I hope you found your path with heart!

OPEN ROADS
~~~~~~~~~~~~ >
whatever happened to that
man of tin
once he finally got his heart
tell me my friend
is that where the story ends
or is it just the start
if every new day holds an open road
and every moment all's made new
if the treasure's found
in the journey, not the end
would that change your point
of view?
as we all travel down
our golden roads seeking castles
in the sky
don't be surprised when you
shed your load
to find you've circled round
and round, bye and bye
so what became of that
thin man of straw
once he finally got his brain
did quantom physics still hold
such awe
or did he find it just a pain
to spend his days immersed
in puzzlements
longing for more simpler times
without thought for laws
and governments
disturbing calm and peace of mind
the so called wise
sometimes too blind to see
the truth so clearly shone
fore our own eyes
a simple smile
or graceful touch can be
the key to set your Spirit
soaring free
and what became of that
sweet little girl
who rode the twister
round the world
when she got home
could she leave well enough alone
or did she find the urge to roam
so compelling that she had to
spin her wheels
aware the magic in her shoes
could fell with 3 clicks
of those ruby heels
all known forms of homesick blues
if home is where your heart is
where do you live
right here and now
look within, you'll find
no place exists
without the Light
of love & peace & tao
what became of that
mighty lion
once he finally got the nerve
did the big cat growl
and go out on the prowl
or did he just kick back & purr
rolling up in one big ball of fluff
stretching his belly
cross the floor
content knowing in his gentleness
true strength takes love
and not much more
as courage dwells
in the quiet patience of
the strength of those
who stand and wait
for all in the end
to be redeemed with love
as tides will rise
to greet
their gallant fate
whatever happened to that
man of tin
once he finally got his heart
well my friend
that's not where the story ends
in fact it's just the start
as every new day holds an open road
and every moment all's made new
and the treasure's found
within the journey til the end
does that change
your point of view?
as we're all travelers on
our golden roads
chasing castles in the sky
don't be surprised
when your tale is told
to find you've circled round
and round, bye and bye
on the open roads

School
heh heh heh
just say "wo",
dude
;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fly baby fly
test your wings
in the morning light
if at first you fail
don't worry child,
it'll be all...Expand for more
right
for you will surely learn in time
to break the chains of this world
and to escape
the traps laid upon your way
just laugh, baby, laugh
at the silly claims they stake
for you can fly
and baby always feel
your own heartbeat
it's such a beautiful song
your only road to freedom
when the world turns wrong
~ ~
^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
keep the child in YOU alive
until your dying day
and as you grow old and wise
you will always know the way
the way to FLY
baby fly away
straight into the sunrise
of a happier day
pass the dark clouds by
no more rain today

College
Pollyanna Hart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >
I was takin a walk on some tropical sand
when I saw that little mermaid swimmin out from the land
Was the sweetest little angel ever laid my eyes on
and I had to go and meet her for the moment was gone
So i asked what was her name
She said it don't really matter, all the same
it's Pollyanna Hart
'n I said "hey Pollyanna,
baby can't you see~
ain't nobody better for you than me
I got two strong arms and a heart so true
full a nothin but burnin' love for you
I been all the way from Indiana, in a round about way through Louisiana
from Timbuktu up to Kalamazoo there ain't nothin' I wouldn't do
for a girl like you!"
A few days later at the burger stand,
from the corner of my eye saw sweet Pollyann,
she was lookin like a goddess in an evening gown
with the silver moon lightin up those eyes of brown
I asked her how do you do?
She said, not much boy, how bout you?
I was stallin so I asked for her name
She said it don't really matter,
just the same,
it's Pollyanna Hart
so I said "hey Pollyanna,
baby can't you see~
ain't nobody better for you than me
I got two strong arms and a heart so true
full a nothin but burnin' love for you
I been all the way from Turtle Bay, in a round about way through Kapolei
from Makaha to Makapuu, and there's nothin' I wouldn't do
for a girl like you!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So a few years later, here I still am,
swimmin with the mermaids and lazin in the sand
in the land of milk and honey,
just off Makapuu
I lost all track of time
and don't care much for shoes
Nothin has been quite the same
since I asked that little girl for her name
and life is like a dream coming true
and there's nothin' that I'd rather do
then be with Pollyanna Hart
and say "hey hey Pollyanna,
baby can't you see~
ain't nobody better for you than me
I got two strong arms and a heart so true
full a nothin but burnin' love for you
I been all the way from Hanalei, in a round about way through Kailua bay,
from Waianae to Punaluu, and there's nothin' I wouldn't do
for a girl like you!"
