No More

I can’t do it

No more please

It hurts too much

I need to leave

But when I do,

You corner me in

I need to go

Please let me

Don’t follow me

But you do

You follow me

It is your way

I say no more

Now I’m in control

The line’s been drawn

This is it

It’s final now

We are no more

A Yellow Burst

In the misty fog

Suddenly there is a flash

A burst of yellow

The sun breaks free

The fog lifts

The mist has gone

It is easier to see

In the cleanness of the yellow sun

When You are Gone

When you are gone

I will miss you

But I will not fear

Because I know

One day we will meet again

When you are here

Life will be strange

You will leave a hole

In my little world

One hard to fill

But don’t worry

All will be okay

Because we know the truth

That one day

We will meet again

Escape the Ordinary

Escape the ordinary

Run Free

Embrace the new

And take chances

Run that mile

Jump that cliff

Live your life

Take off the cobwebs

Don’t sit still

Climb that tree

Do what you want

Life happens once

Life can be short

Life chaff blown in the wind

Keep your eyes open

Be extraordinary

Cast Away the Shadows

Cast away the shadows

Let in the sun

See it shine brightly

And light up the room

Lie back and enjoy

Let your imagination flow

Go to a new place

And enjoy the scenery

Let the sun fill you

Embrace the spring feeling

Enjoy the moment

Let yourself grow

Take those floating thoughts

Turn them into ideas

Pick up the pen

And go with the flow
