21 and two

Let me take the time to see
two weeks in and you were gone
21 is all there is
two weeks in and I'm alone

Gather all the pieces left
save it in a box of hope
that one day they will fit again
21 was all I'll know.

Take away from all this
Show me how to let go
Help me know what love is
Counting all the years gone

21 just two weeks in.
21 my time was new
21 like yesterday
22 forever you.

Take away from all this
Show me how to let go
Help me know what love is
Learn to bring it back home.

Hold me up and guide me now
Take this weary soul of mine
Show me how to carry on
I can see there is no time

21 and dieing
21 and born again
21 and alive
21 and two weeks in.

The Journey

I watch the Moonlight dance across the shadows
Giving life to the darkness showing the magic of night.
The hands of the clock steadly move across the face of time.
Making moments last forever and pass away just the same.

We are dust constructed in a magnificant play.
A drop of water in an ocean and an ocean in a drop.
We live a complex play of the simplest life.
Find love and happiness in darkness of doubt.

Hope is but a thought we no longer understand
Love but a goal we place out of reach.
We want someting to die for and die trying to find it.
We set our eyes on the horizon and over look the first step.

So take my hand and enjoy this dance of uncertainty.
Feel the wind, the sun the passion and love.
Shed your tears and share your smiles.
We will reach the horizon, the goals, the future.
But I promise when we are there you will miss the journey.

Try

The flesh is so weak
The heart is so fragile
Time is so fleeting
on the edge we stand
looking for answers
we threaten to jump
scared of the future
tethered to the past
Leading us blindly
still holding my hand
inside we're burning
don't dare make a stand
Forgive me now Father
for I think I've sinned
don't know the reason
but I'd do it again
Still seeking knowledge
from the pages of old
no one knows the writer
yet billions are sold
So follow him blindly
and don't ask again
you're future is written
so why even try.
