Midnight Moonlight

It would be dark but for the moonlight
I walk a lonely road with it's pale glow lighting my way
There is a dog barking in the distance
The trees casting earthereal shadows across my path
I can hear the stones crunch under my feet
A cool breeze causing my long hair to dance around my face
Thoughts of a life full of experiences
Good ones and bad
Running through my head
There are still times when I wonder
Would I really have changed things if I could
I don't think so
All the things I've known and done in my life
Are what make me what I am today
Not rich, not famous
But I am a person that knows who I am
And right now I'm thinking
These midnight moonlight walks
Always do me a lot of good

A Toast

Here is a toast
To those who would shape others into thier own image
Who believe they are the only right things in the universe
Who would have every other person
Become the exact same
Who think everyone should look, act & think the same way:

Standing in the fire
Watching as the wind fans the flames
All this light and still I cannot see you
I know you are there
Waiting just outside the burning heat
For me to step out into your cold gaze

I am here and here I stay
This is my place in the scheme of things
My heat will melt your icy stare
You will feel the pangs of love and compassion
You will know it is the way it must be
There will be empathy in your heart

For those you have frozen
For those you have forgotten
Those you wish would be more like you
They cannot be like you
Can only be what and who they are
And have always been
