It's Not That I'm Unwounded

 

It's Not That I'm Unwounded 

             

it's not that i'm unwounded

i just feel the way i feel

i fear that i am not afraid

for i see what is real

and what is real is that you're gone

and may never come my way

and that my love was not enough

to make you want to stay

but life goes on as life it does

and love may come again

and it may wound me deeper still

when i let it in again

it's not that i'm unwounded

i'm just strong enough to say

that love is always welcome here

even if it walks away.

Love Was My Alibi

like Justin said: I mighta been gone

but I never walked out...........

To Love Somebody

 

INDN SUMMER DAY LITEFOOT

Earthly Creatures

 

Earthly Creatures

We are earthly creatures

Marked by life

And slowed

By death.

We are lifted

By love

And downed

By reality.

Our lives

Are long walks

Through deserts

Interspersed with an oasis or two.

Friends are roses

Blooming along

The gray roadsides

That we stumble upon.

And families

Are usually people

That start out as friends

And end up as strangers.

Such is life

This thing we must do

As we search for meaning

And solace in the storm.

If true love comes

It comes as a surprise

And like children, we, without thought 

Rip open the packages.

The roads wind through mountains

And our eyes are darkened

By tears and rain and loss

And brightened in the moments of sunshine.

We are creatures

Like no others

We are not animals

No matter if we live like they.

We are men

Who walk upright

And seek to rise

While falling down.

And if, at the end of it all

We are counted worthy

To be adopted by heavenly creatures

We will adapt, though it will be hard, to joy.
