Beauty



There is beauty in this world if you can find it
There’s a light that shines inside the human soul
But we surrender to the darkness that surrounds us
Never knowing we can make our own selves whole
There is kindness in the smile of passing strangers
There’s a message in the words of your life’s song
But the worries of your life, the fear of danger
Make it difficult to simply sing along
All the mysteries the soul tries to unravel
All the secrets that you’re trying to conceal
Make it hard for you to find a rhyme or reason
To the truth you think you’re trying to reveal
Like a pilgrim searching for some hidden purpose
Looking everywhere but deep inside your heart
Always blind to all the beauty that’s inside you
Where the answers having been hiding from the start
Set aside your doubts and foolish inhibitions
And the fears that kept you frozen in the night
See the beauty in yourself and all around you
Moving forward, always walking in the light.

Whispers



Lines keep tumbling through my mind
Like memories in dreams
Somewhere between awake and sleep
Where nothing’s as it seems
Things I’d love to say to you
Verses set in rhyme
Feelings searching for the words
That never found the time
It seems I’m just a step behind
Of where I want to be
Trying to find some sacred shrine
That no one else can see
Yet still those words are out of reach
A song I can’t quite hear
A page that’s missing from a book
That might make things seem clear
So, I’m searching for tomorrows
Still tied to yesterday
With a million thoughts inside me
And nothing much to say
