The Hill
Sitting aloft
Gazing below
People of all types going below
Snow falls from the skies
Adding to the endless scene of white
Puffs of powder dot the hill
As people turn for a thrill
The end nears as I set myself
To launch off the chair
Out of sight
Into the unknown
To the drop
The wind flattens my coat
As my nose goes numb
Flying faster and faster
Cutting each turn to ribbons
Up and down my knees go
As my skis float over the snow
Into the air as the earth stops
Then back down in a puff of white
The bottom is in site
Turning bigger I slow
Until I am just gliding on the snow
Gazing below
People of all types going below
Snow falls from the skies
Adding to the endless scene of white
Puffs of powder dot the hill
As people turn for a thrill
The end nears as I set myself
To launch off the chair
Out of sight
Into the unknown
To the drop
The wind flattens my coat
As my nose goes numb
Flying faster and faster
Cutting each turn to ribbons
Up and down my knees go
As my skis float over the snow
Into the air as the earth stops
Then back down in a puff of white
The bottom is in site
Turning bigger I slow
Until I am just gliding on the snow

Winter
The leaves fall
Covering the earth in a fiery blanket
The mercury falls
Bringing out coats and hats
The crisp cold wind
Whistles through the now empty trees
Bringing forth the new season
Flowers are dug up and brought inside
Leaving the yards bare
Just as the green grass is covered in white dust
Turning it brown and yellow
The clouds roll over shading the sun
And small white crystals begin to fall
Floating, swirling, twirling they go
Blanketing the earth in white snow
Children run into the yards
Leaving little foot prints sunk in the snow
To cope with the ever dark world
People sing and make good cheer
Trees and lights are seen all around
And holiday music fills the air
Families draw together to light the candles one by one
As the children squirm until its time for gifts
Couples lie benethe blankets
In front of the fire
Then all the children go to sleep
As Saint Nicholas flies down the chimney
Leaving presents nice and neat
To be opened at once by morning
The snow still lays on the earth
As families travel to join themselves
As people cut down the mountain sides
And as cups of hot chocolate are drunk
Snow forts are built
Kids zip down hills on sleds
And couples glide on ice
As the season begins to warm
The snow melts
And the leaves fill the trees
The grass begins shoots new sprouts
And the clouds part
Letting the sun thaw the earth
Letting Spring begin
Covering the earth in a fiery blanket
The mercury falls
Bringing out coats and hats
The crisp cold wind
Whistles through the now empty trees
Bringing forth the new season
Flowers are dug up and brought inside
Leaving the yards bare
Just as the green grass is covered in white dust
Turning it brown and yellow
The clouds roll over shading the sun
And small white crystals begin to fall
Floating, swirling, twirling they go
Blanketing the earth in white snow
Children run into the yards
Leaving little foot prints sunk in the snow
To cope with the ever dark world
People sing and make good cheer
Trees and lights are seen all around
And holiday music fills the air
Families draw together to light the candles one by one

And the clouds part
Letting the sun thaw the earth

Inside
i’ve never known who i really am nor while i ever truly know
i see other people passing by me
living their lives in our crowded world
there are millions of us
yet there is one of us
nobody cares
nobody listens
all they do is walk on and talk on
young couples holding hands
i blink my eye and they are apart
i see old couples married and happy
i blink my eyes to see them smile
why do we torment ourselves for these short bursts of “happiness”
when all it leads to is pain
i see her walking by
dragged along by another guy
she never sees me
in my corner
crying and crying
i think i see a glance
but its only a look to my fake image
i see other people come to me
for me to lend my ears to their woes
we all are lonely
our lives are wrecks
and people are evil
peoples feelings and stories run constantly through my head
repeating over and over
for others i am their healer
but to me there is no one
nobody cares to listen to me
or to hear my thoughts
instead i see those people walking past
while i sit in my corner crying and crying
i help all
i heal all
i hope for all
but all does not include me
for in their eyes i am nothing
i am just here and there
a little thing to talk to only when they need help
when they can’t talk to their “friends” because they wouldn’t listen
my ears sting with the evil that spills from peoples mouths
my heart throbs with the grief life hands to me
my eyes burn as everyone walks by
my eyes burn as she walks by
being pulled along by another guy
i sometimes wonder who i am
who i was
who i will be
i sometimes wonder if anyone will ever listen to me
i sometimes wonder if anyone cares
or if its all a game
a great game playing me as a pawn
to feel noticed is a gift to me
a rare gift
because inside i want to be loved
i want to be listened to
because inside i need someone
i need her...
“perhaps the most difficult choices to make are the ones that deny us the things our hearts yearn for
because as it’s been said "without reason nor prudence the heart wants what the heart wants,
and more often than not it will not be denied"”

