    Lullabye

    You're a lullabye
    To my symphony
    Reminding me
    Beauty lies in
    Simplicity

    Less Like A Parting

    Less like a parting
    More like a waking
    From a two-year-long nightmare
    Though there were bright days hidden in dark days
    Part of me longs for you near

    More of me knows you
    Never will hold true
    To your everchaning word
    So content am I
    To this change and I
    Finally feel free as a bird

    You appeared
    When I need someone-
    Anyone
    You were my lesson to be learned
    And then you
    Disappeared
    When I needed someone-
    Someone new
    When my lesson was finally learned

    Three?

    I think I'm falling for you
    And you too
    Though it seems strange to me
    They say this way
    Can be true if I see
    The boundries
    To see the boundries

    It's like a game with the rules
    Enshrouded
    Veiled in smiles and a look
    You say to stay
    But clouded, I mistook . . .
    All that look said
    Was you like the way I look

    I have always been waiting
    For someone like you . . .
    And someone like you . . .
    Now I found you, born of my dreams
    Yet you are not free . . .
    And you are not free . . .

    And I am here lying down
    Feet away
    Wondering what went wrong
    If I should lie
    Should I say your heart song
    Will beat strong? Lay
    Without me in the way

    And now I've fallen for you
    And you too
    Though it seems strange to me
    They say this way
    Can be true if we three
    All agree
    To see the boundries

    Take Me With You

    Take me with you
    So far this day has been so blue
    I want to see a different view
    I want to try something brand new

    [unfinished]

    Dare I Dream?

    Dare I dream my dream come true
    And find my wish within your dance?
    Verily, it seems some dreams
    Exist without the sleepy sun

    So I go, your song to seek
    Journeying, though my hope is weak
    On I go and onward though
    Life's paths now show the choices grow

    In dreams behind my tired mind
    Now I resign to worry's climb
    Awake to find the hope to bind
    Now through all time your song with mine
    Dancing . . .

    Touched by truth my wish comes true
    Or do I dream, dancing in dark?
    Nonetheless, nocturne dreams turn
    Your song more than our dreamy dance

    As I am awakened by
    Some dreams still seen in my mind's eye
    Colors blend as other rend
    Heart yet to send their seams to mend
    Each new friend, their love they lend

    Awake to find the hope to bind
    Now through all time your heart with mine
    Dancing . . .
    May hope remind my dreamy mind
    Ends divine arrive in time

    Wondering

    Some nights I sit and stare
    Silently into the stars
    Wondering when will love
    Wander down my path

    Some days I sigh as I
    Look up high into the sky
    Wondering why can't my
    Troubles fly on by

    Life whirls around me
    Like a spinning carousel
    Blured youth and teenage years
    Fadeing long before I can even tell

    Someone I'd love to love
    Loves another one I'd love
    Wondering where will love
    Find me waiting still

    Sometimes I'm torn in two
    Trying to turn to You
    Wondering what to do
    Sure You'll show me through

    With the Wind

    Sailing through the stars with you
    Dancing through the morning dew
    Seeing through the view anew
    With the wind

    Sailing through the star-jeweled sea
    Running through the forest free
    Singing through the leaves on trees
    With the wind

    Sailing through the stars, I see
    Muddling through the mystery
    Loving through life, happilly
    With the wind

    Seeing, singing with the wind
    Dancing, sailing with the wind
    Loving, running with the wind
    With the wind

    Your Sun

    I'm thinking of a thousand days
    And wond'ring of the million ways
    My heart hurt, now warmed by the rays
    from your sun

    If I could only find the words
    And follow them from far, like birds
    This way I'd wander with the herds
    to your sun

    And now I'm
    Living the love
    I knew I'd known
    Dwelling in dreams
    Beyond my mind
