Stop Lying, My Friend

Open your eyes and look honestly
Stop the deception and see reality
Nothing doing to admit what is true
Wasting your time hiding behind the booze, the travel, 
the fake laughter, the chatter
True joy takes home behind the untruth
Once you admit
There is nothing more to lose
Look at my eyes and see the warmth
Words may be harsh to your ears but that's all
Just take a step closer to you
Walk through the mud, break out of the cocoon
There you will see a big tree of hope
You can lie down beneath into the arms once folded
Sink deeper still into the dark of calm
It is there. it is there
That you will be found

Out of Prison

Like a fountain
You should be
Not like an empty container
With a hole that leaks
Everything that has been poured
Into thee
While you wait for me
Without knowing how to 
See all that is already yours
Wanting more each day
Feeling a lack
Despite the attempts
Made to climb the ladder up
Step out of your box
It's poorly lit inside
Fly higher than the tree
That's been watching you for months
It's tiring to be 
Available to thee
There is a tiny piece
Of giving and of peace
Inside the hungry heart
Hiding behind the refined tongue
Like a fountain
You should be
Life giving to those 
Around thee
Only then you will
Be flying free

Find Me

Only if you want it
Only if you want
Find the road that leads you
Straight into the cove

I don't want to haunt you
I don't want to entice
If you want to know
Take one step and try

We will sit together
We may even sing
Leave the lie behind you
Spread the angel's wings

Come this way unsteady
Fall and try again
Waiting is a skill to nourish
Come, don't shy away

I don't want to chase you
Nor persuade no more
If you see a fire
It's for you to know

I will sit alone
Patient, yet demand
When you approach near
Take off your shoes
And rest
