Thinking

Number14 1972 (California)



When it comes down to that time of day.
I often stop and think to myself, when will i be able to step out.
So many opportunities.
So many maybes and ill see.
I pass the days and nights at times thinking of a better way and quality of life.
Where  i am at now
Where i  was way back when
Then the day came when the sun started to shine.
Little hellos and a wave here and there.
There are days when i just stare into space, drift away and in my in minds eye i see that face.
That puts me in a peaceful place.
And a smile on my face.
That butterfly feeling  such a wonderful feeling
Then here comes reality.
Remembering what is reality.
Then i fall.back again.
The day will come and it maybe too late, deep inside i know where my love and destiny resides.
