Down by the river pickin’ up some heart rocks
No music, just a few friends, even fewer talks
Serenity sensationally silencing, surprisingly
Lost in awe, thoughts contained, far from drained
Energy in fact picking up with the winds whim
Worries turn to wonders
While the wisdom washes away all cares
Nothing like the feeling of the crisp morning air
Chills to the bone like ripples around the crashing waves
Almost reminiscent of more youthful days
Soft soothing sloshing sounds slowly seeping in subconsciously
Finding myself reminding myself not to listen too intently
So easily I can get lost in my own thoughts
The mind almost begging for the change in the air to rub off
Hours can pass as quickly as the clouds
If I get caught in a daze
Sometimes it’s hard to see thru the misty morning haze
Even on some of the clearest days

Changing Spots Don’t Stop
Stalled, distracted, annoyed yet not destroyed
Just a lil perturbed, no calls?
Won’t react let it all fall away instead and just take this time to play
Stressing and worrying
Debating and contemplating
STOP
In my head thoughts swirl while in my hair my finger twirls
BOUNCE
I’m ready to pounce
This kitty cat’s on the prowl
What sound will you stir from her, a pleasured purr or a playful growl
Will you give her creepy chills or will she show you her sneaky thrills
Either ways she’s quite a cheeky girl
She’s sleek and she’s slick
Quick quips slip from her lips
When you approach you’re unsteady and unsure
Will she let you pet her, are your intentions pure?
Does she really even care, who knows she might just take you right there
Duality for which she can’t be blamed
One side reserved and refined, the other just unruly, she’ll never be tamed
Which of her 9 lives will you have the pain or pleasure to endure?
Will you accept the challenge of this changeable cheetah?
If you wish to say yes, I do hope you’re sure

Mr.Sun
Let this sun brighten your thoughts today and every day
Let him brighten not just your thoughts but also the words you say
Always remember no matter how dark your day may seem,
All it takes is the smallest ray shining through your nightmares to turn them to dreams
If you invite him in when ever you feel lost even in the dead of the night
From this day forward he will help you in your fight
Please know this too:
All you have to do is ask and I too will join in that fight right beside you

In Sanity
This place I thought was once my home
It almost seems as if it’s the only one I’d ever known
My flare, my spark, you know, that bit of me that sets me apart
Recently it’s beginning to feel more like a mark
A signal, a sign following me all the time
Telling those around me I’m not fine
In Sanity, the insane is me, completely crazy
The only one in this place quite like me
I’ve visited Sanity so seldom lately, I no longer feel welcomed
Once loved and cherished for my flare
Now shoved then banished for my flaws
In Sanity they can’t make up my mind
Independent thoughts?
Few of their population will even think to find
Merely sheep following the masses
I used to pretend this place was too my home
Now to these people I am unknown
When I come around tho I can see some find it hard to pick a side
Interested, intrigued, tho too insecure so still I must hide
In Sanity they are all well rested, so no use trying to run
They’d catch me for sure
My spark, my flair, the way they stare
If they want to act like I don’t matter than why should I care?
A sign, a signal, not to lose track of time or your world might end up like mine
Still they stall, too afraid to fall
In Sanity tho they would never admit it, they crave me
Their only chance to save their world you see, is me
In Sanity they need the insanity to set them free

Seeing Sounds (Trippin’ on Troubled Times)
Rainbow trails lead to purple puddles
Drip drops in flip flops
Climbing and falling from tree tops
Clean and fresh never lettin’ it get stale
Still so frail, still we need
Frantic timing as I’m stalling
I see it stops as I start to look in between
Thoughts pop, as bubbles burst
Teeter totter, should I bother
Merry go rounds, on our playgrounds
Sandboxes full of castles
The tide can wash it all away
How does water cast shadows?
No need to hide, here’s the lost and found
So instead seek change, rearrange, shake it up
Make your life exactly what you want it to be
Solidify your dreams
You’re in control of your destiny
Choose your own path, forget the past
Everything can be flipped so fast
Can’t always play it safe, don’t fade into the background
Don’t be afraid to make a sound
Cause a stir, fly past it all in a blur
A whirlwind isn’t always a disaster,
Just as calm doesn’t mean trouble’s stayed
Can’t judge what’s inside from just what you see
Who knows maybe you’re exactly like me
