A month on my own
not sure if I've grown
but this much is known
the days don't go slow

Sunrise brings another working morning
poems in my head start forming
and there never seems to be slowing
the steady pace I've been knowing

Lifting frieght, boxes & furniture
praying to heaven this isn't my future
but as every night is terrible torture
I grow evermore wary and unsure

the voices I hear say I'm on the right track
I gain nothing now if tonight I turn back
So I stare at the clock as tommorrow's lunch I pack
At night I close my eyes and all I see is black

Another month ahead, week by week, day by day
Every man sits and plans and makes his own way
I'll surely keep on living, if God allows I may
and hold Hope for the day I am given my say

A Man Alone
2003-10-03 09:33:54 ET

A Man Alone is an oddity
a strange sight in this age
A man alone runs the risk
of being a target for rage
a man alone draws gawkers
denying his title and name\
A man alone draws questions
"what's the purpose" and "is he sane?"

But why must a man be crazy
to want some space to himself
for creativity, prayer, and oddly enough,
mental health?

A man alone is a rebel
and a hero to his cause
a man alone rarely asks
to have himself set apart
But a man alone creates distrust
and demands retribution
For a man alone unto himself
is his own solution

the Winds of Change

Storm clouds
slide away
from the city
and it's inhabitants
take toll
of damage and loses

the Real World ain't
a show on MTV
it's a place they kick you
after they give you
your degree

Trained in your craft
and experienced in your trade
they never bother to explain
decisions that must be made

Where to work
how to live
What would Jesus do?
Your Priorities
and Plans
does Integrity mean much to you?
to work for a living
or live for your work
How will you get there
if you're trapped in the dark
what friendships to let go
and which ones will last
these are just some of the things
they never teach in class

But the Real World
is full of Promise
and Hope for those
who choose it
and Opportunites abound
for those who can use it.

One thing you may miss
if you don't watch the Time
no matter what you do
the Real World keeps rolling by

Angie,
Angie,
when will those clouds all disappear?

Angie,
Angie,
where will it lead us from here?

With no loving in our souls
and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied

But Angie,
Angie,
you can't say we never tried

Angie, you're beautiful,
but ain't it time we said good bye?

Angie, I still love you,
remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close
seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear

Angie,
Angie,
where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep,
all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie,
Angie,
ain't it time we said good bye?

With no loving in our souls
and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied

But Angie, I still love you, baby
Everywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman
that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie,
Angie, ain't it good to be alive?

Angie,
Angie,
they can't say we never tried
