CAPE COD - REVISITED
(Jan 25th 2005)

Something missing here
Last time I came without
No toothbrush, no toothpaste
No money, no bathing suit

I sat right here, seashore
Gazing out upon the waves
Gazing out, sitting alone
Cold wind chills to the bone

Lying down
Facing down
Pen scratching
Utter nonsense

Looked around me
Something's missing
Though about my toothbrush
And where it is now

Then looked in the sky
And realized with a start
The sun had disappeared
And all around was dark

The toothbrush doesn't matter
Nor money nor bathing suit
All that was really missing
Was my sweet sunshine

And now, standing in the light
I look back upon my days
Remember the missing toothbrush
Still missing even today

But looking up in the sky
I see the sun is shining
My sweet sunshine is here
Until the final sundown

LOOKING BACK
(Jan 25th 2005)

Look back upon the path
Lefts replace rights
Twists replace turns
Turns ignored
Signs destroyed
Paths abandoned

And I wonder why
I never stopped to look
To read the simple signs
Or tunred my footsteps aside

Then I realize

Life's a journey
We live to learn
No right, no wrong
Only time to tell

Now, finally in the light
Looking fowards not backwards
Believing & trusting now in
My choices
My love
My heart
