The Spider

I saw a spider on the wall,
with a shriveled up body
dangling off the ceiling...
After a few moment of observance,
the little body starts moving again,
struggling, struggling to climb back up.

I watched it do this
over and over again,
and I thought to myself,
for something so small,
something so insignificant,
its determination,
its will to live,
why it's greater than a lot of us
on this Earth.

Forgotten Memories

I found a folder of your letters,
your letters for me.

Our summer love letters,
filled with happiness, passion and glee.

And as I read, the more I felt
And as I read, I felt a smile

We had such a good run
Though now we're apart, miles and miles

And the more I read,
the more I could feel the tears

I really did love you
So very much dear

I often think of you
And wondered if you thought of me too

And if we could turn back time
Could we make the sky stay bright blue?

I'm sorry for the pain I've caused
And thought it was silly of me

But it's all in the past now,
Guess we weren't meant to be...

Love from a Distance

Show me the secret
Give me the manual
Tell me the directions
Teach me the ways
To elicit a smile on your face
To get your attention
To make you notice me.

Once Upon a Wish

In my dreams,
I saw your reflection in the fountain
As I swirled the water with my finger
The stars are shining upon us tonight
The night air carried a sweet perfume
We are caught up in its torrid current

You held my hand
As we walked...
We came upon a wishing well
You reached inside your pocket
And retrieved an ordinary coin

I took it
And turned it into an extraordinary wish
Closing my eyes, I heard a plop

And woke up.
