" The End of the Trail "

Though it might be the end of the trail,

Could it be that beginning to fail,

To see the future beyond the horizon,

The sunsets and new moon of today and tomorrow,

Weary the traveler unfocused to see,

The horizons with sunsets and mountains and trees,

He might see beyond and further along,

 Way passed the horizons and how it could be,

If only the traveler took time to rest,

To view the vision of life at its best.

The wind it whispers as he stands on the hill,

The words from his memory of the past who has killed,

A memory of sadness, a memory of fear,

Visions of grief with eyes filled with tears,

Chief of the sunset and chief of the moon,

Have I a new life, will it come soon ?

No eyes has my sunset, the sun's going down,

Sleeping the memories for a new life is found,

I'm resting my body and watered my horse,

I've lived a chapter and followed a course,

And here I am resting, your  wisdom I ask,

Chief of the memories, of love of the past,

Oh ! Chief of the heavens how long will I fast?

For love of the future of peace and no pain,

Oh ! Chief of my wisdom give me faith for the future,

Give me visions and open my eyes,

To the sunrise of tomorrow and love in the skies,

The vision's so vivid, the vision's so clear,

The past has no present as long as you're here,

Oh ! chief of the heavens and chief of the rain,

My tears are a memory, my life not the same,

I see new horizons, new life as it may,

And even the past had joy that did stay,

For life as I see it, the rain it must come,

And the warmth of love will always follow the sun,

And though it might be the end of the trail,

This is not the beginning for me to fail...

 

" A Trail With No Fear "

The beginning of the trail,

My path has been shown,

By the love of your sunshine,

Oh! chief so refined,

For the visions of the light,

From  your sun and your moon,

To guide me in daytime and also at night,

My new life has a sunrise even after the sunset,

For you've given me vision

My life need no fret,

Oh! chief of the heavens, my dreams are so clear,

For as long as the moon glows and the sun it appears,

The rain cleans my memory and trees give me shade,

The warmth of the sun's rays keep me warm when I'm cold,

My heart has no room for the past and its fears,

For the love of music from the birds I can hear,

Oh! chief of my future and chief of my dreams,

As long as these visions appear in my eyes,

Through the love of the heavens and the beautiful skies,

I know there's a future and always a part,

For my dreams to be real in my soul and my heart,

In the light of day and the dark of night,

The visions, I travel by my soul filled with light,

By your words, whispered softly,

By your words pure and clear,

To follow the vision,

Of a trail with no fear...

" Higher Vision "

When he died, I died along with him,

When he died, he took my life with him,

Within my heart the sadness came,

My life I knew would never be the same,

His life was short, two years no more,

What was life, I could be sure,

For life within me changed its meaning,

My emotions had changed and so had my feelings,

My heart, it cried to love again,

To see sunshine to shine again,

A glow of light to shine on me,

Oh warmth of God, please set me free,

I've walked along the sandy shores,

My footprints in the sand no more,

My past has washed back to the sea,

I'm walking back not finding me,

Only but a soft imprint, a memory of a distant place,

Now standing here, no where to go,

No prints to follow, how do I know ?

Which way to travel, which path to take ?

Hoping for some stepping stones,

To take me to another place...

I look up to the skies and see,

A new beginning, a new time for me,

The path along the sands I've traveled,

Though that's passed I remember some,

The best of days and sunny ones,

And as I look into the skies,

I see the clouds and birds that fly,

A new formation, the clouds they change,

Our life it never can stay the same,

As I look at a new foundation,

I feel the warmth of a new sensation,

Visions of a new life to be,

Now a new life to set me free,

I've searched within my heart inside,

Looking for the dreams that hide,

And within my soul I've found the goals,

Towards the sun I see sunshine,

I know new life is finally mine,

For life is filled with so many dreams,

I've finally found what life can mean....

" One Step at a Time "

I see in front of me so many flights of stairs,

And so many stairs in each flight,

When I run up them too quickly, I trip and fall,

How am I going to get to the next flight ?

Maybe I should take one flight at a time,

Or even one stair at a time...

Looking at the flights ahead,

I run out of breath,

Even before attempting the first stair,

Place one foot at a time,

And take one step and you'll find,

The momentum of life take fight,

With new visions and sight...

Each step in every floor you take

Has a new beginning and a new outlook

As you venture up the flight of life,

See a new viewpoint,

And enjoy the beautiful visions

To be seen...

"Lets Be Friends"

I know the blood runs in your veins,

I know my blood runs just the same,

Your heart it feels the warmth of love,

And your eyes they see the rising sun,

Your hand can touch and feel mine too,

For I'm a person just like you

 

No matter where I maybe born,

No matter what my colour warn,

No matter how my face has shape,

I feel the sorrow, love and hate,

For I can see the moving clouds,

The clouds they cry with tears of pain,

To see beneath them - such a shame,

How each and every person is,

To one another through the years

 

Within my shoes please place your feet,

And take the steps while I walk the streets,

You'll feel the blisters as I walk,

The words I whisper as I talk,

You'll see the world just as I see,

So please my friend just let me be,

The person that I am inside,

Please don't make me run and hide,

Allow your visions to be clear,

And listen to the words  you hear,

All I ask...... is to be your friend

We're all people

you and me

In this world

Together - United

And hopefully forever free
