Welcome to my page dedicated to Night..
He sits in a ship
floating on to eternity
as wave by wave goes by
going on a trip
searching for the next opportunity
his dreams just want to fly
He's the savior,
the messiah,
and your every desi'
He's not one to bore
just one to soar
He's the guy we all long for
the fantastical genius
sitting on the ship
that hasn't left the shore.
-----------------------------------------------
To reach
oneness with self
To be
whole with all selves
To ask
for more
To want
it all
To never get to see
beyond the wall

Beyond the shore...

To push beyond
To help
each wanderer find their way
To care
with a heart of gold
To love

To be that bold

To cry so many tears
hoping to wash away the years...
-------------------------------------------
He sits in his ship
along the shore
He counts the grains of sand
and recounts the days of yore
His wisdom bright shining
His words so tender, so pure
Such brilliance
and such genius he holds
He knows he's meant to sail
He knows he's meant to soar
but its there he stays
in his simple boat
on a simple shore.
---------------------------------------------
How does one tell the tale?
Does she tell of the heartbreaks?
of the abuse he had to feel?
of the war he experienced?
or of the fears he never faced?
of the pain he endured,
each time another soul,
went away,
went beyond the shore...

flew away ...
away...

Perhaps the tale is simple
he loved,
he loved again,
he hurt,
he shed one more tear,
his soul he would share
his heart so bare
but, oh, how to wash away the years?!
----------------------------------------------
Alone in a shell
braced for everything,
even hell
He hides in there
and you know he's real
but still you fear
that he'll never again feel
to shake the binds
that hold us all
to just let them fall
and hope that he finds
something worth caring for
you know he's seen heaven
you know he's experienced hell
and you know he could sail
but there he reamins
safe in his shell.
