I Called Unto The Night

 this music inspired the write

I Called Unto The Night

I called unto the night

And night was silent

I called unto the winds

They wouldn't blow

I called unto my love

And love was hiding

I asked the sky to find him

It said "No"

I asked the underworld

If he was sleeping

If he had fallen

Dying like a leaf

I begged for hope

But there was no hope offered

No angel came

To comfort me in grief

I called to science to help me
And to magic
I couldn't live without him
Or his love

I called to love itself
And it was listening
There in the secret place
It dwells above

I called unto the sun

It wouldn't shine

But shrank and hid itself

Behind the moon

I prayed unto the heavens

They were distant

But love whispered "Have some faith

You'll see him soon"

I called within my dreams

And there I found him

Laughing with the smile

 He often wore

I called his name

And up the trail he hastened

Grabbed me in his arms

There at the door

I woke in morning

And he was not there with me

I looked for him on ocean

And on land

I sought his face

Without his love to guide me

But all I held

Was just my empty hand

I called unto the night

And then it answered

"Nothing in this life

 Is as it seems"

"You'll never find your love

When you're awakened

For he is waiting for you

In your dreams"

And so I slept forever

As the night fell

And covered me with stars

From heaven's skies

And saw my love

Just waiting in the distance

With all the love I longed for

In his eyes.

When All Is Said And Done.......

Rainy Night in Georgia

White Bird

NEVER

NEVER



I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HUMANS
I NEVER COMPREHENDED  THE BREED
I NEVER KNEW ONE TO BE SELFLESS
BUT SELFISH BECAUSE OF THEIR GREED.

I NEVER WAS TENDERLY TOUCHED
I NEVER CHERISHED, FELT
I NEVER KNEW THE TASTE OF LOVE
OR HOW IT LOOKED OR SMELT.

I NEVER HAD A HAND TO HOLD
OR SAW A HEART FELT SMILE
I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO FEEL SAFE
OR PASSED A SECURE AND SURE WHILE.

I NEVER FIT IN WITH ANY GROUP
BUT HUNG AT THE OUTSKIRTS OF FEAR
THEIR DAGGERED EYES WOULD PIERCE MY HEART
AND SAY "YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE."

I NEVER GOT TO LET DOWN MY GUARD
I NEVER GOT TO BE
THE PERSON THAT I AM DEEP INSIDE
THE PERSON THAT IS ME.

MY PARENTS MADE ME RUN AWAY
THEY DROVE ME FROM MY HOME
THEY TOLD MY FAMILY THAT I WAS DEAD
AND SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ALONE.

SO LIFE HAS BEEN A LONELY WALK
AND SMILES, THEY HAVE BEEN FEW
BUT CAME THE DAY YOU LOOKED MY WAY
AND I FOUND A FRIEND IN YOU.

AND NOW I SEE THAT I WAS WRONG
MISTAKEN WAS MY HEART
JUST WHEN I'D BROKEN DOWN MY WALLS
YOU TORE MY SOUL APART.

BUT THAT'S OKAY, I'VE HURT BEFORE
I KNOW THAT PAIN SO WELL
MISFIT AM I, BANNED FROM THE SKY
AND BARRED FROM THE GATES OF HELL.

A LONELY WANDERER, NEVER HOME
WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT CRY
A PART BUT NOT REALLY, OF THE HUMAN RACE
AND NEVER KNOWING WHY.
