People.

Sometimes you wander into peoples lives

Sometimes people wander into yours

*

Some people are born into your life

*

Sometimes you find love

Sometimes you are given love

If you are lucky

Sometimes you fall in love

Sometimes you fall out of love

*

Some people leave their fingerprints on your soul

And some leave their fingerprints in your heart

Some quickly leave

Some never part

*

Some pass by and leave no ripple

*

Some bring salvation 

Some bring what you need

Some leave too soon

But sow their seed

*

Some bring forever

And some bring never

*

Some say yes

But left you to guess

Some say yes

And mean it

*

Some bring rhythm

And some bring rhyme

*

Some are singers

And some are the song

Some did it right

Some got it wrong

*

Some leave regrets

Some leave a smile

Some bring forgiveness 

And it helps for a while

*

Some hold your hand

But some hold your heart

Some are there at the end

Some were there from the start 

*

From some you learn 

To some you teach

For some you yearn

But out of reach

*

Some bring the truth

Some wrapped in lies

For some you’d live

For some you’d die

*

Some come as strangers

But stay by your side

Some simply were passing 

On life’s carousel ride

*

Some leave their hand prints

Some leave only footprints

Some bring tidal waves of disruption

But some bring tranquility

*

Some change you forever

Sometimes you change them

*

Some bring a key

Some bring chains

Some bring poetry

And some bring pain

*

Some open your eyes 

Some help you to see

Some meant for nothing

But some meant to be

*

One brought to you

One half of his soul 

Which formed around yours

To make you both whole

*

Some pass through your life 

with barely a glance

Some swayed in your arms

And taught you to dance

*

Some linger a while and then quietly go

Some stay

Some die

Some remain with us forever

Some leave us

*

Some open your mind

Some open your heart

*

Some bring words

Some take them away 

Some give you tomorrow 

Some take your today

*

Some bring flowers

Some bring hope

Some carry dreams

And some are dreams

Some are dreamers

*

Some are romantics

Some seek the faith

*

Some bring tears

Some bring rainbows

Some make a difference

Some are meant to be

Some just want to be

Some bring a burden

Some carry your load

*

Some we never see

Some we never know

Some we never hear

*

Some make us laugh

Some make us cry

Some hold tight to our hands

Some leave us to die

*

Some are meant to be

Some can never be

Some will never be

Some will always be

*

Some are drifting on the breeze

Some are the breeze

*

Some bring answers

Some leave questions 

*

Some are robins

Some are crows

*

Some are users

Some are sadly abusers

*

But which ones had value

You miss but so few

It’s the one who dies trying 

That should matter to you

*

Who are they all?

*

They are the chapters in our life

The people who make us who we are.

Those we met along the way

They are me

They are you

They are them

And him and her

They are Us

*

They are the words to our song

*

They are the music that carries our words

*

Place names on our journey through time.

*

That is me

*

And who are you?

You never walk alone.

Between the Black place and the Shadowlands

Where the dreams had lived and died

Is the lake that is Gethsemane

Born from teardrops that you cried

The shoreline and the empty beach

The footsteps in the sand

The breathless air, the Howling Gale

The empty reaching hand

The fires that burn within us

Fed by the Flames of Fate

Are there but for the fortunate

‘Fore time soft close the gate

So look around, then look around

Then look around again

My fingerprints are on your heart

To take away your pain

On the long walk back, from where you’ve been

From a Best Forgotten place

If you dare to look through broken eyes

You’ll see love upon my face

it’s a long hard road that brings us here

But now the bell of freedom rings

And the only thing that matters now

Is what dawn, tomorrow, will bring.
