Open Mind

A token of understanding
Is sometimes more infuriating
And less needed
Than a dose of simple reason
Let it go
Leave it alone
Stop being such a perfectionist
You can’t control everything
And you can’t change the past
But it always seems so simple
After mistakes are made
Once everything is lost
And there's nowhere to turn
Except inside
And finally begin
The transformation
And finally take the time
To wipe the slate clean
But what makes this time different
Is the secret I will share
With you
The difference is knowing
And keeping an open mind

The Love We Made

One day I will dance a parade
And shout for all the love we made
I'll carefully place each note forever
Inside an album of us together
For times apart keeps our souls colliding
Like atoms all at once dividing
A teardrop falls and's never lonely
Others follow 'cause I love you only
Peaceful yet this moment's pounding
The rhythm of my heartbeat sounding
And waking to your eyes is heaven
A dream's last thought to have you in them
When open to this moving picture
I'll hold a thought of us together
