Notes to the Family..

~Dear Papa,

The water is so red,

and the sky has a hole.

The most expensive items are free,

and our birth-right isn't anymore.

~Dear Mama,

The older I get,

the less tolerant I become.

Life is as beautiful as you described.

Love still hurts and friendships still save.

~Dear Sister,

Everything has a price, unfortunately.

What may seem, need not necessarily be.

Our life is our own, the world is ours to change.

For better or worse, excuses are extinct.

~Dear Gypsies,

Distance and Time have never mattered.

The hills have come and the valleys have gone,

What binds us together also releases us.

Let's never forget what has kept us alive thus.

~Dear Rainbow,

We've served our sentence from the trial.

Things will never be the same.

But, it can get better.

Every tear, laugh, wrinkle adds a line to our story.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm coming home. I'm coming home.

Tell the World I'm coming home

Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday.

I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes

I'm coming home. I'm coming home.

Tell the World that I'm coming home.

-- S. Combs, S. Carter, J. Cole, A. Grant & H. Hafferman

Forever.

This. This is me, there is no other.
This. This is me, dreaming my dreams like no other.
This. This is me, the rain king.
This. This is me, a world to offer but the garden isn't.

Tell me a secret and I will sing you a song.
Sing me a song and I will color you the ink of my life.
Color me a life and I will drop you a line.
Drop me a line and we will be together..

This. This is me, and my crown of scars.
This. This is me, a broom, a wand and the promise of forever.
This. This is me, and a seed of rebirth.
This. This is me, and the trees of life and knowledge.

You, may have it all..
You, could have it all..
You should have it all.

By the corner, biting your lips;
unsure, uncertain.
By the corner, fiddling your hands;
beckoning, enticing.

Control is not our birthright.
Behold, the sea of gratitude.!
Nor, is the fight ours.
Behold, the road to awe.!

Lustful.
Conquered.
Humbled.
Alive.

My Queen. My Kingdom.
Now and forever.
We shall...

This. This is me, a great ball of fire.
This. This is me, a fountain of calm.
This. This is me, a glacier of emotion.
This. This is me, and my empire of dirt.

The never-ending search to be "Forever" is more often than not found in the most unlikely of places, areas which one would not necessarily look into and rather overlook. Infact, the notion of 'Forever' itself is usually lost upon us.

A train-ride, strangers, 96 minutes, An eternity, A fountain, A story, Lives, "Forever" - I owe this to them all.
