LIVE LIFE


One day I may die for no reason, nothing in particular
My little one don't judge me when I no longer feel strong enough to hold a brave face
When no one can see it but the weight I carry breaks me down
Little one don't be embarrassed when what I could let go swallows me up
And I sink to the bottom of lifelessness 
My little one I want you to be proud of me
When this cancer takes me home and I can no longer sing you a song
Baby I love you don't think I loved to abandon you
It is only that I am sick and no one should know
So when my sickness overwhelms me and I choose to dive into afterlife head first
Love me like you loved me yesterday, tell Mama to sing to you the songs I sung
When I fall off the tree of life, do not cut me off the family tree 
Remember that I brought you forth to shine brighter
I pray you be kept away from all my illness by Sana
Let life protect you and keep you shining like pure light
Let love and life reflect on you the true meaning of humanity
Let you live life like life live and love like love would love
Live

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more
