too strong.
To overcome the darkness,
they've been fighting far too long.
Don't take it so personally,
It isn't about you.
The pain just overcame them,
they didn't know what else to do.
A story can end swiftly,
lacking reason or rhyme.
For unless you are in the fight,
you can not gauge the time.

6 Years
Five yrs came and went
The Ink marks the date
A rocky road we traveled
The keeper of the gate
The Ink marks the date
A rocky road we traveled
The keeper of the gate
The focus blurred the message
of lessons meant to teach
The examples that were set
Did not match the preach.

The skills are learned behaviors
Of actions more than words
For proof as in the doing
Not following the herd.

A decade ago
A decade ago, or maybe three and a half
A couple of kids, hung out, just for some laughs
A wineskin, a party, a walk to a car
Who could have guessed, it’d ever go this far.
A couple of kids, hung out, just for some laughs
A wineskin, a party, a walk to a car
Who could have guessed, it’d ever go this far.
Bread runs, frozen breaks, singing on truck rides.
Time spent on the road, where there is no place to hide
Broken bones, road races, camping by the lake.
Bike rides, quad trips, Our lives been pretty great.

The outrigger to my canoe, the sand between my toes.
The path that is less wandered, does lead us where we go.
Thankful for the memories, although they are far from done
Never forget, what's important like the Race, which I Won!

Makes it Dub Trey
Who'd a Thunk
we'd see the day
From races ran
to places lost
been worth the price
At twice the cost
Had some fun
seen some things
Even though
we had no rings
Pick a path
stay the course
Living a life
with out remorse
I never knew
you were the one
I promised to stay
til it was no longer Fun.

Globe Cafe
Think back to the beginning,
In the Globe cafe'.
With DMac Touc and Wildy
and all the hours wasted away.
From that moment forward,
our lives have been entwined.
Through all that madness,
we found some ties that bind.
The hours we've spent laughing
or crying on the phone.
No matter what was happening,
I knew I was never alone.
On your day I salute you ,
as this year comes to an end.
Of all the things I call you,
The favorite is Friend!

Friendship
Friendship
is like a plate of cookies,
Left out,
free to take!
It can cost
you nothing,
It’s your
choice to make.
You can
stand and gorge yourself,
Until they
are all gone
You can sit
there wondering,
Where it
all went wrong
Look back to all the cookies
That were
placed out on that Plate
It’s when
the dish is empty,
That you
decide your fate.
Do you choose to nurture,
And share
the love you bake.
Or do you
go search elsewhere
Perhaps looking
for cake.
Stand in
that buffet line
Get all
that they make
For some
it’s about the filling
For others
it’s all about the take
Some come
to conclusion
Based on
the decisions others make.
Just don’t
long for cookies
After you
choose the cake

They Say ~
Be kind to one another,
It’s empathy they preach.
Kindness in small gestures,
That’s surely in our reach.
It’s not about a candidate
Or who was voted more
Today the world went backwards
Lost some values from its core?
Intolerance, is a distraction!
For the fear that lies inside.
When really, we should be minding
The spaces in which, we reside.
Don’t buy the propaganda,
Your soul is not for sale.
Division begets conquering,
We know the end of that tale.
If you can’t stand for your beliefs,
Without knocking others down.
Perhaps the issue is closer to home,
Never mind who the country crowned.
To defend an action,
That is not your own.
May just leave you standing,
Casting others stones.
Be kind to one another,
It’s empathy they preach.
Kindness in small gestures,
That’s surely in our reach.

Please Stay
If you have contemplated of suicide, on this your life
depends
There’s many ways to end it all, how will your means meet
ends?
Have you considered those who’d find you. or how you made
them feel?
Have you really felt the feelings, before you make this
real?
Do you wonder if they'll think, it was payback time?
What if they miss the point, think you are making the light your lime?
Under all the bravado, I know the pain is true
Under each mask, there is a newer you
Under the bridge, a final resting place
Under your skin, with in the needles trace
At first they miss you, they put out an APB
If only we could avoid, all this in-sanity
The pain and suffering, have gone full circle now
It’s too late to fix it, too late for whys and how’s
If only you spoke up, or found help on your own
If only we read the signs, or looked past the self you’ve
shown.
Reaching outs not easy, for we're all so self involved.
Sorry can’t fix everything, not all guilt can be absolved.
The pain we bear, becomes a shield, an armor to the world.
A way to hide the ugly truth, a way to keep secrets furled.
The answers never cutting out, or quitting on the game.
The answers lie in fixing you, and protecting others from
the same.
Stand up for you, the way you know how. Let the others be.
For you control the only you, who can be the better me.
What others think matters not, outside the manner rules.
We take our selves too seriously, sometimes we should just be
fools.
Your final act upon this earth should not play out this way
The world will be a better place, Fight back, Please stay.

Compass
Fear is a compass
Scars of a past
Learn to control it
Learn to outlast
Patterns of behavior
Take long to forget
Engraved are the memories
Creating the regret
If Only the happy
Lasted half as long
A warm and fuzzy feeling
Like your favourite song
We let the fear creek in
Until a river forms
Too hard to stop it
So hard to perform
Rise above the madness
and the pain that it creates
Surround your heart with kindness
and those who can relate.
Let happiness guide you
Follow where it leads
Don't wallow in pity
Get out and do good deeds.
The contentment that you long for
Is already contained within
Learning to bring it to the surface
Is a good place to Begin.
Making this your practice
Will enhance pleasure in your life
Fight past the negativity
Rise above others strife.
Let good feelings guide you
to find your true North
When you feel the fear a rising
Pack up and go Forth

Goodnight Mavis
Say goodnight to Mavis,
Its time she got some rest.
She’s been feeling rather poorly,
It weighs heavy on our Chest.
Taken from us quickly,
Although it breaks our hearts.
One of my favorite memories ,
Is how you loved kicking my ass at cards.
At the cribbage table,
You beat us every time.
Even if we tried to cheat,
We couldn’t get Twenty nine.
A heart so big, a smile so bright
You were the real deal.
You faced the world for what it was,
And told people how you feel.
Our broken hearts, will soon mend,
The pain will soon
subside.
We all take solace knowing,
How much you enjoyed the ride.
You loved us each for who we are,
Even those with flaws.
Looked past our imperfections,
Took on the world, as it was.
We’ll always have our Fridays’
You made me feel like kin.
My wish for your final resting place,
Is that it is chock-full of Firemen!
Goodnight Mave I love you
Miss B

Senseless
I stayed up till tomorrow
To wash away today
Sometimes we do with laughter
Sometimes to hide our pain
Senseless tragic acts
Just scatter through our lives
Tossed about like shards of glass
You shouldn't step on twice
We ask all of the W's
The answered aren't shared
They just leave us believing
People turn bad and nobody cared
All too busy chasing things
And playing with our phones
How can we concern ourselves
With other people's homes.
The anger washes over us
At senseless acts like these
Sadly though it settles down
It quiets all our plea's
A life that's gone full circle
Or gone before their time
A momma and her baby
There can't be reason or rhyme
I leave to you to ponder
These thoughts out of my head
As now I'm finally ready
To snuggle in to bed.
Good Night Mavis
I Love you XxX

Today I lost my grandpa
the best one that I had
He left the world at 96
I still feel kinda sad
A man of great honor
Served his country too
A provider for his family
Now what will those twits do
The ones who took advantage
The ones who used you
Perhaps its time they learn to walk
a mile in their own shoes.
May you find peace on your journey
And finally get some rest
And know as far as grand~dads go
You were the very best!!
