Lay It Down

Lay it down

From the day that you were born
till the time you were no more
There was singing from the balconies
there was laughing on the shore

We all heard you when you landed
smiled your first,cried your last
felt your mighty voices tremble
in this place that is so vast

Take on the fight,young William Clarence
Take all the weight and move on by
Put all your love into this world
Even when it leaves you dry

When the sea was grey and tossing
When the work was all but done
The time you moved into our hearts
We saw your love shine through the Son

Pick up the Cross,young Derrick William
in a world where you,ll stand tall
taller than the highest forest
Your tiny hand has touched them all

She,ll be waiting for you someday
the only place that will remain
a smile of confidence and comfort
When she,ll take you home again

Take it up and be excited
take it up and rest assured
Take us all along beside you
through the life that you endured

Move ahead among the paths of love
soft as your head lays down
touching all our lives from deep inside
Take up the cross and lay it down

Food For Thought

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that
wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You
will have your heart broken probably more than once and
it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so
remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight
with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things
an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast,
and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too
many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never
been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset
is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be
afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Sifting Thru The Ashes of Creativity

I really believe that my best times to create something of any kind, is when my mind has time to wonder.  I am never bored, however when I have time to "not think" about what I have to do, or be clocked in on someone else's time or someone else's dreams, I get creative on my own.   When I am busy with routine or making money, my creativity takes a back burner and simmers. Sometimes the flame goes out and I loose the thought forever.  I'm not talking one thing here; I mean a plethora of self induced projects that interest me.  Be it writing music, making a mess out of plaster and color, refinishing something that someone threw out cause they thought it was useless, those are my creations. When I am tired or just fried from thinking about other people's needs or activities, I end up dry.  I think being creative breeds creativity in ones self.  If you start to make something after being dormant for a while, the first one to three, kind of lack perfection because of the garbage you have to sift thru just to get to the point of familiar once again with your own abilities. Once that is out of the way, you start to gain ground and then you get in your comfort zone, that euphoria of undisturbed dedication where you forget to track your time, forget to eat, your fingers bleed or you snap at outside interruptions if they come into your consciousness.  Sounds like turning into an asshole eh…. Well, it happens.

I think some people create crap and never get better because they stop after the first or second failure in their own eyes.  Hence the never getting familiar with your own ability and improve on it.  So many people never get to the part where it starts to mesh all by itself with your own efforts, because they give up or get lazy.  I am guilty on that in a few areas.  The areas I got lucky on though… I still cling to. I feel the need coming on to hibernate and shut off the phone, shut down the computer, grab an instrument and plug in to another world that has been waiting for me for some time now.  Not quite there yet, soon I will see if I can open that door again, get past the first batch of shit and get to…. Where I need to be for a while to remember who I am.  Tune it or die.
