Live for Now

LIVE FOR NOW

Here I am caught between the living and the dead

Walking in a realm I have not visited yet

Oh my, how my imagination can soar

Billowing white clouds covering up the impending storm

My creative heart suffers from writer's block

Blocking out memories it hurts to humor

Awaking a new world where hurting does not exist

Who says you can't have heaven on earth

Who says my life is not my own

I was given free will to do whatever I see fit

This is me this is how I grow

Take a few steps forward

To secure what lies ahead

Take a few steps backwards

To make sure I did not miss a step

You can only speculate the future

Study history so you do not repeat the past

Live for now

Because now is all that is left

Divine Intervention

DIVINE INTERVENTION

  

When the hurting starts to become the comfort

Your mind becomes numb to the pain

If I could forget and replace a memory

With a picture from yesterday

But my heart only feels the emptiness

It has already been trained

I have to relearn that love is faith

And maybe now God might intervene

Not calling out in prayer

For I humbly concede

I know nothing of my own affairs

I could not possibly understand

What I truly need

The Endless Journey

THE ENDLESS JOURNEY

What's your limit

Is there a limit

Can you jump

How high do you want me to go

Can you reach the stars

Depends how far they are

How do you cure the blues

Depends how deep the scar

Is there a road you dare not travel

How could I know until I made the journey

Is there a dream you dare not dream

Only the one I can't reach

How do you know which one you can't speak

I can't until I dream them all

What do you learn from failed attempts

That the rise consists of many falls

So when do you know to call it quits

That brings me back to where it began

I never give up because success has no end
