You played the game?
So you played the game?
You played honest and well?
You had fun?
For, as long as that is
Doesn't matter
You lost or won.

Hello world!
Just another guy, I am
Amongst you.
A speck in the Universe, or,
May be you.

An Ideal Partner
A rhythmic strum
A string plucked,
In synchrony
A complementary note
A major, a minor
All in perfect harmony
A smile, a frequency,
A melody
That resonates through Eternity.

Two places
As I watch myself
I find that I'm everywhere
Between an adventure and a home
Between two ideologies
Two hearts,,two emotions,
P'raps lost on the path of virtuosity
You brush across many
On the narrow streets of life
Most of them just pass you by
A few remain forever.

Who am I
Who arst I, I ask myself often
And whence I know, I know,
I need know nothin’ more
I need say nothin’ more
And whence I know, I know,
I need know nothin’ more
I need say nothin’ more

Two Bogies
Bogies of different trains we are
That met at a station
We share more than the cursory
An attachment more than the evident
Now as the guard blows the whistle
And you pull out of the station
The heart beats faster
The lips quaver
Alas your track runs different
Our destinations seem afar
The journey is long
Many stations would come along
And deep down I hope
- oh how I wish I knew what to hope -
That our paths would cross
And we would meet yet again
At another station
That met at a station
We share more than the cursory

Now as the guard blows the whistle
And you pull out of the station
The heart beats faster
The lips quaver
Alas your track runs different
Our destinations seem afar
The journey is long
Many stations would come along
And deep down I hope
- oh how I wish I knew what to hope -
That our paths would cross
And we would meet yet again
At another station
Engines
Engines of different trains we are
That met at a station
We share more than the cursory
An attachment more than the evident
Now as the guard blows the whistle
And you pull out of the station
The heart beats faster
The lips quaver
Alas your track runs different
Our destinations seem afar
But the journey is long
There are many stations along
And deep down I hope
- oh how I knew what to hope -
That our paths would cross
And we would meet yet again
At another station

That our paths would cross
And we would meet yet again

A Purpose Hidden
Millions in the melee
Each a story, an ego
Like I, like you
And a purpose
Lost, hidden
Deep beneath the layers
Of existence

Like I, like you
And a purpose
Lost, hidden
Deep beneath the layers

A Connect
As I sleep beneath the sky
And look up at the stars
I grasp to rekindle a Connect
That had lit me once
Of the stars, and I
And the whole wide world
A warm, gentle Quiet
That had pierced me thus
And look up at the stars
I grasp to rekindle a Connect
That had lit me once
Of the stars, and I
And the whole wide world
A warm, gentle Quiet
That had pierced me thus
