The Perfect Injustice:
 
I know this alluring cloud
She sparks lightning in her own darkness
She reflects angelic brilliance
She releases soft tears in her gray sadness

Hanging over head she lingers and listens
Absorbing as if a sponge the world from off my chest
and then quite calmly unleashes her own sadness
Crying gentle tears onto my shoulder and this truly touches my soul.

Tears of sadness drying we are merged to this place
Pushed and carried by the ill wited wind
Souls connected as one on the mountain peaks of time

When we meet, I am in awe of my own wonder
I gaze into her lowered beautiful face
My desire is to touch the silky surface that haunts and taunts me
I hold my self very still - not breathing
Resisting the urge...controlling my hands to stay at my sides

For this would disrespect her
Spark her electric fury
And unleash her icy tears upon my waiting soul
And then cause her to vanish forever without a trace

Or so my fears tell me and warn me of this ill fate
This is my only one true secret
Forever instilled buried and lost on my tongue's tip
Never to surface ever past my lips

Our much to brief encounter ends
As I move making my way down
Giving a sigh and begrudging this farewell
I proceed hesitantly and swallow my anguish inside

I reach the ragged bottom to find
The cloud is still above me
and moving us together and apart all at the same time
we continue our voyage

Glancing up I see feel and long for her brilliance
The silver cloud in the whispy blue sky
The sun finding shelter in her softness
And me feeling jealousy for this magnificent star

For who am I to compete with this godly sun?
I ask myself who am I a mortal soul!
The sun and his brilliance dancing with the light of life
And asking myself why the cloud holds him so dear?

TOUCHING SHOULDERS
 
 
There's a comforting thought at the close of the day,
when I'm weary and lonely and sad,
That sort of grip hold of my crusty old heart
And bids it be merry and glad.
It gets in my soul and it drives out the blues,
And finally thrills through and through.
It is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain:
"I'm glad I touched shoulders with you!"

Did you know you were brave, did you know you were strong?
Did you know there was one leaning hard?
Did you know that I waited and listened and prayed,
And was cheered by your simplest word?
Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face,
For the sound of your voice ringing true?
Did you know I grow stronger and better because
I had merely touched shoulders with you?

I am glad that I live, that I battle and strive
For the place that I know I must fill;
I am thankful for sorrows, I'll meet with a grin
What fortune may send, good or ill
I may not have wealth, I may not be great,
But I know I shall always be true,
For I have a life that courage you gave
When once I rubbed shoulders with you.

The Only

I want to be the one you think of always
The one you dream of in your sleep
I want to be the one that wipes away
The tears on your face when you weep.

I need to be the one that holds you all the day
And sleeps next to you at night.
I need to be the one that knows your pains
And knows when everything's all right.

I should be the one that gives you things
So you won't have to ask or take
I should be the one who says the sweet things
And keeps the promises I made.

I love to be the one that you talk to
When nothing seems to go your way.
I love to be the one that you call
When you need to hear everything’s OK.

I ask to be the one that you love
For all the days to come
I ask to be the one...
The Only One

THE WAITING

The simple touch of your ways
Makes my life complete
Do you understand that you make me feel?

Your life light encircles mine
Brightens all my days
By giving light you help me grow

You know that I will wait
Dreams can come true
Let life bring rain, clouds, and madness
but we will remain the same

Problems will come to our lives
But we will conquer these barriers
that choose to be in our paths

Distance will part and hurt our lives
Crying will come as sorrows are shared

I wait to return to me -- and you to return to you
Our lives remember are one
The connection so strong and understood

Waiting is the hardest part
I hope you understand the gist
of waiting alone......
