When We Listen

Whisper to me a sweet melody Wrap me within your strong loving arms Stay close, so not even the sun can sneak between us. Let us sway together within and against the wind Gently trace the lines on my face Kiss my lips briefly Say you will never leave me. As I open my eyes I look to the sky A tear runs down my cheek I rock on the porch, in our swing built for two, and wonder why you left? Our lazy cat gently brushes her tail against my face The blanket wrapped around me once warmed you too Your scent fills my senses I lean back, close my eyes, and pray for you Come to me Dance with me Make me smile again You are the man of my dreams I wait for sleep to help me escape Happiness is finding you Again.

The fire is out The room is cold There are no windows No light to see Just what had become of you and me I search for embers There is only ash No water needed The fire is out This room is cold Too cold to stay I need a way out I have to leave ~ today I can not stand to be here any more The warmth that was once here Is now no more No place to rebuild a fire No windows to bring in some light It's an empty room It's an empty life I leave the room and close the door It disappears Another room ~ lost Another fire ~ gone Life is about moving forward Moving on Another door will open soon Another fire ~ in another room There is no looking back No bad thoughts to have Just lost memories How sad A light will shine A fire will burn Life will bloom Love ~ will find a way.

It begins with a spark Ignites into a flame It charges through your chest It fills your lungs Every breath you take burns within your throat Your eyes water Your head spins Your legs are too heavy to move You reach out... Hoping to touch something Hoping to feel something Needing to hold anything for support The tips of your fingers reach out a little farther It's difficult to see through the fog And then... Something is there Something to give you hope that not all is lost There it is, almost out of reach, but still there With one last belief in your own heart, you take that leap of faith And hold onto the one thing you believe can save you. You leap forward~ ~Towards Love!

The memories of you dance within my mind. Happier days, happier times. A quick glance, a playful smile. Hoping you would stay awhile. How sad to know it wasn't true. How sad to find I was nothing to you. I am not angry I am not mad I'm just here thinking How sad A dream with so much promise Has dwindled down to this Just a glimpse of what was Now fading in the mist

Can you hear me? I am the whisper in the wind. Can you see me? I move with the leaves as they stumble across the ground. Can you feel me? I am the beat within your heart. Can you sense me? I am the prickling down your spine. Can you reach for me? I am the image in the corner of your eye. I am all around you. I am always with you. You have to believe anything is possible... And then you will find me!
