My Last Waltz

This is a song I wrote about valentines day a while back. Written down it looks pretty stupid, but I like how it sounds when I sing and play it on the guitar, which I haven't done for anybody.

“No!” said the clouds to the sun trying to shine.
“Sorry.”, whirred the bullet that left the gun.
“When?” said the man with his head in his hands.
“Forget.”, whispered the wind that bit the man’s face.
“Who?” said the woman who wouldn’t decide.
“No!” said the river that pounded the dam.
“Hate!” said the outlaw just before he was hung.

"Love..." thought the man who sat alone on the hill.
The devil laughed as the widow cried until she whispered sweet lullabies…
The devil laughed as the widow cried until she whispered sweet lullabies…

I'm gonna come back one day.

A Trip To The Unknown

Our lives are busy and frantic, and often days speed by in blurs of time. Work and money keep the show running while it could take some time to realize that if we are not careful, we could lose some of our most valuable attributes. When is the last time a flower was carefully observed, noting the finest details of it? Or the sway of the waist high meadow grass in the fall, with the wind blowing away the songs and memories of summer? Or the rolling waters of the South Fork of the Snake River accompanied by a four count rhythm and moths dancing on the water to welcome the shadows of dusk? Miracles happen around us everyday, from seeds setting in the soil and growing through photosynthesis, to realizing that the person that matters the most is the one that makes you forget about the things that make our days go by in a blur of time, they are the ones who make you forget time is even flowing. When realism hits us, we still have that suspended timeless moment in our minds that we will be able to take to the eternities...it's these moments that make me fully realize how much I've missed her.
