Walking Barefoot After A Rainstorm


I walked in the field, barefoot, after a rainstorm.

The grass was wet and sticky. The birds were singing and hunting for worms. Small, cold puddles of water lay on the ground under my feet. There was mud everywhere. Grass caressed my toes while rocks tickled them.

I smelled the air, breathing the damp and foggy aroma. I rested my legs in a fresh, peaceful water puddle. I could hear the water dripping from trees and making gulping sounds when falling in the pond. I dropped my back in the wet grass, looking at the sky. Birds were cheerfully singing as they washed themselves after a fresh bath.

I got up to walk home, whistling a tune that was in my head. I picked up, on the road, a blue flower. Its smell was a natural healing scent. The dirt of the earth was getting warmer and harder as the sun kept peaking through the clouds.

I took in a last look, a last smell, a last peaceful moment. Summer was here. I felt like dancing.

TBT: Globe (2007)

I was looking at myself, mirror
A mirror I found in my heart
I tried to see truth
I yearned to see love
But I could not see any clearer
My eyes forgave me, tears
Tears I found in my soul
I tried to see my past
I yearned to see my future
But I could not be wiser
Never too late to be free
I found myself understanding
When I was looking at you
I was really looking at me

Canvas

I can’t wait to share happiness,
The true joy of hearing your voice-
I will never experience it for the first time again

Use my life as your catalyst...

I can’t turn back once discovered,
The true meaning of seeing you smile-
I will never forget what made you laugh again

Use my soul as your canvas...

Tug of War

Fight your way across the bridge of despair
Courage in hand with mighty dare
Come hell spawn in secret darkness
No fear as you proudly confess
There is nothing that will stop you
There is no one that will outlast you

Grab destiny across fate and yore
Bravery in demand in the tug of war
Come seduction with a secret kiss
No fear as you proudly resist
There is nothing that will break you
There is no one that can weaken you

TBT: Breathe My Friend (1997)

When I once again knelt
down to thy feet,
thine arms were lifeless,
scant of energy...
I...I...forgot her name,
how could I;
blessed soul, blessed world!!
I HAD A DROP OF FREEDOM!!!
but I gave it to her...it wasn't enough...
and again as I marched forth,
shan't I live for thee,
for she wasn't immortal,
neither am I...neither am I....
but should I regress?
for my heart, for her love,
I would have given more
than my last drop of freedom,
I would have given my last drop of life...
I love her...

Blueprint

Feel the energy
Moving through your hand
Let me take a peak
Even though
You make me weak
I will try my best
To remember all the details
I promise
Patience will not go unappreciated
Nothing in my life
Has gone as planned
Let me take a moment
Even though
Ignorance gives me no enjoyment
I will try my best
To not destroy all you are
I promise
It will not be noticed
But I don’t know
Where to stand

TBT: One More Darkness (2010)

Sounds of darkness
Jumping in my mind
I have not been able to find this fear
I want to believe everything you tell me
I want to destroy everything you give me

One more darkness
All I want to need
You have not been able to find peace
You want to lie to those you love
You want to find peace in everything but you

Illusions of darkness
Finding happiness in your mind
I have not been able to convince you
I want to expose every secret you tell me
I want to crush every secret you give me

One more darkness
All I want to feed
You have not been able to convince me
You want to lay in a bed of lies
You want to find peace every time but now

Jade and Ebb

Where did I come from?
I did not tempt the fresh grave
There are no more dangerous traps
Than the ones we lay down ourselves
Despite all the freedom that we crave

What am I doing?
I did not sneak through the fire
There are no more ominous minds
Than the ones we create ourselves
Despite all the rewards that we desire

Where do I go?
I did not sin out of greed
There are no more broken chains
Than the ones we forge ourselves
Despite all the rescuing that we need
