sunsets and shoulders

man...i need me a sunset, good friends,
a bonfire on the beach, pass it to the left and
let me breathe deep...

let my mind wander to good times had,
a time when nothing was expected,
when my smile reached my eyes and no pain rested there...

i need my soul refreshed, God, i need a shoulder,
i need someone to rest in,
just for a little while...

so tired of deflecting pain,
when all the while another pain has
already made a home in my heart...

gotta keep pushin through, keep smilin, this too shall pass?
maybe not, but 'it' will not run things,
not if i can help it...

but man, do i need that sunset...

fall

there's a coolness in the night air...
hinting at a change that's coming soon...
we moan and groan the hot days but,
pay attention...the nights are whispering to us...
fall is just around the corner...
my favorite season by far...