The Reflection Lake
Wind in my hair
Water below me
Just me myself and I
Floating across the lake
I look around
To view the vista around me
The untouched mountains
Trekked upping by only hikers
The clouds floating aimlessly in the sky
Nowhere to be seen
Are people with a schedule
Nowhere are the cars or trucks
Beeping and honking
Just plain bliss
Everything is still
Or moving slowly
I sit and reflect on my life
Thinking of what I've done
Where I've been
I think about who I will be
The next time I'm here
I think about who I'll be with
The dock closes in and i snap back to life
I jump out and hold the boat
I tie up and walk up the path
To return next year...

When You've Given it All
When you've given it all
For nothing at all
When your heart is gone
And is no longer with you
You stand on the ground
Staring around you
Wondering what should you do
She still holds your heart
And she does not know
It will always be with her no matter the distance
All you can do is search for a piece
So that you may walk again
So you may love again
Begin stepping one foot at a time
To leave the spot where you stood for so long
Retrieve the missing pieces
And start anew
To give it all again
And to gain it all
For nothing at all
When your heart is gone
And is no longer with you
You stand on the ground
Staring around you
Wondering what should you do
She still holds your heart
And she does not know
It will always be with her no matter the distance
All you can do is search for a piece
So that you may walk again
So you may love again
Begin stepping one foot at a time
To leave the spot where you stood for so long
Retrieve the missing pieces
And start anew
To give it all again
And to gain it all
The Golden Rule
This world that we live in
Is so messed up
So backwards
So turned around
There is never a safe place to live
We fight each other
We abuse each other
We torment and ruin each other
We kill each other
Why do we do things
We would never want to be treated like
Much of what we do is permanent
It will never return or comeback to it's owner
Or it will comeback to us
And haunt us till we die
Why do we
Fight each other
Abuse each other
Torment and ruin each other
Kill each other
For the sake of self pride
A pride that means nothing
A pride of lies and wrongs
For strength
Strength for our egos
For what
I'm all ears
We treat our fellow brothers and sisters like scum
Ripping apart theirs souls bit by bit
While our own corrodes and melts
From the acid of our actions
Today I read the news
Just to have my day ruined by sorrow and pain
Our world is a world of pain
And no one is trying to stop it
We just carry on thinking someone else will fix it for us
While we continue
Fighting each other
Abusing each other
Tormenting and ruin each other
Killing each other
A bird one told me
That a life is only lived once
And you never want to make a moment bad
And she said " treat others the way you want to be treated, and you
will be treated the same"
I'm sure a similar bird told you too
But you did not listen then
I'm telling you now
Listen learn and do
Rid the world of man made pain
Follow the golden rule

