Balancing Act

Here I am on another highwire,
only this one has a net.
No longer walking over fire,
But it's still hard to balance yet.
So much weight, can I hold it all?
It keeps shifting, will I fall?
The ex on my left, and my love on right,
My kids and my job, This is such a fight!
Finances, my house, will it come crashing down?
How do I balance all this on the ground?
I'm walking the best that I possibly can.
Up here on this highwire I pause and I stand...
Wondering how I'll ever lighten this load...
How to get off of this highwire and on down the road.

No Longer

No longer the pain from day to day,
No longer is my life wasting away,
No more bad circumstances forced,
NO LONGER owned, finally divorced!

There are those who say it's wrong,
Having no idea of my suffering for so long,
They say the things that they were taught,
They all dwell in the Land of Ought.

I don't care what any of them say,
I have joy, I see the light of day,
God doesn't curse this, He set me free,
Now I can live my life in light, thankfully.

Catching a Breeze in a Jar

Like catching a sweet breeze in a jar...
The words seem to come from afar
If I'm not ready at the breeze's sigh,
It will be too late, it will just go by.

It makes me sad when I see it go,
I should be more prepared, I know-
I should always keep a jar by my side
Before it's again blown out with the tide.

song in my dream

This is the song in my dream, sing,
this was the song while asleep,
this was the song, but now it's gone,
and I don't remember a thing.

this is the dream song I sang, see?
This is the song in my dreams,
Where nothing is at all as it seems;
Songs flow by in my dreams.

The world is so crazy in dreams, see?
Nothing is as it seems...
Language spoken is never the same
And you rarely feel any pain...
I don't think you feel the pain...uh

This is the song in my dreams, sing!
Songs flowing through to awake,
I got up to write them down-
but I don't remember a thing,
Just the tune to the song in my dream.
