I Wonder

May 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I wonder what became of me those many years ago
When life, it seemed, was creating me into the man I am
It lasted many of my years, a change that’s not so small
To know myself, I’ll have to look back upon them all.

But when I look, I see the man to which I did aspire
And I wonder at the sight of me and who I came to be
Taking hold of my experience in the dimming light.
I wondered as day came and went and now becomes the night.

It isn’t hard, you see, to know from whence you came
Simply look upon your heart and search for scars that change
These little things that make you you, and me me, are just a window to the past
Take a look and soon you’ll be soaring right on back.

Memories and experience are a wonder to behold
No matter where you are, they’re something to be held

The Whisper

May 1, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The wind flows like water exciting the small drum.

It drums like it has for my entire life.

Listen to me it says

Listen and learn.

Listen to the many things I can teach you.

About who you are, and about who you can be

About the world and all of its glory and decite

It says, I am a twin

My brother lives across the way

He too drums the lasting drum

He can teach you many wonderful things

Through me is a new world everyday

All you must do is listen, listen, listen

Quiet now, just listen

Listen to the whisper