Living a New Life
This year
This year alone
Has been a story
Like no other
Walking through fire
And under water
Punching through the wall of lies
Being in a constant time of night
Feelings like pain sorrow anger
Flowed through me and out
This year has had so much
Has had so much of me
That I have become a new person
I live through a new focus
I can see myself growing up
To be who i am to be
Old friends are new
New friends are old
Waving goodbye one day
Waving hello another
My page is almost blank again
Just a few memories written in ink
Ones that I will live on with
But I am writing again
But this time it is not with ink
Nor is it in pencil
It is in friendship and love
Through my memories I will write my story
I still have those moments in my mind
That i shared with the people who i waved goodbye to
Yet they are short and fleeting
So ill say my thanks
Take my bows and be gone
Gone to my new life
Where the sun is rising
This year alone
Has been a story
Like no other
Walking through fire
And under water
Punching through the wall of lies
Being in a constant time of night
Feelings like pain sorrow anger
Flowed through me and out
This year has had so much
Has had so much of me
That I have become a new person
I live through a new focus
I can see myself growing up
To be who i am to be
Old friends are new
New friends are old
Waving goodbye one day
Waving hello another
My page is almost blank again
Just a few memories written in ink
Ones that I will live on with
But I am writing again
But this time it is not with ink
Nor is it in pencil
It is in friendship and love
Through my memories I will write my story
I still have those moments in my mind
That i shared with the people who i waved goodbye to
Yet they are short and fleeting
So ill say my thanks
Take my bows and be gone
Gone to my new life
Where the sun is rising
Us
We don't know who we are yet
Or where we will go
Who we'll meet
Or what we'll lose
All we know is who we have been
And what we are right now
Our lives are just beginning
Learning growing exploring the world around
Our minds are still young knowing nothing at all
Yet we act like kings and queens
Who are we
Us kids
Us teens
Who do we think we are
Who will we become
Or where we will go
Who we'll meet
Or what we'll lose
All we know is who we have been
And what we are right now
Our lives are just beginning
Learning growing exploring the world around
Our minds are still young knowing nothing at all
Yet we act like kings and queens
Who are we
Us kids
Us teens
Who do we think we are
Who will we become
The Wheel of Life
Round and round goes the wheel of life
Spinning spinning out of control
Going through the ruts
Flying through the air
Where's the driver
Where are the controls
Why can't We stop or slow down
We just keep spinning and spinning
Down that long And winding road
Never to look back
Never to return
We are all on the wheel
And there are no brakes
Round and Round goes the wheel of life
Spinning spinning out of control
Going through the ruts
Flying through the air
Where's the driver
Where are the controls
Why can't We stop or slow down
We just keep spinning and spinning
Down that long And winding road
Never to look back
Never to return
We are all on the wheel
And there are no brakes
Round and Round goes the wheel of life
By Tomorrow's End
Today we are together
Laughing dancing playing
Talking and sitting together
It was so right
It seemed to be perfect
But tomorrows end brought a new life
Why did this have to happen
Where did it all go
All the places we’ve been
All the people we’ve faced
By tomorrows end
You and I will be gone
It will be me
It will be you
Never again you and I
By tomorrows end
We will have passed
Moved on
Gone away
And not look back
Laughing dancing playing
Talking and sitting together
It was so right
It seemed to be perfect
But tomorrows end brought a new life
Why did this have to happen
Where did it all go
All the places we’ve been
All the people we’ve faced
By tomorrows end
You and I will be gone
It will be me
It will be you
Never again you and I
By tomorrows end
We will have passed
Moved on
Gone away
And not look back

