Migrations

1. Blue Daze
Sort of like being in a haze
In so very many ways
Trying to live out the days
No one here hardly plays
Seems to be a definite craze
Always having to ride the waves
Sometimes stumbling like in a daze
Some may want to think it is a faze
But that reasoning really is not so
Because one thing I surely know
Whether my actions are fast or slow
For some reason, I can`t let go
Even when it tears me apart
Causes me to break other hearts
Right from the very start
This will continue until I depart
Having bipolar can be like hell
Many know this fact very well
Too many stories hard to tell
In blue daze where we dwell
2. One Migration
Not only does the body
Migrate back to the soil
Leaving traces of passage
During days of toil
The core of the creation
Called the spirit or soul
Trades a crown of silver
For a crown of gold
Speaking out to the youth
In warnings and praise
To bask carefully in the sunshine
While in their youthful days
Just as a watch or clock
Keeps ticking away time
The clay keeps changing
Along with the mind
Until the migration is complete
With no more days of toil
And the body is finally released
Back to enrich the living soil
Not only does the body
Migrate back to the soil
Leaving traces of passage
During days of toil
The core of the creation
Called the spirit or soul
Trades a crown of silver
For a crown of gold
Speaking out to the youth
In warnings and praise
To bask carefully in the sunshine
While in their youthful days
Just as a watch or clock
Keeps ticking away time
The clay keeps changing
Along with the mind
Until the migration is complete
With no more days of toil
And the body is finally released
Back to enrich the living soil

Meeting in the warm sunshine
On a cold and rainy day
Suddenly feeling drawn
Without any words to say
What was this attraction
How did it come to unfold
Certainly not because
Either was very bold
Struggling just to live
Hoping to survive
Searching for a reason
To want to stay alive
Wondering if there ever
Was just one in this land
Having true vision and ears
With an ability to understand
How the sun can truly warm
On a cold and rainy day
Bringing comfort to others
Listening to what each had to say
On a cold and rainy day
Suddenly feeling drawn
Without any words to say
What was this attraction
How did it come to unfold
Certainly not because
Either was very bold
Struggling just to live
Hoping to survive
Searching for a reason
To want to stay alive
Wondering if there ever
Was just one in this land
Having true vision and ears
With an ability to understand
How the sun can truly warm
On a cold and rainy day
Bringing comfort to others
Listening to what each had to say
