The following are not songs but poems that I have written. However I have heard it said that poems are merely songs without music.

The Traveler

I know not where I'm going
Only where I have been
Miles and miles of highway
That I'll n'ver travel again
I know not where this road leads
Or even where it ends
I know not where I'm going
Only where I have been

A Beach Known as Grief

Often times on the journey of life
We have to pause on a lonely beach
That is known to us only as Grief
And stare across an ocean called Death
Which stretches on to something we can't reach
At the end of a loved one's life so brief

To see them carried beyond the horizon
To a place that the living cannot see
For this forlorn place bears another name
It is The Edge to those who stand upon it
The place where they are finally set free
From the shackles of this world's fear and pain

What will you do as you stand there on the sand
Concentrating on where they disappeared from sight?
Will you stand forever on that lonely shore?
Or will you plung into the waves after them
Braving the wrath of the sea's wind and might
Chasing the one you cannot hold any more?

Or will you stand there upon the beach's sand
And watch the twilight birth of a bright new star?
Turn away with a smile to pick up life's fight?
For you are here and their long journey is done
Now a whisper from beyond the horizon far
"It's time to move on, my friend. I'll be alright."

Far Side of the Sunset

Bittersweet good-byes
Are always the most bitter
When I see it in your eyes
How much you hate to leave me
But they are also the most sweet
Because I suddenly see
How much you treasure that, in this lifetime, we could meet
And yet how much you long to go
I grip your hand with a tight embrace
Trying to lend you a little of my strength although
I can feel the tears streaking down my face
And I realize just how weak I am still
A melancholy feeling wraps itself around this moment in time
And though I hold you, I can feel you slipping from me still
I lean close to your ear and you whisper into mine
"I'll bee there, on the far side of the sunset."
Suddenly I look up and you are gone
And I find myself adrift on an ocean of memories I'll never forget
But I know we will meet again before long
And I breathe across that lonely frontier
"I'll be waiting on this side of dreams."

Good luck to you all and I mean it when I say

God bless,
Rebecca
