Because I Could Not Stop For Death

September 30, 2019
by x x
Because I could not stop for Death -
He kindly stopped for me -
The Carriage held but just Ourselves -
And Immortality.

We slowly drove - He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility -

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess - in the Ring -
We passed the fields of Gazing Grain -
We passed the Setting Sun -

Or rather - He passed Us -
The Dews drew quivering and Chill -
For only Gossamer, my Gown -
My Tippet - only Tulle -

We passed before a House that seemed -
A Swelling of the Ground -
The Roof was barely visible -
The Cornice- in the Ground -

Since then - ''tis Centuries - and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity -

Lady In Red

June 21, 2019

The Lady in Red

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me
It's where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red, the lady in red
The lady in red, my lady in red

i think no matter where you stray

that i shall go with you away

though you may wander sweeter lands

you will not forget my hands

nor yet the way i held my head

nor the tremulous things i said

you will still see me, small and white

and smiling, in the secret night

and feel my arms about you when the day comes fluttering back again

i think, no matter where you be

 you'll hold me in your memory

 and keep my image there without me

by telling later loves about me 


Is This Love by Whitesnake

I should have known better

Than to let you go alone

It's times like these

I can't make it on my own

Wasted days, and sleepless nights

An' I can't wait to see you again


I find I spend my time 

Waiting on your call

How can I tell you babe

My back's against the wall

I need you by my side

To tell me it's alright

"Cause I don't think I can take anymore


Is this love that I'm feeling

Is this love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

This must be love

"Cause it's really got a hold on me

A hold on me


I can't stop the feeling 

I've been this way before

But, with you I've found the key

To open any door

I can feel my love for you

Growing stronger day by day

An' I can't wait to see you again

So I can hold you in my arms


Is this love that I'm feeling 

Is this the love I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

This must be love

"Cause it's really got a hold on me

A hold on me


Is this love that I'm feeling 

Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

Is this the love that I've been searching for

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN - by Jean Penner

January 31, 2019
by x x

Drifting on wings of an angel,

The stairway to Heaven unfolds,

The steps leading up to a city,

The pathways transparent of gold.

At the base of the ascending staircase,

A Lamb sits soft at the door,

Surrounded by lilies and lions,

Grace has transcended the roars.

The Lamb offers peace in His presence,

Your fears He'll caress like a dove,

The gentle fleece of His body,

Will cover you up in His love.

Then soft as wings of an angel,

He'll carry your cares to the door,

The Lamb know the steps of the staircase,

He's traveled this pathway before.

The bright shining lights at the entrance,

Glowing like elegant gems,

Reflect the love of His shepherd,

As he beckons His Lamb to come in.

All of your burdens and heartaches,

Which the Lamb has offered to bear,

He lays at the feet of the Shepherd,

Whose love has invited them there.

Then drifting on wings of an angel,

The stairway to Heaven descends,

The powerful peace of the Lion,

Waiting soft in the heart of the Lamb.

Mary Did You Know?

December 16, 2018

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?

Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?

This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you

Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?

Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?

When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God

Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?

Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?

The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again

The lame will leap. the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?

Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb?

That sleeping child you're holding is the great I am

Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?

Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?

Oh Mary did you know?

EBB TIDE - written by Carl Sigman and Robert Maxwell

July 22, 2018
by x x

First the tide rushes in

Plants a kiss on the shore

Then rolls out to sea

And the sea is very still once more

So I rush to your side

Like the oncoming tide

With one burning thought

Will your arms open wide

At last we are face to face

And as we kiss through an embrace

I can tell, I, I can feel

You are love, you are real

Really mine in the rain

In the dark, in the sun

Like a tide at it's ebb

I'm at peace in the web of your arms

Ebb tide




All Along the Watch Tower - Lyrics Bob Dylan

July 10, 2018
by x x

There must be some kinda way outta here

Said the joker to the thief

There's too much confusion

I can't get no relief

Businessmen they drink my wine

Plowman dig my earth

None were level on the mind

Nobody up at his word

Hey, hey

No reason to get excited

They thief he kindly spoke

There are many here among us

Who feel that life is but a joke

But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that

And this is not our fate

So let us stop talkin' falsely now

The hour's getting late, hey

All along the watchtower

Princes keep the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the cold distance

A wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching

And the wind began to howl, hey

All along the watchtower

All along the watchtower

SWEET CHILD O' MINE

July 9, 2018
by x x

She's got a smile it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything

Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I stare too long

I'd probably break down and cry


Oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine


She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder

And the rain

To quietly pass me by


Oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh,

Sweet love of mine...

