Wait for me As I tread the bumpy grounds Wait for me As I count my rounds Wait for me As I take deep breaths Wait for me As I gather the wreaths Wait for me As the coins jingle in my pocket Wait for me As I check my locket Wait for me As I pay the ferryman your due Wait for me As my heart speaks what's true Wait for me As I water the soil with my tears Wait for me As I recall the years Wait for me As I dig your sad pit Wait for me As I decide to sit Wait for me As I pray above your grave Wait for me As I accept there's one I save Wait for me As I wonder how I'll behave Wait for me As I depart with a final wish Wait for me As I gaze above where you're with the rich

I let my fingers slip the potion of sand I took one whiff, and I entered dreamland Curses I spoke none, not another breath My body slumped in the arms of Death No, at a plane that no one may reach A vacuum, a potential at the beach Deceived, do my ears hear no sound Will my legs navigate me to wake up town Time, I have much to spare The anchor, tug and pull I must be aware Fingers glide the strokes of the mist Picture perfect painting you brought me bliss My straight lips curve to a beam Let me continue to dream

Might I wish for a favor tonight Should I kneel to fulfill a request Can I embrace your warm light May I be the one to call you my quest What pulls you to our Earth What does your stay entail Should I be on alert Will you take my pail Do I ask for more time Should I write a cautionary letter Will my tale be sublime Must I tell myself nothing gets better Give me a sign that I can read A way for me to make out from a distance Big and bold even for the feeble mind to heed All I need is your glance

What once was there Became a place of none What once holds dear Must have been fun Your stories sunk and drown Forgotten and old Yet worthy of a royal crown It must continue to be told A home so small Enough to dress in earth A twitching ear perked to the call For there is some worth The stories lost in the flood Found the one who has hurled A sign that taught the green bud To be open to the world

My body is too numb to leave the cold ground I can't bother to call around The valley I rest on is much too vast And I look too small to be noticed in the mass I am one Yet I am none Do I ask for help? Can I yelp? How should I make the first move? How do I prove? I am right there Yet none know I am here I left a clue in the fog For I am no log I breathe the same as life for years For I made sure to save my tears I don't wish to shrivel on instant I cannot create floods as does an infant They spark energy, but weigh a pail of rain I have been called a rock, but underneath it's all pain I wait more to calm my stormy heart For I am too afraid to split myself apart I ask this to avoid having to say goodbye Where am I

Listen what's that from afar? Could this be the sound of a roar? But why does the ground shake? Is it this an earthquake? What is that at the top? Should I go over and hop? Mister drummer is that you? Am I ruining your cue? Will you let me stay to see you play? Will you play again for another day? Why does my heart pound? Why does my voice have a muffled sound? Am I seeing rain? Am I feeling pain? Why do you hurt me so? Why did you left me in the cold? Did you know how long I wait? Did you know how many times I check the date? Do you know how I feel? How do I know you are real? Will you play louder for me? Will I have to plea? Can you give me a call? I want to hear your all

Orange and yellow Surprising my small brown eyes Turning them golden

Mother brings her daughter a gift "A present for my sweet love" The little girl looks with curiosity "What is it?" Mother gave her a smile "Open it" And so the little girl did "Is this really for me?" Mother's smile grew wider "Do you like her?" The little girl gives the doll a hug "I love her. She looks like my sister" Mother kisses her cheek "Take good care of her" The little girl stares at her in the eyes "I promise to never let her leave my side" Mother looks at her with adoration "Make your mother proud" The little girl always has the doll by her side She carries her wherever she goes Mother is always watching her She loves the little girl for keeping her word The little girl never lets the doll go She is always with her even when she sleeps Mother is always there in her dreams She leaves when morning light shows The little girl went to venture out She carries the doll on her back Mother is gone and she needs to find her She leaves when she hears a
