Cast No Shadow

Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to say
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow

Drifting

I sometimes find I'm drifting
Through this life without effect;
I often wonder if I'm truly
Worth what I've been blessed.

I search through days that have been hard,
To try to understand,
The many trials that I have known,
The life that I have had.

You see me in my daily grind,
So confident and strong;
Yet when I am alone,
I questionJust where I belong.

I often try too hard I find,
To analyze and guess,
To scrutinize, investigate
My life I will confess.

For somewhere deeper, there must be
Some meaning to this life,
Some way to make a difference,
Give a reason for this strife.

Is there some hidden meaning?
Some agenda to be found?
A greater purpose waiting
If I care to hang around?

It teases and it taunts me,
Always slightly out of sight;
A hazy vision out of reach,
Where darkness hides the light.

I struggle to bring clarity
To what awaits me there,
And yet this weak illusion
Always fades before my stare.

It seems the harder that I try,
To focus through the haze,
Just serves to add more questions,
Through my endless, tired gaze.

Perhaps I'm trying just too hard,
To understand it all,
For can we ever truly know
Just what we have in store?

Each incident, each moment passed,
Just adds upon the next,
But in the end, will I find truth ...
Or will I be perplexed?

Perhaps I make it harder
Than it has to be sometimes,
But will my searching bring to me
My meaning over time?

Or will it leave me broken,
And confused as I feel now,
While questions bring no solitude,
To this, my wrinkled brow.

A special day for a lost dear friend....
Happy Birthday Sonny

恰似你的温柔

某年某月的某一天,

就象一张破碎的脸.

难以开口道再见,

就让一切走远.

这不是一件容易的事,

我们却都没有哭泣.

让它淡淡地来,

让它好好地去.

到如今年复一年,

我不能停止怀念.

怀念你,怀念从前.

但愿那海风再起,

只为那浪花的手,

恰似你的温柔.

Smother or Smoulder

Apparently I was told to smoulder but I ended up looking ..... I don't know .... Do you?

Trust

For too many days now
I've wandered the city streets & Back Bay
Hoping to find the Right Way
Instead I met Emptiness & Pain

For too many months now
I've begged for Patience & Strength
Searching for Advice & a trustful friend
And ran into something I can't understand

For too many years now
I've prayed for Truth & Happiness
Yet I'm still searching for Peace & Forgiveness
Lost into the mist of night of ghosts & promises
