The Great Beyond There is no right way to face death shall we say Some look to tears to conquer their fears or get down on their knees and pray For most, #life's long and prosperous But for others torrid and disastrous But no matter who you are, no matter what you believe. Keep your mind clear and your heart wide open for #life will set you free So if you live for ever or if your #life's cut short If this is your final moment in #life I leave you with this thought. Never fear the great beyond and that step into the unknown. Be brave my son, stay strong, for you are not alone

The Love We Once Knew The small faint aroma of the lavender dew. The crisp cold breeze on the face I once knew. Stiffly pursed lips that belong to the earth. Padlock emotions for all that they're worth. Icicles melt, dripping drops of pure infatuation. But those drops are visions of our loves evaporation. The leaves turn green with that the winds of change. And a look into your heart with feelings so strange. A #life without you, leaves my heart torn and bare. But to remain with you when our love is all but there? The long quest for love, to not be on your own. But to feel lonely with someone is worse than being alone. The deep blue in your eyes where love did once fill Replaced by black daggers dressed for the kill From this point on I seek more from #life than pain and loathing So goodbye to you, your chapter in my #life is closing.

Set Yourself Free There's no guide that shows you how to love Nor a manual that teaches you how to live The people we meet, the promises we keep To those we know and those we don't Each to our own but not one to us each But does this make you stronger or does it make you weak To stand on ones own, as you turn the other cheek Those lucky in love, do they know of their luck? Casually drifting through #life as their fortunes mistook But never mind all that my #life is my own Over time I give in to powers unknown The forces that be unleashed inside of me But am I too blind to see.......that they have set my love free

Opportunity Of Choice To walk or to run In the rain or the sun With desire or with passion Or the strangest of fashion To give or to take To make or to break With fight or with mercy Or pray thee is not worthy To stand or to sit To say this is it With a laugh and a joke Or a drink and a smoke To tell the truth or to lie And let #life pass you by With the risk to be bold Or to never take hold To love or to die With a kiss or a sigh With the vision to see That #life's up to me

Live For Today What excitement does the future hold. Happiness, sadness, ones #life to unfold Creating a path into the distance Holds key to #life, ones whole existence But to plan every move you will always foresee, The outcome of the story for you and me From love to death you can never expect, Spontaneity and #lifes zest to ever take effect So is it wise to always look ahead? Or to live for the moment until you are tucked up in #life's bed Each to their own or so it would seem But my happiness is now and the memories that have been.
