Thank you More on the way, I'm digging for positivity.

Okies I can share a piece of my positivity that I wrote, wrote this tonight..all warm and fuzzy I am


Stardust Am I

I am but a fleeting flickering star
One of so many in the sky
Here for a moment in time
In a flash I am exploding
Stardust am I

Drifting slowly from the sky
Stardust am I
Falling softly into a lake
Glistening on the surface

Wind blows picking up pieces of me
Blowing me hither and yon
Stardust am I
As I dance across the plains
Mingling with the wheat grains

Wind blows again
Dancing yet again
Twirling in and out of the meadow
Settling for a time upon a window ledge
Shimmering so brightly
Easing someones dreams

Stardust am I
Watch me blow across the sky
Flying so high
Mixing with his tears as he cries
Giving him hope and strength
A reason not to die

Stardust am I
Floating across the sky
No longer do I question why
A bit of me here
A bit of me there
Shining through the sun
Blessing everyone....

Wow, that's beautiful, CCP.

Sounds like a song to me

(This one has a little attitude, as you might expect...)

Roll On
May 1, 2007

I don’t want to see my face any more than you (do)
I’ll lay you waste like you want me to.

I bleed the meaning from my name
But I will roll on just the same
Just shut up and listen to the meaning of life
You’ll live your life forever on the edge of a knife
You’ll scrape yourself together and keep rolling on
You’ll tread your way forever til forever is gone

I don’t want to see my face any more than you (do)
I’ll lay you waste like you want me to
I’ll miss your taste as I make my way
And if we cross paths again, you can count on me

To…

…Bleed the meaning from my name
And I will roll on just the same
Just shut up and listen to the meaning of life
You’ll live your life forever on the edge of a knife
You’ll scrape yourself together and keep rolling on
You’ll tread your way forever til forever is gone

The meaning of life and the reason for the knife
The purpose for death and the fear in the night
The darkness, confusion, away from the light
You’re here to make a meaning or you will die (inside)
You become truth or you’re living a lie
You become an omen, so others choose life

I bleed the meaning from my name
But I will roll on just the same
Just shut up and listen to the meaning of life
You’ll live your life forever on the edge of a knife
You’ll scrape yourself together and keep rolling on
You’ll tread your way forever til forever is gone

So just keep on growing til the living is gone
And the meaning of life… just keep rollin on

Thank you TM

Sometimes in my head as I write I hear music to them..sadly I cannot play very well, I sound rather like a closet full of cats when someone throws a guitar in.

I'm sure you sound better than you give yourself credit for.

Besides, that's a genre in and of itsself...

Yoko Ono, Courtney Love, Cat Power, Sleater Keanney

Very profound TM...Your words reach a place deep within me

avril lavigne

"Keep Holding On"


You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Keep holding on
Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Whenever life seems to knock me down - this one picks me up:

Don't Be Afraid - Doobie Brothers

Well I dreamed I was standin' in the middle of a river,
Someone waited on the other side.
My body shivered in the rushing icy water.
I cried out but no one could hear me.
I tried to swim but it was much too far.
I felt a hand pull me up as I was going under.

Somebody's waiting there to catch you
You don't have to be afraid now baby.
Nobody really knows for sure,
Just open up your heart.
Don't be afraid, someone will catch you if you fall too far.

Sometimes you feel like you're invisible
There's a croud but you're all alone.
Can't they see your heart is breaking?
You pretend that it just doesn't matter,
Try to keep smilin' baby hope against hope.
Love is gonna find you and set you free

Somebody's waiting there to catch you
You don't have to be afraid now baby.
Nobody really knows for sure,
Just open up your heart.
Don't be afraid, someone will catch you if you fall too far.
Too Far.

this works for me eljay.
jon bon jovi

it's my life.


This aint a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I aint gonna be just a face in the crowd
Youre gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
Its my life
Its now or never
I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while Im alive
Its my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For tommy and gina who never backed down
Tomorrows getting harder make no mistake
Luck aint even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while Im alive
cause its my life

Better stand tall when theyre calling you out
Dont bend, dont break, baby, dont back down

Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
cause I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while Im alive

Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
cause I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while Im alive
cause its my life!

Awesome TM ~~~ thanx!!

John Lennon's "Imagine" pretty much says it all.



