Feeling free is having the time and the pleasure to do and to go as you please.

Feeling free is having the pleasure to go without worrying about all the little things.

Free is like, ROARS that life's little promises allow.

I feel like a beast instead of a bird.

Throwing stones instead of worms.

Hiding in a cave, and not rest peacefully in a nest.

Release the beast from inside of me.

Let the beauty come from the heart of me.

Make a sound of sensation from my ROAR.

Make me beast free.

Take me beast free.

Make me beast free.

People do not want to listen.

People do not want to see.

It is the beast inside of me.

Release the beast from inside me.

Let my beauty be, seen from with in me.

Let me make beauty from peace.

I take all of the stones and build a dome.

To crash, to take all of the bad, ugly and break my bones.

Tear down these walls of stone.

Break down these walls of stone.

Change these walls of stone.

See me, just as I would look at you.

Take me, just as I would accept you.

Hear me, just as I would listen to you.

Walk with me, just as I would carry you.

All Good Things...

All good things are what we wanted for our life,

To enjoy a happiness for our lifetime.

All good things are what we enjoyed,

The love we had for each other can only be described as sublime.

All good things are what we hoped to see,

Growing old to see our children have their own.

All good things are what we envisioned,

With each other, we’d never be alone.

All good things made us smile,

A joy that lasted forever.

All good things brought us together,

On what seemed to be a grand endeavor.

All good things for some reason never last,

On May 20, 2005, I lost my best friend.

The days are very long and the nights get to quiet,

Because on May 20, 2005, all good things came to an end.

Read Me

Life is an open book

What a stupid cliché

What is so open about my life

I can’t even find my niche (eh!)

Eager to please

Taking the path of least resistance

Sacrificing my integrity

Just to survive for instance

If my life were a book

It would be in a language no one could read

The paper isn’t even the best quality

And the ink would run and bleed

I wonder what it would be like

For someone to “read me”

It’s a sad story really

Not for it’s content, or reality

It’s sad because the main character

A person with good intentions

Fails to take advantage of his life

And creates a world of tension

For once, I would like someone to read me

To translate the complex language that is my life

To be able to understand me

For now, I must learn to deal with my inner strife

Read me

Just once

If you can

Maybe then I can have some bunce

The Meaning of Life

Alas I have found it

That little thing men search for

They spend their entire lives looking

Never seem to get close

It’s right there, just in reach

But they just cannot see

Alas I have found it

What is it that we are here to do

Why are we the way we are

What purpose is our existence

Are we meant to know

Why do we wonder, what could it be

Alas I have found it

It is so simple

The meaning of life is…

Why should I tell you

I figured it out, now it’s up to you

Maybe one day, you too will see

Life not lived

3 years is not enough time

To start living this finite line.

Our life was just beginning

And now we hope it is not ending.

I am just happy you are still here with me

But sad to see you in pain and agony.

For sickness and in health was the promise I made

I will try to live up to it and not be swayed.

I remember how life used to be

Before we had to face this adversity.

Life was full of possibilities and dreams

Now the nightmare is the main theme.

Our children are too young to understand

Why you fall nearly every time you try to stand.

This has changed all of our lives forever

But with hope it will not change our endeavor.

Even though our lives will never be what he had hoped

We shall always have our ability to cope.

And with our faith in each other

We will be able to take it further.

Our initial dreams are gone

However by lights early dawn

New dreams will come

Perhaps a new life by the dawning of the sun.
