The Journey’s End

 old and new, I’m here waiting for you

over the hills and under the sun

waiting for you as life has begun

waiting for you as long as we’ll be

waiting for you as you waited for me


again we go together my friend

through these woods as deep as our sorrows

we’ll travel this way into each day

through mountains and glens til tomorrow


gilded and golden, sapling in green

dusty and dark, light with a spark

colors abound throughout our journey

filling our hearts at all we’ve seen

making us age at every stage


we’ve dreamed all of life's majesty

in the oceans and ponds and what lies beyond

footsteps echoing on the hard ground

voices fading out til they have no sound


we arrive here where we started before

each of us the same yet now we've changed

one of us lives and cries and cries

the other lies down in this cold ground

and closes her eyes


dusty and dark, light with a spark

we’ll travel this way into each day

through mountains and glens til tomorrow

The Fourth Riddle

  The Fourth Riddle I’m a whisper on the wind A thought held deep within Imprinted on your bones I won’t ever let you go I know your name I don’t forget anything By design, I hide The truth from sight Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it I’m embedded in your mind Entrenched inside How do you sleep each night? Worried they’re nearby This train is a one way trip But did you want a ticket? Oh, you can’t get off Until the end of the line Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent You can still deny it You are a prisoner of mine A prisoner in your mind I won’t ever let you go I control everything I’ll follow you to the grave Shhh Don’t talk

Be Someone

When I shut my eyes And hold them tight The colors flash In my head so bright A whirlwind swirls The ocean’s waves A tide that’s fierce The sun’s sharp rays I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Each day unfolds Going through these motions Attempts to care To be sane and well Not in a self-made hell Tired and spent Cracked and dry Lines forming on my hands Around my eyes I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Can you be someone Will you be enough Should we stay this way Too distant and far away Am I still the one You love Are y...
