******************

Just me and the moon,

and the stars and the night,

Travelling to where,

my fancies take flight.

Just me and my dreams,

and the vastness of space,

Away with my thoughts,

where e'er my thoughts race.

**************

Just me and myself,

I am here all alone,

But wherever I go,

I don't go on my own.

Just me and my clouds,

and my dreams of the past,

And though time may elapse,

my dreams they will last.

Scattered Thoughts

been feeling like a real piece of shit lately. but, like everything, this too shall pass.

since starting my new job, ive been having a difficult time concentrating and remembering things. makes me look pretty stupid at work. especially when looking at numbers or forms, i blank out and cant really think well. even simple things like verbal instructions, where i put something, the day of the week. trying to eliminate factors that could be causing this, but its not helping. 

If I could take your sadness,

I would turn it into gladness,

If I could take your pain,

I would make it soft as rain.

--------

If I could take your anguish,

Forever I would vanquish,

The hurt that's in your eyes,

The loneliness in your sighs.

---------

If I could have your smile,

I would hold it all the while,

And when you're feeling down,

I'd place the smile upon your frown.

----------

If only dreams came true,

I would come and comfort you,

If only dreams were real,

For you, the sky, I'd steal.

All I wanted was to see you;

to talk with you awhile,

To find out how you're doing,

and to see again your smile.

If only for a moment,

to help me fill this void,

And not dwell on the past,

and all that's been destroyed.

----------

I know that you're still hurting,

and I know it's all my fault,

I know I kept on going,

when I knew that I should halt.

But things are different now,

And if I had another chance,

I would be a better person,

and give you true romance.

-----------

Now I see that I'm too late,

and that true romance you've found,

And the love that you once had for me,

lies shattered on the ground.

So I turn and walk away;

you have new love to live,

And the love that he'll give back to you,

is the love I could not give.

******************

Oh where! oh where! is our faerie child,

All lost to us and living wild,

Oh where! oh where! did our child go,

He was sitting here just an hour ago.

****************************

When he was here he was far away,

And we always said that he would not stay,

His mind was not on earthly things;

But far away on Faerie wings.

*****************************

Oh! Woe are we, our child is gone,

To the wilderness and beyond,

Where crystal streams of magic flow,

That is where our child did go.

*****************************

We weep for you, our little one,

For to the Faeries you have gone,

To the waters and the wild,

Forever more a Faerie child.
