brain storm #9

humbly contemplating
the idea of mortality
seeking to understand
my own morality

thinking of things
that don't get thought
hoping and praying
that I don't get caught

knowing there's places
we should not go

within the mind

and without the soul

have I gained the strength

to handle it better

or should it all stay

in an open letter

it's not that sad really

it doesn't have to be

no matter what happens

I will always be me

so don't get down

unless you are dancing

keep on smiling, laughing,

and gently romancing

There's a story there somewhere, I can feel it

Never even noticed 

the meter running 

backwards

Was too busy 

gathering up manna 

from the lawn

Didn't occur to me 

that the birds 

were barely speaking

But once they stopped

so did I

but not for long

There's a story there 

some where

I can feel it

-b2

that's what I'm talking about....

yeah

that's what I'm talking about

the last cup of coffee 

fills your cup to the rim
waking up early

hitting it hard at the gym

yeah

that's what I'm talking about

feeling it on Friday

sinking every shot
knowing Who to thank for everything ya' got

yeah

that's what I'm talking about

chasing the dream

and blazing a path
it all adds up

you do the math

waking up thankful

falling asleep at peace
knowing you're on a roll 

that just won't cease

yeah

that's what I'm talking about

hugs out the door

kisses on the way back in
they're always glad you're home however far you've been

lessons to be learned

challenges we overcome

many as a family

all alone for only some

yeah

that's what I'm talking about

listening more than you speak

hearing all that's said
knowing what's important

clear by where you head

focus on the now

plan for what's comes after
there will be time for tears

but now there's only laughter

yeah

that's what I'm talking about
