Praying For The Light

I know that I believe,

  never sure of whom or what that is

 

I know that I can see,

  never sure of what’s beyond my sight

 

I’ve heard your pleading heart,

  never sure of how that makes me feel

 

As I stand inside this shadow waiting

  —praying for the light

Now—Then

When did the global depression

  begin

 

When did the leaves start to

  wither and fall

 

When did the answers start questioning

  themselves

 

When did the love vanish that springtime

  recalls

 

Now, every method begets nothing

  but madness

 

Now, the rotten pudding harbors proof

  deep within

 

Now, every deal is dealt straight

  from the bottom

 

Now, disowned and orphaned

   —the truth cowers in sin

If The Moment Repeats

If you want to accomplish something,

  stop talking

 

If you want to get somewhere,

  start walking

 

If you want to be someone,

  stop wishing

 

If you find your table bare,

  start fishing

 

If the door remains barred and closed,

  knock again

 

If the meaning lags behind intent,

  yourself befriend

 

If the sentences won’t start or end,

  reopen your heart

 

If the moment repeats again the same,

  with love—restart

That Missing Link

A step ahead

A step behind

The motion foreign

The distance blind

 

To look then forward

While looking back

The moment flounders

The line goes slack

 

The past—the future

Regret and hope

A sun now darkened

Your shadow gropes

 

A step ahead

A step behind
That missing link

  —still yours to find