YOUR STORY MATTERS
AND SO DO YOU

April 21, 2018

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
Our hearts filled with sadness,
And many tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one can really know...

FIX ME

February 10, 2018

Fix Me - 10 Years


It's taken a lifetime to lose my way
A lifetime of yesterdays
All the wasted time on my hands
Turns to sand
And fades in the wind
Crossing lines
Small crimes
Taking back what is mine

I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me

So lost for so long
To find to my way
I failed to follow
I'm out of place
Crossing lines
Small crimes
Taking back what is mine

I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me

I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me

I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me

I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me

I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me

I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me

It's nearly Spring...

April 21, 2018
by x x

How can you say you know me,
When you've only seen my skin,
And not the untamed world I hide,
That's growing deep within,
You haven't heard my ribs all creak,
Behind each plaited vine,
Or swum beneath the waterfall,
That cascades down my spine,
You've not been here for long enough,
To watch a new life start,
Or find the run-down castle,
Lying just inside my heart,
You haven't climbed the branches,
That are wrapped around each lung,
Swaying with the breezes,
That come dancing past my tongue,
Don't mark me with your footprints, 
If you plan to leave too soon,
And only know me,
When my plants are all in bloom,
Because the birdsong might be pretty,
But it's not for you they sing,
And if you think my winter is too cold,
You don't deserve my spring.
                        ~e.h.

WASTELAND

Wasteland 10 Years


Change my attempt good intentions
Crouched over
You were not there
Living in fear
But signs were not really that scarce
Obvious tears
But I will not
Hide you through this I want you to help
And please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt
Die, withdraw
Hide in cold sweat
Quivering lips
Ignore remorse
Naming a kid, living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I
Crowned hopeless
The article read living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red but I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I
Heave the silver hollow sliver
Piercing through another victim
Turn and tremble be judgmental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually you'll one day know
Change my attempt good intentions
Limbs tied, skin tight
Self inflicted his perdition
Should I, could I
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Should I, could I

PURE IMAGINATION

Sung by Jackie Evancho

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see 
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see 
Will defy 
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no 
Life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to see magic lands
Close your eyes and you will see one
Want to be a dreamer, be one
Anytime you please and please save me one

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look 
And you'll see
Into your imagination

There is no
Place to go
To compare with your imagination 
So go there
To be free
If you truly wish to be

Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be


THE PRAYER

"The Prayer"

[Celine Dion:]
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way

Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

[Andrea Bocelli (Celine Dion):]
La luce che tu hai
(I pray we'll find your light)
Nel cuore resterà
(And hold it in our hearts)
A ricordarci che
(When stars go out each night)
Eterna stella sei
(Whoa)
Nella mia preghiera
(Let this be our prayer)
Quanta fede c'è
(When shadows fill our day)

Lead us to a place
(Guide us with your grace)
[Both:]
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità

[Andrea Bocelli (Celine Dion):]
La forza che ci dà
(We ask that life be kind)
È il desiderio che
(And watch us from above)
Ognuno trovi amor
(We hope each soul will find)
Intorno e dentro sé
(Another soul to love)

[Both:]
Let this be our prayer
[Celine Dion:]
Let this be our prayer
[Andrea Bocelli:]
Just like every child
[Celine Dion:]
Just like every child

[Both:]
Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

È la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

GONE TOO SOON

Gone Too Soon Michael Jackson

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon

Gone too soon

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

Stairway To Heaven
Led Zeppelin

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Oh oh oh oh and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who standing looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