All You Touch and All You See
All you touch, and all you see. Is all your life will ever be....
Live your life by your own rules
Be in this world as who you may be
We are all different in different ways..
Walk this earth everyday
Touch this earth every second
Touch it with care for it only lives once
One step off the trail
Forever kills where you have stepped...
Look around you
See what the world stage is performing
Is it a comedy
A romance
A tragedy
Or is it all that and more...
Everyone of us is responsible for who we are
Every step we take changing ours and others lives
What we see is all we will ever see
All we touch is all we will ever touch...
So let us make what we see
Be what we want to see
And let make what we touch
What we want to touch...
Live your life by your own rules
Be in this world as who you may be
We are all different in different ways..
Walk this earth everyday
Touch this earth every second
Touch it with care for it only lives once
One step off the trail
Forever kills where you have stepped...
Look around you
See what the world stage is performing
Is it a comedy
A romance
A tragedy
Or is it all that and more...
Everyone of us is responsible for who we are
Every step we take changing ours and others lives
What we see is all we will ever see
All we touch is all we will ever touch...
So let us make what we see
Be what we want to see
And let make what we touch
What we want to touch...
White Blanket
We leave little prints behind us
As the snow falls to the ground
We walk hand in hand
To the top of the hill...
As the snow fills in our tracks
We are surrounded by a white blanket
Gazing onto the scene below
Of a town snug under a white blanket
We sit arm together not saying a word
But knowing what the other is saying...
Why only at this time the earth is quiet
Why can't it be this beautiful always
Why can't we be together...
The snow continues to fall
Gently landing on our faces
The white blanket continues to cover us
As it is just you and me
Together you and I
Under a white blanket of snow...
As the snow falls to the ground
We walk hand in hand
To the top of the hill...
As the snow fills in our tracks
We are surrounded by a white blanket
Gazing onto the scene below
Of a town snug under a white blanket
We sit arm together not saying a word
But knowing what the other is saying...
Why only at this time the earth is quiet
Why can't it be this beautiful always
Why can't we be together...
The snow continues to fall
Gently landing on our faces
The white blanket continues to cover us
As it is just you and me
Together you and I
Under a white blanket of snow...
Train Tracks
Empty and quiet
I trudge along
Away from my home
I trudge forth
On the tracks of light
Away from my life
Away from the dark
I want to be free
I want to live life
That's why I'm free
That's why I left you
Those chains that held me
Were too weak for my spirit
And I broke free...
I left there, and I left you
Because I wanted other things
My life wasn't true
Now I am as free as can be
Following these train tracks
And I can see
I can see the lights...
I trudge along
Away from my home
I trudge forth
On the tracks of light
Away from my life
Away from the dark
I want to be free
I want to live life
That's why I'm free
That's why I left you
Those chains that held me
Were too weak for my spirit
And I broke free...
I left there, and I left you
Because I wanted other things
My life wasn't true
Now I am as free as can be
Following these train tracks
And I can see
I can see the lights...
Lets Make A Wish
Let's go
Sit out in the field
Sit together under a warm blanket
Let go watch the shooting stars
Let's go make a wish...
Make a wish for anything
About anything
For anyone
For under that stary sky
We sit, laying wait
To see that one falling star that has our wish
To open your heart out to the world
Is a very difficult thing
But when you make this wish
Let it not be for you
Let is be for someone else
Somewhere else
Or let it be for the world
Let it be for peace, love, life
Make a wish but not for you or I
Let's go make a wish
Out in a field
Surrounded by silence
Looking at the night sky
Let's go make a wish for the world
Let the wish bring joy to the world...
Let's go make a wish
Let's go make a wish tonight...
Sit out in the field
Sit together under a warm blanket
Let go watch the shooting stars
Let's go make a wish...
Make a wish for anything
About anything
For anyone
For under that stary sky
We sit, laying wait
To see that one falling star that has our wish
