Center (The Art of Patience)
Find your center Hard to do Sit in silence See it through Grow impatient Breathing deep A silent mind Is hard to keep Learning patience Tremendous task But still you try That’s all you ask ©The Beginning At Last

Silky Veil of Moonlight
Under moonlight’s silky veil A walk along the lake On a perfect trodden trail The beams are making magic On the water, dancing light I perfect, peaceful moment On a perfect, peaceful night ©The Beginning At Last

A call to battle Call to arms A call to war A call to fight A call to win To show your might A call to drive Forward still A call to push And take the hill Sweet victory It calls your name Will you heed the call? Or stay the same? Your call to…

Dark Reflection (Musings From Another Plane)
You confound me You confuse me With your Wicked, wicked games You speak to me Of places You speak to me Of names You speak of Dark horizons Far beyond My vision’s reach You speak to me Of lessons Lessons Others dare not teach I do not understand you I question If I ever will…

The Choice
An undertaken journey It’s a road you take alone A road to places foreign You’re so far away from home What awaits, you often wonder You must find it on your own Is it paradise or evil? Or perhaps a bit of each? You can hear the answer calling Lying just beyond your reach Will…

Realities In Motion
Reality Space and time I see the joys I see the crimes I see it all Pass ‘fore my eyes I hear the laughter Hear the cries I see the moments Most forget I see the things Not happened yet I’ve seen the wars The victories I’ve seen the slaves I’ve seen the free I’ve…

Kingdom of Gold

Fire & Flame (The Forge of Life)
Through fire and flame This forge of life Within your back The sharpest knife Between the blades A searing pain A dagger gleaming Others gain Molten, burned A tempered steel A searing drive Is all you feel Through steam and smoke You rise again Warhammer blunt And forged to win You’ve been reshaped A form…

It Isn’t Over (A Farewell To Bright Days)
Gone are the days of feeling so free Gone are the days of humor and glee All that’s left now is a broken down shell Trapped in aged body, a personal Hell Sit in the dark, remember the past End is beginning, beginning at last “Older and wiser” is merely a lie Bright days are…

Into The Night (The Realization Of Giving Up)
Giving up Too old to care The more you strive The less you’re there Looking back On better days Looking back See through the haze A younger man You used to be A spirit wild So bold and free Nothing ever Stopped you then Then it changed You don’t know when It seems you’ve felt…

When You Wish (Someday)
A comet or a shooting star? I see you flying from afar I soar amongst the galaxy Within my mind, I’m finally free No longer earthbound, look at me Someday I’ll be there, floating high Someday I’ll meet you in the sky ©The Beginning At Last For every little kid who’s had a dream in…

Happenstance: #SoCS 08.24.24
Happenstance brought them together Happiness kept them that way Happens at strangest of times Happens in strangest of ways Happened so quick and so sudden Happened in blink of an eye Happy together forever Happy ‘neath bluest of skies Happy the first time he kissed her Happy to hold tight her hand Happy that she…

Fandango’s FOWC: “Outside”
Outside Perceptions Outside the realm of being Far outside the realm of mind Outside our world so real Beings of a different kind Outside of our perception Outside your trains of thought For eons they have wandered Only knowledge have they sought Outside the cosmic balance Outside of time and space A world you can’t…

Blocked (The Ballad Of Fried Rice, Chads & Heartache)
I waited at the Chinese takeout You said we’d meet at nine I said I’d place our order And you told me that was fine Lobster rice, the fancy kind For you I bought the best But now I’m here and waiting A sinking feeling in my chest The owner was a dick And he…

(Rain)dancing The Night Away
Dancing in the rain Dance away the summer night Looking fine and pretty Raindrops shimmer under light In the background Eddie’s playing David’s singing just to you You can hear the drums start beating And the bass is pumping too Will you look my way? Or on my way should I just go? Because dancing…

Little Dreamer (Wandering The Veil)
I see you wander, Little Dreamer Through the landscape of your mind I see you wander through the veil So unsure of what you’ll find A path so cloaked and misty Does it hide an open door? And I see you’re back this evening Just what are you looking for? Are you scared that you…

One More Day
A walk through valley Shadows dark Another life Which missed the mark In desolation All alone A crushing pain Straight to the bone An outcast true A nomad’s life The loneliness Cuts like the knife But in the distance Shining light A burning beacon Dead of night All an illusion? Or hope at last? You…

Welcome To Tomorrow
Welcome to tomorrow August 2099 Everything is perfect Everything’s completely fine The androids run the system Everything runs right on time When you’re riding through the city You will notice there’s no crime Everything’s so neat and clean Not a second do we waste Everything it looks so sterile Styled in robotic taste You may…

Thousand Yard Stare
Thousand yard stare Just a casualty of war Can anybody tell me What the hell we’re fighting for? Politicians dirty games Money, power, greed A war we never asked for Another war we didn’t need A boy arrived on Tuesday He was in a firefight He was crying for his mother As he died on…
