so far away but never to far to not be seen be it in your dreams or nightmares as real as the here and now for those who sleep in that black hole lost in time loved eternally inspired for life will you stay? sleep tight be not afraid the ones you love are here with you lay your head on your pillow prepare a place for me cause when you ready I’m there chasing rainbows while we dream eternally

saw your shooting star tonight shattering the black of the night cutting the dark apart flying across your amber palette burning bright for all to see let your light shine my darlin’ flying to where? that’s your mystique just keep flyin’ my darlin’ you shine best on the darkest of nights under the new moon burning brightly chasing my dark away my darlin’ that’s what you do best dragging me to the light that’s you my darlin’

what’s worse than death an unfinished life with regrets life a life worth living dying leaving nothing unfinished only life worth living is one to live for dying to live we all yearn for completion yet it slips through our fingers like morning mist all that is certain is this moment the only life worth living is to be fully human creating a better world with intent and actions the elusive yet attainable unfinished life it’s worth it live it!
