The Gift

The Gift

One in the world
None even close
Outshines a diamond
Brightest, I suppose

Unique like a snowflake
Tasty like some fries
Music to my ears
Symphony for my eyes

I’m lucky just to be with you
To be with you this morn
The greatest gift I ever knew
I’m glad that you were born

Who Stands to Gain

Who Stands to Gain?

Who stands to gain
From the pain that
Comes with the rain

Who spins the wheel
That picks the meal
That begins to heal
The pain that the poor feel

I’ve seen the answer at
The bottom of a bowl
I didn’t know what it was
So I just ate and ingested
And later in life when I heard the buzz
It was too late because the answer was digested

I had it again
It was in my notes
I had written it down
I found out the reason it floats
It was clear to me for that one moment
It was clear to me what those rocks at stonehenge meant
But then again with the flick of a pen
The words that I wrote
Became just marks of a chicken
And I knew that my life which had never been clear
Would be cloudy again
Would be not without fear
The fear that exists in the back of my mind
In the pit of the places that only I find

The irrational scare that can start from a tear
A nick in the fabric
That makes a healthy man sick
Sick in the head
Sick in the soul sick in the heart
And loose his control

So out on the streets
Out on my ass
Out in the rain
To feel the pain
The pain that came with the rain
And flooded my being

And of course the answer was me all along
I caused the pain
I take responsibility
But do I stand to gain.
