Moved

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

Back and forth. 

Two steps forward.

One step back.

This is a silly dance. 

And this is an exhausting dance. 

This is a silly dance. 

So I think I will stand still and wait until I am moved by the music...

Rusty Pearls

I threw away the necklace you made for me.
The pearls were rusting anyway. 
You told me that pearls never rust. 
You said they glimmer and never lose their shine.
You said they stick together and are strong.
You said they are the treasure of the ocean. 

You were not talking about pearls when you said this.
You were talking about me. 

The Next Step

There is a freedom that I want you to know. 
There is a freedom that I want you to live in.
There is a freedom that I want you to share with the world.

And if you never reach it, how will they ever know?

The Year Of

On January 1 you said, "This is our year."
Right after you finished the R in year, the first rock crumbled. 
Then there was a mudslide.
And a nasty storm that washed us all in different directions. 

And here we are in October in the rain and wind. 
Storms are coming, the worst that we will ever see they say.
And all I can say is, "This is still our year."

Faithful

You had this planned all along. 
You were working behind the scenes.
Even when I thought You had forgotten my wishes. 

Almost Done

I am just trying to find a reason to stay. 

Sidewalk Stories

I want to walk away. 
Please just let me walk away.
