ALONE

Alone..... alone????????? alone you say?????
a journey started, now halfway
look over yonder
a reflection of me
that is what you surely see
alone... alone???????? don't make me laugh
never we
my other half

THE VOICE INSIDE

She has come searching for more of her own
Becoming lost during her travels, she now stands alone
Disappointed, she stands and surveys the land
Looking for someone to reach out a hand
But they are different, not quite the same
They don't approach her, or ask for her name
They won't accept what they don't know
Now she wonders which way to go
In this quest to find someone like her
A voice inside speaks, no more than a whisper
'You are not alone if you believe in yourself 
There's magic inside you much greater than wealth'
Listen to this voice, for it speaks the truth
It has been within you since the beginning of youth
Have faith in yourself, trust in you
The voice inside knows what to do

BUTTERFLY GUARDIAN

Guardian of the butterflies
the keeper of the key
to life's most precious moments
for you and for me.

THE NURTURE OF NATURE

Butterflies dance
Through the dew
The flutter of soft wings
Caress the warm air
The world is awash
With hues of greens and blues
Of a summer's morn
The peace and serenity
Of nature
Feed the soul
Its beauty
A life affirming gift

SOLDIER OF HEAVEN NO MORE

Of all heavens soldiers on earth she was the supreme
And her efforts were about to grant her wildest dream
Once a lost soul balanced in limbo awaiting judgement
Drafted into the service of the lord as her way to repent
Then from heaven to earth as one of God's many eyes
Marking deeds of living souls both the truth and the lies
Divinely her butterfly wings glitter every color under the sun
But the right to raise from heavens soldiers had she won
Glorious would it be flying with an angels gossamer wings
This be her final goal and the very nature of all her dreams
Now standing alone she can be a soldier of heaven no more
For her changing butterfly form tells her what is now in store
Between heaven and earth and between angel and butterfly
She must prove herself worthy now or lose her wings and die
All heavens legions turn from her so truly she stands isolated
But one unselfish act more and to a angel will she be elevated

THIS WORLD OF OURS

Our world is falling deeper into despair
What once we had is no longer there
Man has come and torn it away
Now we fight for it every day
To try and rebuild what has been lost
Our children pay the greatest cost
For nature is not what it used to be
There is much the children will never see
And still others fight to take more from us
If you ask me, it's ridiculous
For without nature what is this land?
Slowly dying by man's hand
Nature is what gives this land life
Yet people cut it deep with their knife
Do they not see the damage they cause?
Will they pay for all their flaws?
Will we ever win this fight?
Stop the wrong and make things right?
Help us mend this world of ours
Or soon I fear it will look like Mars…

DIVIDED?

Is the world torn in two?
Do you think it not whole?
Is the heart not one
with body and soul?

Do you find it naïve
or just uninformed
to view the world
as when it was born?

Perhaps it’s a blessing
to be blinded to fear,
to see without eyes
and to hear without ears.

The world’s what we make it...
whether fable or verity
However we view it,
that is our own clarity.

MONSTERS MOON

There's a crack in the moon and it is my heart
For this my symbol of love has been torn apart
She and I took a walk in the romantic moonlight
But she seemed far away though I held her tight
The moon's magic didn't work for me like they say
Because before the night was over she had ran away
Soft and sweet my words as I whispered in her ear
With the moonlight on my side I had nothing to fear
Now she's at home and she didn't kiss me good night
She didn't even shake my hand she just ran from fright
Lovers moon they say and how its power never fails
Its really a monsters moon unless you listen to tall tales
She didn't fall in love with me she even thinks me a freak
And we were under the moon's light when it was full peak
What more can be done to make her fall in love with me
Just because under the moon a Wolfman I turn out to be
