Figuring Things Out and the song of my childhood


WildFire
by Michael Martin Murphy




Figuring Things Out


I don't know why this song 
always touched something
deep inside my soul
It made me think of myself
and I always wondered who had written my story
Cause nobody knew me!
Listening to the song,
I saw myself riding that pony, WildFire
and
dying in the winter
like I'd been born 

I had my own pony named FireBird
who ran like the wind
and was colored bright red and white
He was my best friend, my only friend
And when I rode on his back
I believed I could fly

I was a lonely child
Talking to owls and animals
Like people
and thinking I was going to die
still a child
Because
I didn't want to live
to be an adult
If life as it was
Would continue to be
Life as it was

WildFire was the fantasy
and
FireBird was the real
but as for me
I've never known......
if I was real or not

I Never Lost You

 

MONDAY, J                   

              I Never Lost You



I never lost you
In the sea or sand
In the sky as clouds rolled by
Letting go my hand.

I never lost you
In the dusk or dawn
In the dark or daydream
Noticing you'd gone.

I never lost you
In a crowded place
In a dim lit restaurant
With shadows on your face.

I never lost you
On a moonlight swim
Watching waves take you away
Held prisoner at their whim.

I never lost you
On a busy street
Walking fast ahead of me
With others yet to meet.

I never lost you
In the shining snow
Clutching love tight to my heart
Not wanting to let go.

I never lost you
In sheets of dreamless sleep
Watching your back turned from me
With no love left to keep.

I never lost you
Your dark eyes gave no sign
And though your body sleeps by me still,
You were never mine.
