Just In Case in memory of 911

Just In Case

Just in case tomorrow never comes

Just in case the sun forgets to shine

Just in case the world is drowned in tears

I'm writing this to say what's on my mind.

I hope you all have love living inside you

I hope you all have peace within your soul

I hope you all come through the fires now burning

Refined and finished, shining like pure gold.

This life is never promised to the careless

And those that think that this is all there'll be

For when this life ends, be it short or lengthy

That's when you'll walk into eternity.

So hug your friends and family 'fore tomorrow

And kneel your knees and pray away your strife

And give your soul to the only One can save it

For holding to this world can't save your life.

Tonight  might be the last night you lay dreaming

Today just may have been your final day

So leave nothing undone that needs the doing

Before the angels carry you away.

The world will never end, the scriptures tell us

But will be formed and shaped and made anew

But just because the earth will live forever

Doesn't mean that it's the same for you.

Over twenty years ago came September the Eleventh

A morning like all others come before

Nobody knew when they awoke that morning

That they would never walk back through their doors.

My heart is full of longing for my Savior

My soul is full of sorrow for mankind

So please tonight, make sure your souls are righteous

And let Love fill your hearts while there's still time.

I CANNOT DANCE

I Cannot Dance


I cannot dance for my two feet
No longer feel the beat
The music doesn't move me now
Be it loud or sweet.

I cannot dance for my two ears
Have long since lost the tune
So I stand still in the dark of night
Staring at the moon.

I cannot dance for my two arms
Have not a love to hold
So I sit here cradling myself
Shivering in the cold. 

I cannot dance for my two eyes
Cannot see the dream
Or love in someone else's eyes
But hear the silent scream.

I cannot dance for my defective heart
Would burst now if I tried
The world's a sadder, quieter place
Now that the music's died.

Time Forgotten by Brian Crain

GREEN APPLES

Green Apples



Love is like a green apple
Juicy
Delicious
Mouthwatering,
Tasty
and
Tempting.


Life is like a green apple
Sweet,
Sour,
Delicate
and
Tough
Within it's peelings.


Every time I see
A green apple,
I want
To take a bite,
I want
To savor the juice
And devour it to the seed.


And yet,
When the apple is gone,
The peelings discarded,
The juice, blotted up,
And the seeds thrown to ground,
I always find myself
Craving still another.


For one apple
Is never enough for me
I am greedy
And eternally hungry,
Continually wanting
To fill my belly
With more.


Ordinary apples
Rarely interest me
I don't know why,
Maybe I am strange
Maybe I am odd,
But my mouth does not water
For the taste of red.


But green apples
Ah!
They call my name
In the middle of night
In the heat of the day,
They beckon me
With memories.


I sink my teeth
Into their juicy flesh
And smile
Savoring the tartness
That comes with the sweet,
But I am insatiable,
Devouring slowly, finishing the last
At the same time looking around
For the next

green apple...............

SURPRISES AT MIDNIGHT

Surprises at Midnight

Get dressed, you said, in the sexiest thing you own

Throw on a coat and follow these words, alone

I've laid down a pretty paper roses trail

And where it leads you to, your eyes will tell

So I, in wonder, did just as he asked

For I was titillated by the task.

I hurried down the stairs and to the street

And the night was full of mystery and heat

I saw the pieces of paper shining there

Down the street, the pier and to the Square

I followed them until I came to rest

In an alley way, my heart pounding in my chest.

I looked around to see what I could see

And all I saw was a curiosity 

A cardboard cut-out of a handsome man

Standing there with roses in his hand.

I sighed and turned to go from that dark place

And then he peeked around the cardboard face

"Hello, my love!" he grinned, "What a surprise!"

And I hit him with a pie between the eyes.

for you know who

I Don't Mind

I don't mind

I don't mind the tears

I just hate all the crying

I don't mind being dead

I just hate all the dying.
