Day 960 - Music

Music has always punctured my soul,
It tears me apart, then sews me back whole,
It's an intense "beat"ing I take everyday,
I wouldn't want it any other way.

Music brings on the joy and the pain,
Oh, the heartbreak, it makes my eyes rain,
It cuts and slices my emotions to bits,
With lyrical prose and poetic wits.


The bass pumps the blood in my veins,
The vocals stimulate the nerves in my brain,
Guitar solos drown out all of life's noise,
With chords dancing between fingers of poise.

Just one note can make the hair on my arm raise,
Make me drop to the ground in the deepest of praise,
It can make me jump up on to my feet,
Singing and swaying along with the beat.

Without music, I couldn't tell if I'm alive,
Experience feelings hidden deep down inside,
Songs have guided me on this walk through life,
Forged relationships and led me to my wife.





 

Day 957 - TwentyOne Days

Been twenty-one days since you've seen me here,
I'm the same ole man even when I disappear,
I've followed a crumbling path to no destiny,
I know in my soul it's not all I can be,
I yearn to break free from blinding routines,
Find the light which will lead me to my dreams,
I've settled, some people would politely say,
For a present I only hope will be better one day,
I do nothing to promote a better me inside or out,
Just let my mind whisper fears until they echo all doubt.

With that said, I am growing a better version of me,
Continually sowing the seeds I've planted between the weeds,
I am strong in my mind and faithful in my soul,
Maybe on the outside it just doesn't show,
I have an abundance of love and good will to give,
I have breath in my lungs and a reason to live,
I have a girl in my life who stands beside,
Her strength breeds a passion, makes me feel so alive,
She's rock solid ground where we stand together as one,
Doubt and fear? With her, I look around and find there is none.

Day 936 - Sad Song

This song says it all for me today:

Without you I'm just a "Sad Song" 

Day 935 - Joy Wins

Closed eyes,
Silents prayers,
Her shadow,
Dark room,
Long hair,
Warm skin,
Heart beat,
Tight grip,
Happy soul.

I wake,
Night sweat,
Hazy mind,
Deep breath,
All alone,
Tears flow,
Pain inside,
Faith heals,
Joy wins.