Here are a couple I think most can relate to ~~ both by R.E.M..


"Losing My Religion"

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream



"Everybody Hurts"

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, hold on, hold on
If you feel like letting go, hold on
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
Everybody hurts. You are not alone.




Peace, love & wisdom

A timeless classic from one of the most talented song writers ever.


Time in a Bottle
Words and Music by Jim Croce


If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you


But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you


But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with


Peace, love & wisdom

Eccelent, hope it's in a good way.

Here are a few of my shorts
------------------
The well of souls

As one, we rise and fall
Thinking that we’re riding out the waves of life
We see those around us in the same condition
A never-ending motion
Living and dying
Naïve and cynical
Greedy and suffering
We try to distance ourselves
Pretend we’re disconnected
But despite our efforts, we are one
And the teeming waves we know
Are simply ripples in the well of souls
---
Elativity

No typo, elation
In me, your creation
A matter of degrees
Whether I’m doing well
Or I’m down on my knees
Euphoria, you get me
Ignoring all the apathy
And seeing to what makes me
And still you stay and drive away the ****
You make me think it’s not all wasted spit
You make me think it’s worth the breath
That maybe there’s purpose, when all I see is death
You show me life and make sure that I use it
Ignore what I can’t have; value what I do get
You make me hang on when I see nothing to gain
Reword what I think and make it sound sane
---
Bloody Merry

There was a girl, bloody merry
Who was obsessed with gothic faeries
She had pictures, trinkets carried
Vampire Wiccan, corsets green
Hair white and red; energy clean
She was a freak since teenage years
The preppy boys bored her to tears
But then one day she met a man in her dreams…
During a college class on Renaissance themes
He taught her life wasn’t about things
Talismans, charms and sundry beads
Crutches of faith, not utter needs
True strength, he said, comes from within
Believe and learn and then begin
In a few minutes, she did protest
Woke up, held crystal to her chest
Looked down at fairy ring, happy
Lived on, as before, bloody merry.

Living in different ways

I'm gonna take you in my arms and fly away
with you tonight

It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo

It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo
It's a beautiful life

Paul Young - Every Time You Go Away

Hey
if we can't solve any problems
and why do we lose so many tears?
Oh
so you go again when the leading man appears.
Always the same theme
can't you see
We've got ev'rything going on and on and on.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.

Go on and go free
maybe you're too close to see.
I can feel your body move
does it mean that much to me.
I can't go on singing the same theme
'cause can't you see
We've got ev'rything
baby
even though you know:
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.

Can't go on singing the same theme
'cause baby
can't you see
We've got ev'rything going on and on and on.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time you go away you take a piece of me with you.
Ev'ry time
ev'ry time you go away - but I don't care -
You take a piece of me with you. Ev'ry time you go away -
Ev'ry time you go away - don't leave me all alone

And breakin' up a piece of me. Ey'ry time you go away.

Title: Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away lyrics

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away

Abraham, Martin, and John

Sung by: Dion

Words and Music by Richard Holler


Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
You know I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

(brief instrumental interlude-organ)

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin, and John

DKW....this was a wonderful idea , I really enjoyed posting and reading this thread

In You Eyes - Anastacia

Tripped along many stones
Enough to say
I found my own way
I don't know where to go
Couldn't see where it leads

Making castles in the sand
Afraid no one else would hold my hand
I'm stained from the world
Sad, sad, sad little girl

But I see in your eyes
You wear no disguise
Help me find my way
I'm like a bird in the sky
You helped me to fly
Fly away
Fly away
Back home... back home

Holding on to memories
Often scared
Of what I'd see
And then you came
And then you came
And rescued me
And I'm okay
I'm okay

But I see in your eyes
You wear no disguise
Help me find my way
I'm like a bird in the sky
You helped me to fly
Fly away
Fly away

Oh and I know you'll never leave me alone
I'll follow you just anywhere that you go
In my life I can see you
I know I believe you will stay, oh
In your eyes
You wear no disguise
Oh oh oh
Like a bird in the sky
You helped me to fly
Oh yeah oh oh oh

In your eyes oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah hey yeah oh
I said you're like a bird in the sky
You helped me to fly
Fly away
Fly away
Back home
Back home

In your eyes
