I want to learn
I want to know
Please teach me
Please help me grow
I see lots of things
And have many questions
Please help me
Guide me, show me, teach me
I got big plans
I can see my future
But I can’t make it alone
I need help
I need to learn
Need to grow
I won’t get where I want knowing only what I know
I know there is so much more
I want the key to the door
I know that key is in my mind
Just help me find it
I’m ready to climb
Up
Up
Up
Always climbing upward
We reach closer
But will never arrive
There is no ending
I know this, but it doesn’t change the way I feel
I want to thrive
So, please teach me
Please help me grow
I want to learn
I want to know

I Never Knew you Jessica
Jessica, I never knew you
Doesn’t mean I never loved you
Jessica, it’s not fair we no longer get to see you this way
Wasn’t fair you happened to be at the movies that day
I wish James knew that people loved him too
I do
I was not here in my Denver home the day I heard the news
I was in the kitchen on the ranch, wearing new shoes
People shot and killed in Colorado last night
A horrific scene, people aghast
I saw this before
Same town in fact
Now I live here too, my town - D-town
How could this happen again?
Why do we have to lose friends?
Why do we come to these ends?
James I want you to know I’m your friend
I know you’re hurt in ways you cannot understand
Crazy? Maybe
But, not likely, probably just hurt
Cause no one said: “Hi”, or “I love you baby”
Isn’t that obvious
We create these worlds, and here’s the consequence
No more views like this of Jessica
Her love no longer shown to us
We have to feel it
It has always been there
Eternal Light, crystal clear
Jessica I’m not sad
I was mad
I got over that, now I’m just glad
Because I got the chance to know you were here
You helped make it clear
Towards love is how we must steer
We’re in this together
We will be joined forever
It is the beginning not the end
James you are my friend
Doesn’t mean I never loved you
Jessica, it’s not fair we no longer get to see you this way
Wasn’t fair you happened to be at the movies that day
I wish James knew that people loved him too
I do
I was not here in my Denver home the day I heard the news

James you are my friend
The Top of the Stairs
I am waiting for you at the top of the stairs
Waiting at the closed cellar door
I thought this could be
Where we could meet
Once we talked, you seemed complete
Not in need of doing more learning
Just ready for sharing
That’s where I’m at too
The place of deep caring
For people and the world
The way I see it in you
Through the eyes of a girl
Must we pretend?
Still go through all those silly steps
Get a Scantron, take a test
Thought we didn’t need any of that
Felt we only needed an instant
The moment our eyes met
I got the message
It was time for my heart to listen
So I came here to the top of the stairs
Of course the door is closed
Has anyone ever been down there?
I have my key with me
Not for your door
For mine
Let’s go there too
Let’s do it at the same time
I know it looks dark
And perhaps it is scary
I know it is not
Because I saw it when I met you
When you smiled it came right through
It was your heart
Beautiful and true
That is why you can’t fool me
Why I am not giving up
Why I am waiting at the top of the stairs
Waiting for you to take me down there
Right into your heart, that’s where I belong
Because I want you in mine
Open that cellar door
Let’s let our hearts shine
Waiting at the closed cellar door
I thought this could be
Where we could meet
Once we talked, you seemed complete
Not in need of doing more learning
Just ready for sharing
That’s where I’m at too
The place of deep caring
For people and the world
The way I see it in you
Through the eyes of a girl
Must we pretend?
Still go through all those silly steps
Get a Scantron, take a test
Thought we didn’t need any of that
Felt we only needed an instant
The moment our eyes met

It was time for my heart to listen
So I came here to the top of the stairs
Of course the door is closed
Has anyone ever been down there?
I have my key with me
Not for your door
For mine
Let’s go there too
Let’s do it at the same time
I know it looks dark
And perhaps it is scary
I know it is not
Because I saw it when I met you
When you smiled it came right through
It was your heart
Beautiful and true
That is why you can’t fool me
Why I am not giving up
Why I am waiting at the top of the stairs
Waiting for you to take me down there
Right into your heart, that’s where I belong
Because I want you in mine
Open that cellar door
Let’s let our hearts shine
2012 Finals
I’m KD
She’s Lebron
Takes me off my game
Way too strong
Can’t get my shot
Can’t drive the lane
Doesn’t matter that I’m hot
I’m not insane
Not even interested about competing
Looking forward to the Olympics
When we are on the same team
Cause then: KD makes a dunk
Lebron Says: “sick”

