You become Your Things

What becomes of rust
Save Dust,
And many broken things
Bare Springs
Are all the things you held
Once they gelled
But time forsakes them now
Lost their wow
So what did they matter see
Now let them be
Look into portrait glass
Once a face of class
Traded for your wretched greed
The Devil’s reed
Rides upon the back of liars’
Unseen fires
Engulfs even the mighty King
Ashes fling
Quiet the lost childe now
Frail but how
He traded his future among lies
No one cries

No Run

Some days the earth spins fast
But  yet  I  hold  no  fears
There's  still time  for things
I hear  the  turning  gears
No  need  to  ponder  on
A  sun  that  has  no  birth
The  morning  yet  fends
From the sun's looming girth
Doors  stay  open  longer
When  on  a  lulling  stroll
No  hurry  beckons  me
Fast  ships  do wreck  the  soul
Ask   me   where   I   go   to
For   that   I   have  no  start
Life's   full   of   mystery
Of  which  I  play  no  part
Warmth and reflections pass
In  tales  like  some  may  do
Even   if   the   world   blurs
Nowhere  must  we  run  to

Sunlight

Sunlight, light me a brighter path
For the one I've come to walk
It no longer shines me on home
The woman who held the candle
She went on to greater whens
To places far lovelier than these
And never have I met a stronger soul
Than to have watched  her fire burn
Praying that I can be half as strong
When my sand does run its course
She was richer than all money could by
Her endless heart was paved in gold
Sunlight, I miss my friend today
For could you tell me where she goes
That I cannot follow, but send her home
Her family, may you comfort them
They need your loving light to see
On a path they must walk anew
The winds of life, they carry us far
Yet always blow us back again
We all must walk our own path
But we don't know how long the road
Will be, Or when it changes sides
Sunlight, Laugh with me tonight
For I want to hear her laugh
My pen strikes hard and fast
As I write through the falling tears
Though I'm sure you know by now
That these words will never do
She meant more to those she left
Than many mean unto themselves
Her heart of lions yet roars in the night
And we hear her voice inside our hearts
Again we're reminded of her strength
We all have places we must be going to
Though we know we'll meet again some day
Until then, we have her shield to arm us
From the long waiting, blistering wind
And her love, It lives on in her children
Sunlight, they need your light the most
Make them sturdy, and bless their hearts
For they will become her lasting legacy
And already they resemble her angelic soul
I know I must go from here this hour
But I don't stumble around in the dark
'Cause somewhere in the dewy dusk
There is a light that breaks the clouds
That lets me know that Heaven
Gained one amazing angel tonight

When I was young, We lived on Beaches

So life moves on from here

And we, the lucky ones

Do ebb with the tide

We sway into the setting sun

Beaches hold our memories

But never hold our hearts

For they belong to another place

One we are still going to

Pick up your feet child

The day is quite young

And your basket is yet empty

 Of things to be found here

The sand makes your feet itch

Long after the games are done

Let the moonlight light your way home

And when you return from here

The breeze of another summer’s end

It will be right before your eyes
