my song and dance

I am my own song singing
Loud and long and without relief
No one to accompany and play along
With me to give it depth and shine

I am my own light shining
Bright and clear and without a mirror
No one to take time to reflect
With me to provide assurance

I am my own partner dancing
Strong and going hard without a check
No one to push back a little
With to offer guidance and direction

Singing with a light in my eyes
As I dance the whole floor by myself
I continue on with arms outstretched
All the day long longing for support

Independent and persevering
Through the dark, long winter's night

you can

Leading an invigorating life needs only time
The kind of time that is had by investing
In each day, find a way to invest the kind of time
It takes to be invigorated and invigorating
Seek out opportunity to do something differently
To make a difference—to change
Because you can

The impact of your smile
The way in which you change the world
One day at a time
The power that is yours
In the power of choice
Invigorate your life, and you'll invigorate others'
Because you can

Creating space for more
Invading the darkness
Leaving it no place in your heart
Nowhere to hide
Making lovingkindness the watchword
For everything you do
Because you can

The choice, the attitude, the way you use
Your time proves what kind of person
You will become
Be invigorated
Be invigorating
Make life amazing
Because you can

to dream with me

People often say 

The most important things in life aren't things

People often say

Take care of the things you love

I'm not a thing, but take care of me

If I'm so important

The world won't stop without me

But it will be better than anything 

We've ever known

In the center of our souls

That this is where it's at

Friends who love each other

We are a we

Destined for great things that are not things

If you let yourself lock it down

Finally, for real, for always

ours

Like a wave washing over and crashing down at once

This love

Like a silence now broken sweeping across the land

This love

Like a valley with meadows and brooklets bubbling over

This love

Like a jagged peak thrilling yet instilling a measure of fear

This love

Like a morning, even many, laced with words and sunshine and stars

This love

Like a brisk dawn radiating warmth with its every ray upon us

This love

building on each other

Slipped right under that wire
That trip wire that was supposed to warn me
Warning me to watch out for myself
For myself I keep going no matter what
No matter what we keep our hearts open
Opening up to unknown territory as we live
We live to see a new day dawn on the horizon
The horizon carries hope along the ridge
The ridge of the mountaintops is where life begins
Beginning with you and me as we climb
Climbing beyond the limits—testing things
To test our ability to love
We love each other
One another caring endlessly.
