Rain

The rain chases away my thoughts.

As I watch the world close its eyes,

Deep in sleep they dream,

But sweet slumber avoids me tonight.

These streets hold many memories,

Their lasting legacy of sadness, happiness and youth filled dreams,

Crash around my head.

They lose their radiance a little, the more I walk them,

But brilliant vivid the memories remain.

Amiable rain, teach me how to walk amongst these dreams again.

Show me where the shadows lie so I can avoid the folly.

Let me reach the road that leads home.

So that I can see the warm glow of family from the window,

It’s warm orange light behind the closed curtains, deep beyond the nights reach.

With the rain falling on my pretty dress,

I stand outside, a silhouette in moonlight watching my mother’s shadow.

The path with its pink bright flowers leading the way to the door.

That world I know no more.

Let me be her again,

That little girl who knew so little,

Yet understood so much.

Let her teach me the things I forgot.

Sweet fragrance of the night time world.

Its secrets hold so many wonders.

Deep in sleep they weave their dreams.

And in slumber deep I see the world within.

Night Star

With every breath I remember,

With every word I recall, and with every step I wonder.
As the wind calls my name I listen for its whisper
And watch the breeze flash across my skin.
Each moment is a step in a new world and every utter takes me to new places.
I have seen things that I can never forget,
But each memory brings me to a new place,
And no matter how hard things get I have the strength to cope.

I share my thoughts with the moonlight as the stars give light to my ideas.
As night turns into daytime I cross from light to darkness.
But as my eyes close I see things for what they are.

Whispering trees catch the thoughts from my mind,
Bringing peace to my ever wondering thoughts;
With each step I get closer to peace and with each breath I get closer to the one.
If only I had the words to describe what wonders I have to share.
For now I’ll just be content with the moments that I have.

Now the daylight steals my tears and the dreams they begin to fade,
And today I will awaken anew, with a promise on my lips.
I will wonder this cloud forever watching out for those I love,
But for now I have my own temptations to banish,
And my own diamond star to conquer.