To open your heart out to the world
Is a very difficult thing
But when you make this wish
Let it not be for you
Let is be for someone else
Somewhere else
Or let it be for the world
Let it be for peace, love, life
Make a wish but not for you or I
Let's go make a wish
Out in a field
Surrounded by silence
Looking at the night sky
Let's go make a wish for the world
Let the wish bring joy to the world...
Let's go make a wish
Let's go make a wish tonight...
Watching Over Me
Up there in the sky I know
Is where you are
Walking from cloud to cloud
Not making a a sound...
You are my guardian
Since you left
I've been wandering
But I have never been lost
You have brought light back to me
You have kept me going
You are up there watching over me...
Is where you are
Walking from cloud to cloud
Not making a a sound...
You are my guardian
Since you left
I've been wandering
But I have never been lost
You have brought light back to me
You have kept me going
You are up there watching over me...
Dream Away
Dream away my friend.
Dream of all the world.
Dream that there is peace.
Dream that there is love.
Dream away my dear friend
For these things will never happen.
We are all too evil.
We have spilled the blood of siblings.
Burned the hearts of man.
For this is what we are.
Dream away my dear old friend.
About having a meal to eat
About water to drink
About clothes to wear.
For we have destroyed our lands
With blood from words and bombs...
So I say to you my wise old friend...
Dream away...
Dream far away...
Dream away my long gone friend...
Dream of all the world.
Dream that there is peace.
Dream that there is love.
Dream away my dear friend
For these things will never happen.
We are all too evil.
We have spilled the blood of siblings.
Burned the hearts of man.
For this is what we are.
Dream away my dear old friend.
About having a meal to eat
About water to drink
About clothes to wear.
For we have destroyed our lands
With blood from words and bombs...
So I say to you my wise old friend...
Dream away...
Dream far away...
Dream away my long gone friend...
Fortress
As the story of my life goes on
Every little thing
Goes into the mix
I gather all the strength and courage
And I gather all my time...
The first brick to go down is the heaviest of them all
I pile them up higher and higher
Till I can't see the other world
Now inside my wall I live with myself
Trying to make harmony
There's a garden here
And a little house
And nobody here but me...
I can hear the people talking on the other side of the wall
They are talking to me
Trying to break in
And set my soul free
But my hatred an strength have built it too strong
And now nobody can come in...
As time goes on
Weeds replace the flowers
My shelter is no more
I can't bear it anymore
The time has come that I want out...
I took my mallet and walked towards the wall
I took all my courage and took all me strength
I took that mallet in my hand
And the wall came tumbling down...
Every little thing
Goes into the mix
I gather all the strength and courage
And I gather all my time...
The first brick to go down is the heaviest of them all
I pile them up higher and higher
Till I can't see the other world
Now inside my wall I live with myself
Trying to make harmony
There's a garden here
And a little house
And nobody here but me...
I can hear the people talking on the other side of the wall
They are talking to me
Trying to break in
And set my soul free
But my hatred an strength have built it too strong
And now nobody can come in...
As time goes on
Weeds replace the flowers
My shelter is no more
I can't bear it anymore
The time has come that I want out...
I took my mallet and walked towards the wall
I took all my courage and took all me strength
I took that mallet in my hand
And the wall came tumbling down...
Two Words
Thank you...
I'm sorry...
I do...
Its amazing to think
To think about two words
To think that two words could mean so much
You can make someones day by saying two words
These two kind words
They express our gratitude
Not through materials
But through the heart
All you need to say is thank you...
The world could be at peace
With the saying of two simple words
There would be no more wars
No violence
No hatred
All by saying I'm sorry...
Two words can be cement
The cement between two people
With these two words the lines following a person's life
Intertwine with another line
And become inseparable
All from saying I do...
Think of those two words and be sure
To make someone's day
I'm sorry...

