THE LITTLE THINGS

It's the little things that become a flood,
Small drops of water that turn to blood;
We felt the pain home and abroad,
Held it back, no reactions. But—

It's the last straw that breaks the camel's back,
Everything comes flooding from the past,
Like concrete that was cast in stone,
We remember the past like broken bones,
Yet we move forward like rolling stones.

What held us back now drives us on,
The things altogether that weighed a ton;
One good turn deserves another one,
Slap our cheeks and the left we'll turn:

Live to the fullest, have some fun,
Yet, in purity, your light to burn;
For it's the little things that become a flood,
Small drops of water that turn to blood..

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings  I went deep down the ocean depths  The primordial power of the earth I felt  Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence  I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze  In high spirits, but my energy spent  Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze  It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent   These answers are worth more per every cent  Yet on my strength I can't depend  To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response  In the thunder, there was no reply  But in the g...
