Journey

Sitting on the edge of the moon
lost in the fog of life,
nothing seems easy,
nothings seems right.
Now the waves are around me,
I'm swallowed by my sea,
I become a bird, and now I fly free.
With the touch of his hand,
my wing he's clipped,
from who's cup of life do I now sip?
Spill me out to find myself,
I'm a frozen puddle on this ice shelf.
Drip by drip I'm gaining ground,
where have I been? who have I found?
Incessant cycles, what have I done,
I've lost myself, is this fun?
With the ground beneath my feet, I run,
where did the moon go? Where is the sun?
My blood is rushing, I can't catch my breath!

Why am I chasing me and where is Death?
Into me, Death breathes life.
I tear my skin, cut the rest out with her knife.
Back on earths plane is where I must be,
Lamenting the pain, how much can one life stain?
In a Neptunian of people, lost in the beat,
dancing to the rhythm, can't stop my feet.
Untying my binding, he's setting me free,

I grow like a flower, I'm as tall as a tree.
I begin walking, feet planted in the ground,
stumble upon myself, without making a sound.
Sad to see me, a sigh of relief;
lead me to the path, I've lost my beliefs.
Turning my neck to follow the sun,
I'm swallowed up and under the gun.
A pillow I'll need to rest these troubles,
they float away in this cup of bubbles.
Sorting through my salty sea, I kneel to God...
"Help rescue ME!"
The madness swirls overhead,
I'll make this sandy patch my bed.
Apollo is on my face and Mercury whispers in my ear,
"Steal the bull, live this life without fear!"
Body misshapen, weightless I rise,
feel like a cloud, can't control my size.
Where is the moon, I'm lost without the stars.
This sun is blistering, leaving his scars.
Peal my skin back, I'll find another,
repair this heart, a fire I can't smother.
Alas we have met, so many places I've searched,
may I rest upon your perch?
Together I sew my soul and flesh,
don't want to loose her, save me the distress.
Now I have answers to my questions unknown,
I know it's right, I can feel it in my bones.
This Journey I've been on, so many call life,
has left it's scars, and mental strife.
Saved from myself with help from no other,
only God can take what none can smother.

Giacomo

Smiles and joy filled the air,
together everyone met, for a great pair.

Laughter was carried on every sound,
little did I know, my soul you found.

Together we danced that night,
you knew it was time, gave it no fight.

Watching your soul leave this plane,
My heart sank and my mind went insane.

No help could I offer, heart raced with pain,
how much of this am I to attain?

Choking on my sadness, holding back the tears,
as the minutes passed, I was filling with fear.

Every laugh I played like a tape,
every smile I wouldn't let escape.

I prayed to God, let his big heart beat,
we all need him, he knows nothing of defeat!

...he called for you, we had our last dance,
now the music stopped, everyone frozen in a trance.

....sitting in the window, just under the moon,
wondering why he took you, why'd you go so soon.

My cries he choose not to hear,
can't stop the sadness, can't hold a tear.

He wants to hear your laughter, have you by his side,
thought he'd send you back, over that great divide.

In the clouds he kept you, so far above my reach,
head in hands, wonder what lesson did he teach?

I hear your voice, it's carried in the breeze,
my heart stops and I buckle at the knees.

and so it is,

I walk this earth looking for what he has taken,
knowing in my heart it's forsaken.

My body feels what my eyes can't see,
how is this possible, how can it be?

And so I close my eyes...

Let the memory of you fill the room,
we dance on a cloud and this time it's under the moon.