Bring peace
Or intertwine your lives
Just by saying two words

Coals and Ashes
I have risen up
Out of the hot coals of anger
Out and up from the ashes
The ashes that held me down
And kept me at the boiling point
Yes i have risen up
I reach my hands up and out
To try and feel the new world of
Cool serenity, and peace
Everything feels nicer smoother
More giving
My feet carefully step forward
One miss step and I fall back
Down into the fire, into the heat
Now I can see this new world
My friends are all here welcoming me
Brushing off the ashes
I have risen up and now I have
Found my ground
But there is still a coal In my pocket...

Skeletons
Standing tall
Bare naked
Missing their leaves
The trees of winter stand
They cold wind batters the skeletons
And the ice clings to and breaks the limbs
But the skeletons stand strong
The snows provides a thin blanket
As the land of the skeletons turns white
There all still there still strong and still standing
The winter thaws
And the skeletons begin to grown again
Light green robes begin to be stitched to the limbs
And the skeletons are no longer
The skeletons are people...

Friend II
What is a friend
Who can be a friend
There is you and everyone else
Who can be a friend
There is you and everyone else
Your best friend could be a complete stranger
But all it takes is a moment
And you can feel as though you have known that person for your entire life
A friend could be your greatest enemy
Or your best friend could have yet to be born
You never know, all it takes is a moment...
Or your best friend could have yet to be born
You never know, all it takes is a moment...
Autumn
Orange red yellow and brown
The crisp air all around
The sun shines clearly
Autumn is the change
The change in the earth around us
The change of us
School is in
And families are together again
Kids big and small dress up for Halloween
Then we all sit down and gives our thanks
Give our thanks for all that is here
For the beautiful trees that are ablaze
At the end the ground turns cold
But there is still warmth ahead...

Forgotten Souls
Gone
No longer here
Are they truly forgotten?
Are they just there?
Meaning nothing to us?
No they they are here
Not forgotten
He is a son, a brother,as friend, a lover
She is a daughter, a sister, a friend, a lover
I know I will not forget to remember the forgotten souls...will you?

Not My World
There are mountains that I have climbed
Roads that I have road on
Paths followed
And sights seen by me
But none of these things are mine
They are not my world
They our ours
We climbed those mountains
Road on those roads
Followed the paths
And seen the amazing sights
They are all part of our world...

Life
Like a twig it is strong
Though it is weak
Our lives are the most fragile of things
And there is always a storm
Trying to snap it
Though it is weak
Our lives are the most fragile of things
And there is always a storm
Trying to snap it
We go through our day to day lives
Happy, sad, or angry
The small things that we do build up
They build up to the point that the twig snaps
And our lives begin to fall
Everything around you is breaking
Everything around you is changing
And right before you hit the ground the wind comes
And carries you
But the wind leaves you too
and you break in pieces
You are hoping praying that your friends will come back to fix you
And one comes
Then two then three
Keep those three close
For they will never leave
No matter how hard you shake
Keep them close
And soar through life on a new wind
A Guide
I am quiet as the weekend makes it final act
I cant seem to think straight
My mind is a pit of thought, whirling, swirling around
Thoughts about friends
Thoughts about family
Thoughts about life, and people
But nothing really fits together
Like 8 different puzzles mixed together
I can only fit two or three pieces together
What is wrong with life
Its so so dark
I cant see in front of me
I'm stumbling forward
Blindly to fate
I wish i had a light
Someone to guide me...

Cool
Popular, cold, awesome, wicked, sick, what ever you want to say. We
are always looking at what is cool and what it hip but nowadays we
never take time and look at ourselves and our friends, to notice how
totally uncool we really are. The Beatles once said "it's a fool who
plays it cool, by making his world a little bit colder" we have
blocked our parents and our elders, ignored common sense, just so we
can be "cool".

Love or Like
As children we tend to experiment with love or "like" as we say. There are children, teenagers who have gone through more relationships than they can count. Others have never had one. There is a reason why there are these polar opposites, it because of Love, not Like, Love. The people who had the many experiments didn't love that person only liked them. Then they break away and move on to another person. Then the people who have never had a relationship, haven't had one because they haven't found the one person they truly Love. They aren't willing to spend their time with useless experiments when they only should need to conduct one in order to find the answer. I find myself in trouble being a teen, because I am one of the people who only looks for the one I love, and when I tell that person it scares them because we have been brought into a world of Like.
Love
Held together by the smallest of threads but the strongest of all.
Love is what we as humans call our emotion for another.
Love is the pent house above friendship.
Friendship though is stronger
It can endure breaks and is simpler to repair.
It's roots can be deeper than loves and often won't have steps to the pent house above
Because it is unique and different.
Many friends have tried those small weary steps
But many have fallen down.

