Smiles

Thoughts of the future bring me smiles
Even in those darkest of hours
When my memories well up inside
And I can feel their emotions
As the wind caresses their open wound

And as the future unfurls in front of me
Fear resides, but love overpowers all
And the joy and warmth brings out my smiles
Turning thoughts of sadness into joy
And all those missteps, all those failures
Become something as they have led to this moment

I shall never let go of, as I shall always have its smile

Untitled Dreams

In my hand I hold my wallet
Inside rests faded dreams, faded sorrows
The ghosts of opportunities past
Creep out through the leather folds
In the pictures of my past days
Faded memories I fear of losing
Moments in time I can’t let go of
And still I hold on like there is no tomorrow

But every dream is another sorrow
I wrap them up into a package
And keep that package deep down inside
So that I can remember
Remember all those feelings
For tomorrow

Still I dream and I look forward
Hoping to glimpse a sight beyond sorrow
Dreams may be flighty
But my resolve remains
And so I push onward
Into tomorrow
