light

teeter-totter

/ skramblingeezer 

    as children we called it a teeter-totter moon
sliver of light held there between us and stars
something we could not comprehend in those years
years filled with amazement shrouded with innocence
innocence that slowly faded along with childhood
childhood memories that were pushed away by war
war that took our youth and turned it into horror
horror that still follows into my advancing years
years that move steadily toward their destined end
end as I still recall that teeter-totter moon

    SIGHT

    if I should ever lose my sight
    one thing I should not have to study
    I think I would remember light

    having embraced you in a field of white
    I will recall its folds around your body
    if I should ever lose my sight

    how to forget this frantic flight
    should I ever learn to hold steady
    I think I would remember light

    as you refining day from night
    with that promise held ready
    if I should ever lose my sight

    I might be given one dark night
    a subtle glow from thoughts so pretty
    I think I would remember light

    yet small gods continue their spite
    larger ones share a heartfelt pity
    if I should ever lose my sight
    I will always remember you as light

    In the early morning rain
    Ghost Riders in the Sky
    Men with Broken Hearts
    Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay
    I still miss someone

    Raindrops keep falling on my head
    Ain’t Nobody Loves Me
    You were always on my Mind
    Wishing you were somehow here again
    Take these chains from my heart

    There’s a fire deep in the Hill
    Where the Mountain begins
    Somewhere out there
    It happened once before
    Who knows where the time goes

    Lord I hope this day is good
    Funny how time slips away
    I’m in a different world
    On this side of goodbye
    I have a dream
    We’ll be together again

    When a Man Loves a Woman
    She thinks I still care
    I can’t help myself
    My Heart Will Go On
    It’s all in the game
    You keep running away

    If you could read my mind
    Oh what a circus
    The way we were
    out of control
    When the lights went out in Georgia

    You’ve lost that loving feeling
    Heard it through the grapevine
    It’s the same old song
    Standing in the shadows of love
    Looking over my shoulder
    If Hollywood don’t need you

    Where have all the flowers gone?
    Listen to the radio
    for the good times
    Try to remember
    Today I started loving you again
    I will always love you

    Looking out my back door
    All I have to do is dream
    She believes in me
    The great pretender
    Leaving on a jet plane
    Turn! Turn! Turn!

    Walls we are not forgotten
    Send in the clowns
    Anything but lonely
    Mansion on a hill
    From a distance
    Everything is beautiful
    What a wonderful world

    Lay down beside me
    There’ll be no teardrops tonight
    Still
    Both sides now
    Another suitcase in another hall
    The point of no return
    The dark end of the street

    A horse with no name
    On the Road Again
    Before the Next Teardrop Falls
    Searching for love
    Behind Closed Doors
    for the good times

    Sundown
    Snakes crawl at night
    Bad moon rising
    Run through the jungle
    Don’t be angry with me
    House of the Rising Sun

    If you don’t want my love
    You might find I’m gone
    Thank you for the music
    These boots are made for walking
    That’s the way love goes

    Women Make a Fool of Me
    Any dream will do
    Long as I can see the light
    Please release me
    The Last Farewell
    Who’ll stop the rain?
