The Fall to Come by Russell Grandberry

The Fall to Come by Russell Grandberry

We're cascading like a watrfall we never seem to touch the ground
only to fall upon ourselves on the way down
By the time you find the start the end is near
Only crairty's in the moment, the ends are never clear
We stick around hoping we can climb our way out of the comotion
Ever hopeful yet still headed towards the ocean
Other fish, in other seas, in other lands
My only hope.... is Heaven's hand's
On heaven's beaches, on Heaven's sands
My only fear is that if I stop loving, Ill never love again... lll never live again
Its like the favorite quote from your favorite poet that you'll never hear again
The caged bird will never sing as lound and ill never lend a deaf ear again
But if like a mullagan i could take it back I never would
Because when its done again, its never done as good
First time's the charm, never the second or third
If you love it, never let it go, Forget what you heard
There's power in the moment , The esscence of what's now
The raindrops' are never afraid to fall from the clouds
While they must know the fate that awaits them
They make joy of the fall to come....it elates them.

Happiness's Game

Seems like loosing you makes me focus on the good and forget the bad
Was it the sweetest love i've ever known, or just the most rescent had
Were you the sun that gave me energy, or just another hidden enemy
Seems Friends and Foes are one in the same,
just like hope and blame, Just like Sun and Rain, Just Like Joy and Pain.
For Love is now Hate, not towards you, but... too me
As if the piercing sword that made me feel invincible... that was love
had been stabbed into my side.... and that was love.
To be Happy..... I must be Sad, To Succeed I must Fail.
To Rise I must Fall.... for in that plunge, nothing even matters at all.
But what remains is the escence of ME,
Deep as the sky, for the sea is shallow compared to ME
I am the wind in the trees
As bright as the light between the leaves
As we lay in the breeze.... That is ME
And in this moment... Just this Moment... This is Us
You the Trees and I the Wind Blowing past each other again and again
But in that moment, at that moment, There is an Us
Whether it was never again and never before, there was and must have been an Us
If only for a moment, I'd conqured every opponent and at THAT moment
Id taste victory..... how sweet, The juiciest watermelon you ever did eat
The chicken granny used to make, The jokes your father used to tell,
Homemade ice cream, The trips your family used to take....
The taste, the smell, the essence ...........of victory.
It was in you but it came from within Me
So in ME again I shall see Victory....
If only for a moment, and in that moment, Just that moment...
A moment that may never again be after and never before have been
It was and must be.... Us......not You and Me...... but Us

Love Letter to My Future Queen (Ribbon In The Sky)

You don't complete me, but you do make better
If the sun would shine that long, Id hold you forever
Like the stores in the mall, let's be open together
Don't know our Destination but im hoping for hevean
Your Hair in the breeze, Just as free as could be
Took a rib and stole my heart, you were created for me
Like The Trojan's for their Helen, Id sail across the sea
If that meant Id get to you and that you'd never leave
Follow me into enternity, promise we'll make it through
We'll float up into the sky and then ask it why it's blue
Then swing back to the sun and ill ask about the moon
But the dreams are only possible if I get to you
The love will never leave, and neither will the pasion
For you I'd live forever like..... Tuck Everlasting
No need for us to make up, you'll never have to mask it
Im a King, where is im Queen, I shouldn't have to ask it....

Frivilous Envies by Russell Grandberry

I dont wanna live my life like this
envious of the sun because he can rise everyday
Or does it take a struglle for the sun to get up too
On the outside, All we see is that smile that he gives
But inside, He's burning and it hurts, hotter than he's ever felt
Being so far away from everything else
Helping everyone else out but having no help
Helping out Mars, Jupiter and Venus
but to the whole Earth, what is he Worth
Everything and yet forsaken like nothing
The Moon takes his job at night, but is only a shadow of who he is
The other stars wish they could be as great, but they don't come close
So Far but so Near, It gets cold every year
When will the Earth Learn, The Sun goes away, so that maybe he'll feel apreciated
He gave you so much... So much off him... It might have burned once or twice
but what is joy witout pain, they ...in essence... are the same
He loved you... He did, but You loved the Night,
the moon just so happened to be there
I remeber the nights....The summer Air,
If only for that summer and the summer before
.... and no summer more

Before I never had a watch, or a clock that worked

So when they said I had time, I never knew the worth

If you wanna relish in the pleasure, you gotta go through the hurt

Im on to my next meal, you aint got through desert

And they say all great things take time …and

 to stay on the rail it’ll take a grind…and

 to stay on the top it's hard like diamonds…and

 if you every sleep it’ll take your mind…and

that’s fine, cuz im awake and I wanna grow

I have to take time to get to the places that I wanna go

I got skates so I guess that means im down to roll                                           

And I only get high, so Im not content with the low

SO please don’t focus on my looks before judging me

Because when you come, ill b sittin’ where the judge’ll be

And when you come to the stand and start nudging me

I’ll tell you like my mama said, son nothings free

I thought of you today

I thought of you today.
I smelled something in the air
Which reminded me of your hair
Which reminded me of your touch
Which reminded me of your body
Which reminded me of your mind
Which reminded me of your Heart
Which reminded me of mine
Because i could never think of them apart
