Long As A Tree

If I could live as long as a tree, can’t believe what I’d see
If I could live as long as a tree, observe the change through history
I’d witness generations of families leave behind their legacy
If I could stand as tall as a tree, look past life’s hostilities
If I could stand as tall as a tree, make a haven for all to be
I’d nourish and protect birds and animals bring shelter and spread fruit and seeds
And I’d reach out my long arms
And learn how to give
Helping others to fend off harm
So every life here can live
For as long as there’s room for me
If I could breath as clear as a tree, exhale the air ‘til it’s clean
If I could breath as clear as a tree, absorb the fumes from gasoline
I’d alter and adapt with the seasons maintain cycles of life sustainably
Firmly planting my roots down
Even though I might creak
And my branches will shade the ground
Swaying free with the breeze
So be sure to make room for me

That Star

That Star
If I keep wishing upon the shimmering light of that star hung up
On foothill’s edge tossed up like coin
Clear my mind and meditate to sacred places so safe
Change enough particles to send
Undulating molecular waves, seismic ripples into the thread
Of everything
And to create desired fate
There is control, it’s time to grip the helm and steer back on course
Of clarity make everything
I’ve ever dreamed as real as sitting here reflective and held
Transfixed in this forever gaze
Never never again will I take anything in this forsaken life
For granted
If I have faith upon that star
That star looked on me as I winked back, oh
That star my new symbol for the universe ‘round me
That star to renew belief beyond my self
That star to keep me safe and help me to find my peace
And from afar across expanse of crystal valley it sat
A shining beacon full of hope
And just like life it will exhaust all energy in time
And say goodnight and burn out bright

Never Say Goodbye
02:30
|

And when I rise to leave my chair
I make it seem that I’m still there
As though I’ll be right back- in a flash
And when I turn to leave a room
I stop and stammer like a fool
Trail off mutter on cue- as I bid adieu
No promise that I won’t return
‘Cause I cannot commit to say forever
But it may be I won’t ever again be seen
And so I’ll never say goodbye
If I choose to move and relocate
Silently I will fly no trace
Nor vestige of my face, just a clean escape
No promise that I won’t return
‘Cause I cannot commit to say forever
But it may be I won’t ever again be seen
And so I’ll never say goodbye
All my possessions have grown too much
And I’ve amassed so much cluttered junk that weighs me down
All the bags fall into place along the way
When I lie my final time in bed
For once I just might get some rest
I’ll not be gone instead- I will just play dead

Christian's Lullaby

Christian's Lullaby
Close your eyes and let sand sprinkle in
Drift away let your dreams begin
Take a ride and journey inside your imagination
And I'll be by your side
Yes, I'll be by your side
So sleep little child
Close your eyes and count floating sheep
Lose conscious thought 'til you fall fast asleep
Don't make a sound and don't move around 'til your dreaming deep
Tomorrow's far away
So far away
And it's a brand new day
Follow your heart and follow your soul
And you'll learn your part and your role
In life, to be loved and love in return
It's all a game to learn
Close your eyes and let love fill your soul
Open your mind 'til you close every hole
Reach for your dreams but never give up 'til you score every goal
And things will work out right
Yes, things will work out right
So fall asleep tonight
Close your eyes and wipe off your tears
Dry them before you drown in your fears
Sail away to oceans and bays 'til it all disappears
There's nothing left to say
No, nothing left to say
So sleep where you lay
Follow your heart and follow your soul
And you'll learn your part and your role
In life, to care and do what's right
For now, just sleep tight
Good Night
