In The Evening

In the evening when I am tired

And reflect back upon the day

On all I've done and haven't

I wonder have I lost my way

What was the goal when

I abandoned my life's road

Stood at the crossing and made

The best decision I could?

Shedding so many tears

Weeping at night alone

Lived the life I had chosen

Reaping the seeds I'd sewn

I made a break. . .

If I have no expectations

Then I won't be disappointed

Feeling my path is one

That God tenderly anointed

Ease my heart dear Lord

For tonight I am feeling weak

Purpose eludes me now

Your answers I do seek

In the evening when I am tired

And the morning light so far

I wonder how long the dark

Will be until it is tomorrow.

Inside My Soul

I lost all hope when my friend died

I lost my soul with each tear I cried

I was a shell, but to all I lied

Because I had nothing left inside

I slipped away as I felt alone

No where I went was my home

A smile I wore, but no joy in me

My shame was I had become empty

I walked the path that laid out before

With no desire inside for more

To think of them and not to be

Was the only choice for me

At night I cried for all I'd lost

My sorrow deep, my soul the cost

I lay alone in an empty bed

Closed off my heart, turned off my head

When hope stepped in I saw a light

To face my life through all my fright

And take the step to lead me home

Inside my soul, to be my own

Faith To Fall

Standing on the edge of the abyss,

I take the leap,

Nothing more that a meek step,

Who knows how deep.

Moving at the speed of light,

The wind rushes past

My chest overwhelmed with fear

Nothing on which to grasp

Pushing the pedal to it's limit

Turn the volume high

Staying within the white street lines

Flying too fast to cry

My heart is full of fear

My blood pumps in my ears

My hands an empty grasp

The wind is rushing fast

I can't catch my breath

I'm sure to meet my death

This is the end of me

I feel I'm falling free
