Songs of my Youth

 Free Birds Branch vector and picture

The music of my youth
it may be aging but, it's never dead
it's constantly playing in my head
filled with emotions and hidden truth

The music of my youth
traveling with me through time
sacred melodies, internal rhymes
searching my soul, becoming a sleuth

songs of hope for better days, days, days
will we ever find our way..way...way

The music of my youth
comforting me while singing the blues
or whenever, I am thinking of you
some memories you just can't dilute

The music of my youth
filled with riffs and weeping guitars
dreaming of a one-of-a kind star
listening to a piano or far away flute...

songs of hope for better days, days, days
will we ever find our way..way...way

Laying Down Tracks


wikimedia - Train Station Vincent van Gogh














We were young and carefree
lying our tracks side by side
on a  sandy beach
would we be ready when the
trained rolled in...

gathering under starlight
at the river's edge
getting our fill
from a red solo cup
sipping wine...seeking
redemption on the
shores of East Jesus..

we were young & reckless
listening to rock n' roll
sermons playin' on the radio
what preacher would save
our lost souls...

tryin' to make our way
from here to there...
drowning out the screams
"you better grow up"

we gathered the silent few
wanting to know the key to life
under the stars and moon
we sang our tunes...

here we shared our hopes
& dreams....
seeing the world, a different view
on a riverbed,  we found  peace
in the arms of night, someone
cared...

as the heavens shone above
we experienced love...salvation
to the clickity clack of the railroad
tracks...

found on the shores of East Jesus
