Never: Lessons Along The Way.

Never stop loving anyone.
Never stop believing in anyone.
Never defend a lie.
Lastly,
there are exceptions to every "Never."

live for peace,
theresa :)






With a stone cold face she left the room
Thought about home and sleeping ‘til noon
Grabbed the paper and her coffee cup
Walked to her car parked by the garbage truck

She got in her car, drove ten miles or so
Thought about home and letting things go
Rubbed her head ‘cause you know a head aches
When the wheels keep turning after you hit the breaks

She thought about little boys and girls
Living in ghetto’s and tripping on pills
She could free her guilt if she was willing
To be seen through eyes as the villain

It’s a cold, cold day
But I’m not cold enough to leave you this way
It’s a cold, cold day
The blackbirds are flying, the winter is here
Most days I think it’s been a pretty good year
But on this cold, cold day
I’m not cold enough to leave you this way
No I’m not cold enough today
But, I might be … come May

With a stone cold face she put the car in reverse
Thought about home and a spiritual nurse
Glanced at her paper and her coffee cup
Drove back to that broken down garbage truck

She got outta her car, walked ten steps or so
Looked at Maria in her soil-soaked clothes
Rubbed her head ’cause you know a head aches
When a fire is burning to take what it takes

She thought about little boys and girls
Living in ghetto’s and tripping on pills
She could free her guilt if she was willing
To be seen through eyes as the villain

It’s a cold, cold day
But I’m not cold enough to leave you this way
It’s a cold, cold day
The blackbirds are flying, the winter is here
Most days I think it’s been a pretty good year
But on this cold, cold day
I’m not cold enough to leave you this way
No I’m not cold enough today
But, I might be …. come May

Just when she thought Maria wouldn’t speak
Maria smiled and said, in a voice soft and weak
“I’ll give you a bible if you give me a dream,
One of my family and my horse, Melody.”

“I’ve got applesauce in a McDonald’s cup,”
“Mary told me it would bring good-luck,
It’s been three days since I’ve had a nap
I’m going to sleep; I won‘t be back”

With a stone cold face, Maria drifted to sleep
Grabbed a dream and one taste of freedom
She left her bible ’cause it gave her a dream
If we live long enough, maybe we'll read it

Four girls walked to the garbage truck
Three looked down; one spoke up
“You can’t wake-up Maria
She’s won’t be giving away bibles
She’s won’t be tripping on pills
You can’t wake-up Maria
If her eyes open on the dark side of hell
Only God can tell her what she’s done

Poets, artists and mystics
Seize moments in between lines
Of each lifetime to the next
Rediscovering and healing
In a way only imagination can express

Far ahead and in our future
We travel to and fro
We paint a path before us
In order to let go
For guilt that trips us nowhere
Is worth less than we could know

We can ponder the meaning of life
Look for character in clouds
Winding rivers and twisted lands
Any image revealed is meaningless
If we let it kick us
And refuse to kick back
Without treasuring its mortal wisdom

There's a darkend alley and an endless shore
There's a someone singing folklore, someone praying in a music store
Theres lines on the corner, there's less than perfect sleep
There are victims of survival, inventions of disease
Causes and cures, sufferage and greed
Angels and epiphanies, we're all Someone In Need

Don't you weep
In daylight or dawn
Walk on, move forward
Think ahead, think again
Don't you weep
Your loss is your love
Hold tight to it and then
Lay it down, lay it down
Walk on to move forward again

Everything and everyone that surrounds us
Will be discovered and revealed
One day we'll all be dreamers
One day there will be healing for all
For All is who we are on the inside
Inside, resurfacing and beckoning a call

A call of arms, of love, of peace
Withered or tattered, whole piece by piece
Ultimately we are One in need of love
The blood on our hands is the blood running free
Free to run somewhere, perhaps to the very same need.

We share the very same need
Don't weep, don't weep
At least, not tonight
Your loss is your love
Hold tight to it and then
Lay it down, lay it down
Walk on to move forward again

Far ahead and in our future
We travel to and fro
We paint a path before us
In order to let go
For guilt that trips us nowhere
Is worth less than we could know