Wind
It is the calmer of spirits.
The peaceful serenity of nature
Bringing forward warmer and friendlier times
As it whistles through your ears
It is gently cooling and refreshing you
The long grass ripples with the waves of the wind
And the birds glide effortlessly in the air taking their time and relaxing
Trees waver in the wind, they loosen up and just sway to the waves
Wind is the calmer, is the carrier of fresh air, and of warmer friendlier times

Rain
Rain
The sorrow of the world and heavens
We are humans
We are real
And life isn't perfect
There are the bad times in life
We can't stand to stand
Crying crying crying
Till we cant cry any more
The bad times are when we let the tears flow
When we cry into anther's shoulder
The tears trickle down
And the sorrow soaks into the earth
The good times are the times
When we smile
Smiling, and crying tears of joy
As we dance together on the floor
And our friends watch
We just smile to each other
And cry to each other...
All these tears
All these experiences
They all soak down into the earth
And make their way to the heavens
Where they fall back down too us
To remind us of the bad and good times
And that life is still worth living
The rain may remind you of a very sad time in your life
But you just need to look around you
And see that there is still happiness and joy
Still with you and around you
As the rain falls back to earth
it collects all of the new memories
New memories to fall on another day...

Sometimes Things Happen
Sometimes things happen, some better some worse. In life you get your
fair share of both. You have times that seem to last forever where you
are stuck in a perpetual state of happiness. then you have the times
that you remember, those times are the sad times, the times where you
had to make a choice, the times where you learned about a divorce, a
lie. Life in the end is the biggest bitch stabbing in your back. If
your life is nothing but good, then life does not exist for you.
I my self have experience both the good and the bad times. My life
has been a roller coaster, from my happy childhood days at the tip of
the hill to the bottom of the hill where my parents divorced when I
was 11-12 years old. I survived my early teenage years because of
friends. From there I have been crawling forward with my life, and I
have talked to only one friend, a friend who has never left my side.
My heart was broken to millions of pieces and so was my integrity.
But that friend had the tools to put my heart back together, but this time stronger.
Sometimes things happen, but what happens afterwords is what counts.
As the rain falls onto the desolate earth life continues it's dark and
evil race, but it has competition and It too is named life but it is
light and just.

A Friend
A friend is not a person you talk gossip to, not someone who
you just run into once in awhile, a friend is not someone who would
turn on you and destroy you. A friend is one of the rare people who
you can talk to about anything, a friend will let you cry in their arm
and comfort you when comfort is needed. A friend is a person who will
stay at your side forever.

Magic In the Air
"That was so tangible, all around there was happiness, joy,
celebration. As I walked hand in hand with my most beloved, we walked
gayly out of the movie theater and there was that feeling, the feeling
that something special, lovely, magical was in the air that we
breathed. Small little clouds of steam puffed out of the mouths and
noses of the people around us, and yet for us it was not the case, it
was love flowing between us and wrapping us in a warm blanket. You
might think this is all too good to be true but it gets better"
"Down the wide open avenues to the heart, there we stopped,
surrounded by the beauty of Rockefeller center. High above glistening
with lights was the Christmas tree and around were other joyous
couples skating around us, with us, then it happened, in my head I knew
it was time, and out from my back pocket came a red velvet box
yearning to be opened. Down on one knee I recited the phrase ending
with..." "Will you marry me"? And she said "Yes"!
All around came applause and congratulations when looking around
again, I saw other boys, men or what ever we were, following my lead
and there was a chorus of "Will you marry me"? es and "Yes"es all
around with us in the center. Then it couldn't have been more perfect!
A kiss of all kisses! At that very moment I saw a single pair of
snowflakes gently touchdown on our noses and then it started snowing
as if we were in a movie. Down the wide open avenues we strolled, now
with completely new lives ahead of us. Hopefully much better lives,
where sadness, pain, and jealousy will never be a problem...that was
then what will now be?
Snow is falling from the skies, this is when kids wear
inside-out PJs and some have put spoons underneath pillows. As for me I
look out my bedroom window, the world I know blanketed by mother
nature in a thick white sheet of snow.
Under the street light there is a new couple being made around
them swirling snow and a blanket of love he gets down on one knee and
pulls out the little box and recites the lines ending with " will you
marry me" followed by the ever so exited " yes", now the snow swirls
faster around the two and there they kiss...
This is now that was then...
