Your Way

Many paths walked

And avenues wandered,

Problems I've solved

And puzzles I've pondered.

A life lived in answers,

But the questions unknown,

The journey is endless

When you continue to grow.

Eagles have eyes,

But the present cannot.

When none know your history

They don't know what you've got.

What you've earned with your efforts

What you've paid to pave the way.

Who you are from your learning,

Where you've been in your day.

Take a page from your future,

Know your ways with a smile,

For where you travel next,

Only you know the miles.

And for the blind present

That knows nothing of you -

It is their disadvantage

When they assume what is true.

A Memory

Delusion,

You sit like a thorn in my mind,

You ache like a muscle torn,

You moan like a whore at work....

Dissolution,

The night is clear as day,

My dark friend went away,

Music brought me absolution....

Performer,

Weave a spell for unbelievers,

Tell a story like a seizure,

Give 'em hell for secrets hidden.....

Singer,

Trapped and born, wrapped in scorn,

Lit by blazes, warped by hazes,

Your throat is now my trumpet.....

Loner,

You were always on the stage,

Unwashed and slightly dazed,

For your mind remains a maze.....

Woman,

Hellbent fury, sound and violence,

Never visited by silence,

It is your sound that heals your world.
