You Were There
You were there
With yellow flowers in your hair
And the summer air seemed to get us high
The county fair

Jack O’Lantern
(boudreau10/12/16)

There’s a higher spirit

And the heart will chase it
Egos embrace it
You can’t erase it from your life
And when ya can’t escape the rain clouds…

Running to the summit, a smile every mile
Keep on gunning for it, and you'll get there in a while

Staring down the crown, (locked) tight…

Do you fear it in the back of your mind
I can't shake it I feel it's shaking me
I try and break it right across…

Shadows Of Doubt
boudreau
It seems as I get older
I find less and less there is to say
I just shrug my shoulders
Politely walk away
I tend to pull in from the edges
Try and tuck it all inside
refuse to do battle
Even when i know that…