If my Heart is Broken
If my heart is broken
And my eyes are closed
It is impossible to have my mind open
I know this is not what I want
I know this is not what the world needs
But right now it is how I feel
Can’t get my mind off of it, it is the deal
How do I connect with someone who doesn’t understand what I say
Even though we speak the same language
Stand in the same places
Look the same, both have pretty faces
When I see, when I open my eyes
I see right through you
And feel hurt inside
Not from what’s in you
But what’s in me
It’s my hurt, it’s my pain
That I see in you
Makes me feel like I need to change
The change is simple:
Have known for years now
Starts at the beginning
Starts with my heart
It must be open
It must be true
There are things that I cannot undo
Can’t change the past
Can’t change that certain things didn’t last
I can change how I feel about it
Choose to live in love
Never doubt it
I try, I’ve tried
And each time I do I feel denied
Not just cause she said no
But cause of the consequence
Frequent meetings
Prescription drugs, an escaped sentence
They have me shackled
Chained up like a menace
Feared and ridiculed
Laughed at
Called a fool
My only problem, my deficit:
I feel love
I know it’s pure divine power
I want to scream it out loud and hand everyone flowers
I can’t say this without a raised eyebrow
Without assumptions, judgements, and speculations
Please wait for the doctor here’s your prescription
How can I not be this?
This is who I am
Why must I have to try so hard
Just for you to understand
I try to be open, but just keep getting hurt
The problem is, without openness,
The hurt is worse
Loneliness, sadness, and emptiness
I can’t feel love
Cause then I’m crazy,
But if I don’t feel love I am not me
Just a shell, broken, hurt, lonely and empty
Why is this what they want me to be?
Please Lord set me free
Bring me back to your dwelling
I remember the last time, But need some more telling
Instructions that are crystal clear
Bring Earth a bit more near
Closer to you and your simple instructions:
Love without restrictions
For all, in all directions
Basic formula:
Open heart
Open eyes
Open Mind
I would like for my heart to shine
And my eyes are closed
It is impossible to have my mind open
I know this is not what I want
I know this is not what the world needs
But right now it is how I feel
Can’t get my mind off of it, it is the deal
How do I connect with someone who doesn’t understand what I say

Nothing is Forever all is Eternal
Nothing is forever
A day only has 24 hours
There is only that day while it lasts
There is only a moment, a glimmer than it passes
Words only exist while they are spoken
A tree will not live forever
Its physical existence has a limited lifespan
It will grow, change, wilt and die
Each year it will loose leaves, grow them back
Grow new branches, loose others
We are not forever
Our happiness lasts a moment
Your smile, your kind words, warm my heart
You cannot be possessed
I am not a prize
Together we can be more, but it won’t last forever
We may love each other a week, a year, a lifetime
Our time will end, whether we choose or not
What we shared, who we became will last
In our next life we may meet again
In your eyes I will know your heart
I will know our connection
Once it may have been brief or long
Our love will last forever
The sun will go out
The earth may disappear
Life may go extinct
There will be a new sun
There will be a new earth
There will be new life
All things come from all things
All is eternal
A day only has 24 hours
There is only that day while it lasts
There is only a moment, a glimmer than it passes
Words only exist while they are spoken
A tree will not live forever
Its physical existence has a limited lifespan
It will grow, change, wilt and die
Each year it will loose leaves, grow them back
Grow new branches, loose others
We are not forever
Our happiness lasts a moment
Your smile, your kind words, warm my heart
You cannot be possessed
I am not a prize
Together we can be more, but it won’t last forever
We may love each other a week, a year, a lifetime
Our time will end, whether we choose or not
What we shared, who we became will last
In our next life we may meet again
In your eyes I will know your heart
I will know our connection
Once it may have been brief or long
Our love will last forever
The sun will go out
The earth may disappear
Life may go extinct
There will be a new sun
There will be a new earth
There will be new life
All things come from all things
All is eternal

Please Take a Piece
Please take a piece of my heart when you go
I gave you a piece of mine
The first time I saw your light shine
I was offering a piece
No desire to be brief
But wanted to get all the way beneath
Well underneath the top layer
The part that’s unique
That’s the part I’m trying to show
Through an open heart is how it does flow
Piece by piece I take it apart
Each piece I give, I get a piece of heart
The more open your heart the better
That is why we should share parts
Each part you give
Opens up your heart
A moment
A week
A month
A year
Eternity
Let’s not fear
No matter the time
Exchanging parts
Is how we open our hearts
I’m offering my piece to you
Please take it with
Put it with the other parts
Collect a patchwork heart
That way your light will shine
We will hold each other
We will serve the Divine
A girl taught me this lesson years ago
She offered me a piece
I didn’t even know
Year after year I would not let go
I cherished that piece
Thought it was the only one
Even when time took us apart
There was only her piece in my heart
Couldn’t see I needed to give
More pieces of my own
Not because it was wrong
Or I needed to atone
But, I needed to unlock my love
The lesson from above
Even though our time together is ending
I am being honest
Not pretending
Please take this piece
Like it or not I took part of yours
These are things you can’t find in stores
Please don’t be mad
Please don’t be upset
Believe it or not I’m glad we met
We’ve helped each other
Neither one of us set
So let’s exchange parts
I’ll give you a piece of mine
In return all I ask is some of your heart
I gave you a piece of mine
The first time I saw your light shine
I was offering a piece
No desire to be brief
But wanted to get all the way beneath
Well underneath the top layer
The part that’s unique
That’s the part I’m trying to show
Through an open heart is how it does flow
