Rays of the sun

The light in the window
Shining down on those who care to wonder
They are waiting for the chance
Waiting for you...
And tomorrow comes, and goes
Days, nights and days again
The light still shines
upon new times
Only to find....
You're back to square one
But you're not the only one
And the battle's lost, and won
But we have barely just begun

Realist or idealist?

Sometimes when you step away from the world,
And make the time to listen
Things appear before your eyes
Black and white to color
Analogue to digital
The unreal and magical
Introspection satisfaction
An open heart and mind
words...action
Forces of attraction
And all we can find
Maybe some peace of mind?
Time to unwind?
Things can become clear,
Or confuse you even more
You answer a question,
Asking ten more,
Better or worse than what came before.
Then it's time, before you know it
Reality takes hold
You're back in the fold
Thrown around with the tide
The long haul and ride
Longing for that time to step outside...
