Into a Shady Place

December 29th, 2008 | Category: Poem

If I fell from the sky forever
I’d want to land in a shady place
But it would never come
So I’d think it about as I tumbled
Through the sky and wonder why
I would never see it

The sky would be so cold
The air around me warm
I’d fall faster and into the swarm
The buzzing cacophony of wonder
As I fell I’d call your name
Would you hear me, would I sound the same?

If I fell from the sky forever
I’d think about the time I spent
Complaining about life on solid ground
And I’d look around
And see it wasn’t so terrible after all
But still I fall

I’d want to land in a shady place
Where the sun wouldn’t find me
The coolness would calm my soul
But I don’t know
I’m falling from the sky forever
So I will never see it

If Tomorrow Never Came

December 29th, 2008 | Category: Poem

Why don’t we
Take tomorrow by the hand
Lead it far outside the plan
Travel to another land
Where things haven’t yet began
And try it all again – try it all again

My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free

Hope for a new tomorrow
Where things aren’t begged or borrowed
Hold each other as we go
Living far away from the show
It’s all possible didn’t you know
And try it all again – try it all again

My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free

Can’t you leave it all behind
And then run away with me
We’d go all the way you’d see
So far that we could be free
If you’d only go with me
And try it all again – try it all again

My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free

Why don’t we
Take today and throw it all away
So that we can go and play
For even just one day
Girl, what do you say?
Try it all again? Try it all again?

My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free
Would you come and go with me?
Would you come and go with me?
