A Soul A-part

Each born a mass of jaggered shards,
soon scattered like so many cards,
as through the years each piece is turned,
and joined or to the void returned,

Each fragment over time evolves,
the shape within each mind resolves,
as time wears on the lines are crossed,
and sections found soon can be lost,

Each aims to end this life intact,
alas we seldom keep that pact,
as through the years this puzzle turns,
and to the void each soul returns.

Verse #6

The past is gone- we can't go back,
the future clothed in shades of black,
the present is all that is true,
the only time to start a-new.

Verse #5

We see the world in youth,
from the window sill of truth,
but through growing up this hides,
behind the curtain rail of lies.

Verse #4

The pencil of the mind
must meet the paper of the soul
to reveal the words of the heart.

Verse #3

The dreams that dance within my mind,
form worlds that only i can find,
speak words that echo to my kind,
spark thoughts that cannot be confined.

A Time for Now

a time to cheer, a time to cry,
a time to live, a time to die,
a time to sleep, a time to wake,
a time for real, a time for fake,

a time for truth, a time to lie,
a time to laugh, a time to sigh,
a time to stand, a time to fall,
a time for one, a time for all,

a time for love, a time for hate,
a time to run, a time to wait,
a time to stay, a time to flee,
a time for you, a time for me.
