REALITY

The Valley Of Depression

Life is a series of valleys and peaks;
nothing ever stays the same;
sometimes it’s like the Master speaks;
whispering that I am to blame.

Just as the ocean tides ebb; then flow;
destiny doesn’t care who we are;
valleys are in life, to

Dreaming Of Eve

If I only looked as young as I feel;
I could truly start all over again;
the world around me seems surreal;
I’m ready for a new love to begin.

But, I’ve become just like wallpaper;
watching each life pass me by;

A Quest For Two Words

In this life we’ve embarked on a quest;

In Search Of Eve

I’ve spent my life in search of a treasure;
and now, that I’m growing old;
I have much regret for my time of leisure;
a bill of false goods; I was sold.

I sought that treasure at a rainbow’s end;

Trudging Through Life

Life teaches lessons, when we’re young;
of what we must do; to grow;
