The Sound Of The Strings
I sit and play
To the sound of the strings
They take me to a place
of nothing but peace
As the sound resonates
my body feels free
I play for the angels
that watch over me
Inspired by This Old Guitar (For Juan) by Eric cockrell.

Everybody
Quadraphonic sound
of everyone around
voices too loud
voices too fast
everybody in a rush
but nobody making ground
Everybody slow down
before life drags you down
wake up and smell the coffee
lifes not a trial run
this is the only one

A Seamless Life Line
A never ending story
of events
That fall into line
like soldiers on parade
From one event to the next
It's like it was a plan
just to get you to now
From the obscure
to the sublime
everything in life
falls into one
seamless life line

World Of Greed
Subliminal messages
in a world of greed
They start you young
To sow the seed
To get you to agree
to what the powers that be
want you to be
They'll even take your country
if they feel the need
will we ever be truly free
in a world of greed

Dreams Of Death
I dreamed of death today
it felt so real
I was trapped and could not feel
Then I awoke
and thanked god I could feel a cold
breeze on my beads of sweat
I said I aint ready for death just yet
Then I swear I heard a voice say...
We can wait

Every Moment
Every moment
of every minute
of every hour
of every day
of every year
should be cherished
The despair and pain
that we gain
is part of our life path
sometimes we can't avoid it
but we can learn from it
and make every other moment
a joy to live

Keepers Of Your Soul
As you
drift off to sleep
and you feel like
you've just fallen
on your bed
That is them...
The keepers of your soul
letting you know
that your as close
to death as them
Their telling you
to make the most
of love and life...
Before you join them

Cry Of Innocence
Does anyone listen
for the cries
of the innocent
Does anyone care
about the young
and the old
Do we have to pretend
we didn't hear
the babies cry
Do we have to pretend
someone cares for the old
Or do we do something now
For the young
and the old

I Used To Be
I used to be scared
to sleep at night
for what I might see
Until you helped me
see angels and be free
I used to be scared
of the voices in my head
I used to wish they
had left me dead
Until you came
and made them fade away
you made them fade away

The living And The Dead
As the wind blows
Through the spirits
Of the dead
We feel the shivers
Upon our spines
As our souls intertwine
Like ivy through a loop fence
We know we are alive
But could soon be dead
As breathing
Is the only thing
That divides
The living and the dead
