Still I Miss You

 

Still I Miss You

On the road  a new strange place

Play the cards that I've been dealt

Count the days till I am Home

So much feeling I have felt

Haiku of you in my mind

Focus on the job at hand

Entangled souls again apart

Out at sea no sight of land

A foggy highway lies ahead

Barely see the pathway through

Strongly feel your spark within

Still I miss you

Wind and motor lulling sounds

The road my refuge far from home

Still my mind and feel your vibes

Ten more miles I grab the phone

A foggy highway lies ahead

Barely see the pathway through

Strongly feel your spark within

Still I miss you

Sunset blazes through the mist

Warming rays shine through my soul

She sends her love from far away

Making us whole

Making us whole

A foggy highway lies ahead

Barely see the pathway through

Strongly feel your spark within

Still I miss you

There is Much in the World

There is much in the world for us to be grateful for

The Universe has made it all

As our song now takes up sight and sounds of the earth

All voices shall be one

For the sound of the rain

For the fierce rushing waves

For water quiet and cool

We are blessed and thankful

In each droplet we see all your love and energy

For the warmth of a fire

For a blaze through the sky

For orange and yellow sparks

We are blessed and thankful

In each flicker we see all your love and energy

For the green of the earth

For the rich, leafy trees

For air that’s fresh and clean

We are blessed and thankful

Through each breath we feel all your love and energy

~Carson Coorman, paraphrased

Soar!

Instead of someday, how about today?  Soar to new heights!

Today I'll fly!

Today I'll soar!

Today I'll be so damn much more!

Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

~adapted from “Bigger than my Body,” by John Mayer

"Bigger Than My Body"

This is a call to the color-blind

This is an IOU

I'm stranded behind a horizon line

Tied up in something true

Yes, I'm grounded

Got my wings clipped

I'm surrounded (by)

All this pavement

Guess I'll circle

While I'm waiting

For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly

Someday I'll soar

Someday I'll be so damn much more

Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not my time?

What is there more to learn?

Shed this skin I've been tripping in

Never to quite return

Yes, I'm grounded

Got my wings clipped

I'm surrounded (by)

All this pavement

Guess I'll circle

While I'm waiting

For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly

Someday I'll soar

Someday I'll be so damn much more

Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Cause I'm bigger than my body now

Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines

And it might be over in a second's time

But I'll gladly go down in a flame

If the flame's what it takes to remember my name

Yes, I'm grounded

Got my wings clipped

I'm surrounded (by)

All this pavement

Guess I'll circle

While I'm waiting

For my fuse to dry

For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly

Someday I'll soar

Someday I'll be so damn much more

Cause I'm bigger than my body

I'm bigger than my body

I'm bigger than my body now

Everyone Wants to be Heard

Everyone wants to be heard.  Say something that will make a positive impact.  On someone...on the world...on humanity...

"You're in control, is there anywhere you wanna go?

You're in control, is there anything you wanna know?

The future's for discovering

The space in which we're travelling

From the top of the first page

To the end of the last day

From the start in your own way

You just want somebody listening to what you say

It doesn't matter who you are

It doesn't matter who you are"

~Coldplay, excerpt from "Square One," Track 1 on the X&Y CD

Commemorating John Lennon's Death...Imagine

In commemoration of the 31th anniversary of John Lennon's death.  The song "Imagine:"

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die for and no religions too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing for the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Take my hand and join us
And the world will live, will live as one

"But My Life is More Than a Vision..."

But my life is more than a vision

The sweetest part is acting after making a decision

I started seeing the whole as a sum of its parts

My life is part of the global life

I'd found myself becoming more immobile

When I'd think a little girl in the world can't do anything

A distant nation my community

A street person my responsibility

If I have a care in the world I have a gift to bring.

Gotta get out of bed get a hammer and a nail

Learn how to use my hands, not just my head

I think myself into jail

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose

~The Indigo Girls, “Hammer and a Nail,” from “Nomads Indians Saints”
