Getting lost with a knife and some woodOut for a while what seems a short timeturns into hoursGoes by so fast don't realize the time spentWhat enjoyable way to waste the dayKnives axes some woodSlice here split there time to see What I find Break away bit by bit Slowly emerges a bowl or spoon Maybe something else Chisel away a bit more today Hmmm let's see what this piece holds todayTime to go out waste a few minutes mayb...

No headphones no musicJust sounds of the bike sounds of the roadCars whizzin by Birds sing wandering the skyLost in thought lost to the soundsHum of the tires rollin down the roadNo tunes blaring in my earsQuiet thoughts rolling down the road Hum of the rubber click of the gearsChain she sings on the rings Roll down the roadCar whizzes by The sounds the music of the roadNo headphones no tunes in my earsJust sounds of the...

Alone in the woods?Perhaps Sitting here sipping on my brew Alone in the woodsSo I think Eyes wander roundAm I really alone here in my woods? The eyes deceive me as I sit here Quiet, listen SNAP Not alone as I may think Close my eyesListen Song of the woods Frogs humming off in the distance Leaves rustle in the wind Sitting on my rock sipping my brew Close my eyes Listen The song of the woods Alone in the woods? Perhaps Cl...

Getting lost in my musicForgetting the world around me Letting the volumeOvertake my thoughtsDreams of places and faces of long agoClose my eyes just drifting awayDreams of places I have not beenSounds the beats over take meTime to get lost forget about life for a whileThumping rock or something softerDoesn't matter just need An escape for a while Turn it up loud Drown the real world out Lost in the tunes Lost in my thoug...

Just colored lines onPaper to some To me dreams yet to be born Lines on the map Journeys ahead Just colored lines Maybe so to me they are dreams Just wandering the road Which lines to take no idea maybe west maybe south Time to just go Follow these colored Lines Just colored lines To some To me it is a dream Let's see where they Go These colored lines Dreams of a journey someday For now just a thought in my head Colored l...

I rode alone yet I was not aloneRiding with ghostsChildhood memories wanderingThe park, though todayNot memories of my past butOnes of a long ago warI think I am walking alone yet I am notFollowed by ghostsFrom a long ago pastStopping to listen to the smallForest feel the breezeI hear voices and commotion in the treesOpen my eyes no one aroundYet still hearing voicesAll aroundThis park is of a Hallowed groundOne of many t...

Sitting here I close my eyesWindow open Listen All I hear from the darkness Soft sounds of chimes ringing in the breeze Ah the sounds of the night Eyes closed Mind open Listening Wondering Soft gentle sounds Carried to me Sitting here eyes closed mind open Listen Window open Ah the sounds of the night What do I hear? Close my eyes Just listen Many things come to me Mind just wanders to the sounds in the night Listen

Eh doesn't really matter what's on my mindJust sitting here sorta lostIn my thoughtsMind is wandering no place to go Just sitting here watching the world go by Window open warm breezes flowJust a nice day to be sitting lost in my thoughtsRadio on soft noise fills the air Kinda just sitting here lost Yet wandering with no place to goMind is off dreaming of some distant place yeah I'm ok just lost in my thoughts

Broken road wanderedIn my youth Rode past the other day Was tempted to wander again For old times sake Yet I kept on riding past Been past the old broken road many times before Why now do I want to wander again? What keeps me from gong down the old lane From my youth Who knows Maybe one day I'll ride or just take a slow stroll Down the old broken road Not sure what holds me back Some old ghosts hiding out down there? Who...
