Memories



As memories fade
We seek a new day
I didn't have it made
But that does not mean decay

These things make us stronger
Like a caterpillar from its chrysalis
As the days get longer
We realize we were made for more than this

Mediocre life, lots of strife
No longer - no more
Life is getting better
Maybe something good is in store

So, I'll just keep going First...

Elsewhere

Where is elsewhere? Is it in my minds eye? Is it in a lie ?  Is it having fun at the fair ? Where is elsewhere?  Is it at the beach?  Is it out of reach ?  Do you even care ?  Where is elsewhere?  Is it in the past ?  Will it even last ?  It’s secrets, can I bare ?  Where is elsewhere?  Is it in my feelings ?  Rocking and reeling Over there, or nowhere? Here is elsewhere! Inside of me And you, whoever you might be ?  This is elsewhere!
