~secret sorrow~
your searching eyes met with mine locked in a gaze i'll remember for days sad brown eyes i feel your pain for although you hide they say so much
sad brown eyes they cannot hide a light in your eyes that shines when you smile it lights up the gloom and i know now that i don't know much but i wish that you'll be happy
all i'll give for your smile

  not all those who wander are lost

I can still remember those screeching brakes
when i nearly hit an elk one night
and a couple of deers on another day

those pesky bisons that cause jams when you are in a rush
and the one we met after fording a river
blocking our trail like a gatekeeper

lost trail markers and bushwhack-ing

the feeling of the road beneath me
90 miles per hour on the interstate
passing those big trucks lit like giant wraiths
burning rubber till the dawn

the stinging sensation on my face
and the pain in my ears
after getting hit by those cold pacific waves

watching the fountains of belagio five times in a row
jogging around central park on those cool evenings
running up that exact flight of stairs rocky did

but tomorrow comes and sorrow becomes his soulmate
