moreover...

oh...i can delve in self pity for only so long!
i don't like this dark place! i seek the light!
to hear my daughter's laughter from thousands of miles away,
to see her smile through the distance...
this all by it's lonesome would be enough...
yet, there is more...
to know that i am gifted and sought for, for my views...
to know that i can make a difference in this crazy, crazy world...
i feel a power and a sense of responsibility...
for if i let this moment pass without so much as a peek into what is possible...
i will not only lose out on an opportunity for self growth...
i will have lost out on a chance to make a worthwhile impression on an already
deeply depressed world...
yes...i am that important...moreover...yes...
so are YOU...

moonshine

i climbed to the top of the mountain and gazed
at a brilliantly bright moon...
i challenged her to dare look back upon me,
to bear witness to my own brilliance...
for while her light was no more than a reflection cast...
my light is innate and shines from within...

north star

"up north,
down south,
out west,
back east..."

he'd shown her how to find her way...
where to look when looking for that
north star...
she would not forget...
this seemed important to him...
she would remember how to find her way...
even as she ached for him to find his way...
to her.

anymore...

my fragile heart tires of the search...
and chooses to search no more...
wherever you are, i need you to come find me...
i've hurt enough, i've cried enough...
enough...
i can't do this anymore...
i thought i found you, once, twice...
three times...
but, i was just given a taste...
i can't do this anymore...
