| There's a river run where I go to have my fun In its waves I see your face I don't wanna leave this place So river take me there River, take me where The river runs to shore I wanna see my baby more River, run to shore Let me see my baby more It hurts to think I might lose in the thickness of the love in you But it's here where I feel safe I don't wanna leave this place / Chorus And there's nothing you can say that will make me change my ways There's nothing you can find that will make me change my mind / Chorus So river, run to shore I wanna see you a little more |

| When the wind blows just right you can hear the earth cry and you feel her shiver in the night As her rivers flow away she sings her lullaby the flowers are her laughter on display So dance on moonbeams when you dream and follow the sunbands home to me While you're floating through space remember to sing and let the stardust glitter your face When the light begins to wane meet me by the stream and we'll live to together between the clouds the lightning and the rain / Chorus |

| Looking out my window waiting for the sun wishing for a miracle wondering what I've done There's no one to save me this time There's a hole in my heart and a darkness in my soul The moon's tears are falling and I'm so alone You took a part of me that no one else could know My heart, my love, my time you took my very soul There's no one to save me this time / Chorus |

| Who says love should be like this? Do we know what true love is? Do we understand the reasons in our hearts the reasons we have to part? As the flame settles on the wind the moon burns and the shadows are bent I am but half a heart and you are not my other part I can't help who I love and you can't stand to see me cry Let's smooth this jagged edge and not say goodbye But since we're both leaving we're even The rose you gave is burnt and dead The rain is drugged and the river runs red These shattered glass pieces cut my skin but you're hurting too so we're even / Chorus |

Just be still for awhile, let the air melt away let the sun pierce the sky, let the darkness fade There's a shadow in your mind, it's blurry and confused Let it go, let time break Let the sea cast its shadows, let the moon escape If the rain should fall or a star stop burning should the rose dissolve and the tides quit turning I will love you still it's unconditional I'd love you if there were no world at all I know you're wounded so am I Jaded and jagged and left behind It's alright if things fall apart once in awhile but you wanted to and couldn't so you never will ever change There's a shadow in your mind, it's blurry and confused Let it go, let the earth quake Let the distance between us surround you, you're free let the smoky fire stray / Chorus Take this moment to reflect Remember how good we used to feel? I do Maybe it's all for the best, I guess One more sleepless night without you / Chorus Should the snow turn warm or heaven disappear Should the dawn crash into twilight's tears I'm gonna love you still, couldn't help loving you if there were no world at all |

| Who am I to make you cry when all you've know is happiness? Deep inside I felt the ties come undone when we said goodbye And I know it was wrong to let you walk away like I didn't care But it felt so strong I thought our love would always be everywhere Now I'm living my dreams and my life but who am I? How am I to survive without your love and tenderness? Can't we try one more time? Let me find a way to make this right / Chorus Tell me why the stars in your eyes fade away when you look at me Who am I in your life? All I know is I need you in mine / Chorus Now I'm losing the love of my life and who am I? |

I crave your love, I long for your warmth It's hard to survive without you I miss your touch, your smile, your voice You've made it hard to forget you I want to lay my head on your chest and listen to what your heart longs to say You stole the stars from heaven for me and place them in my hair You'd whisper and tell me sweet things like, "To your beauty, only twilight compares." I want you to lay me out in firelight so I can watch the flames play across your face If I were to lose myself under the stars could you find me again? If you were water, fire and wind would you find a way to be my ground and could you fill this space inside my skin? I want to lay you out in moonbeams and be in your arms as you fall asleep I crave your love It's hard to survive without you |

| Space is silence it moves with a sigh and drifts on and on It takes its time in its permanence like a love that has learned it will soon be gone But I, I stay just to wake to your face 'Cuz I love loving you wrong or right I just do Can't fight what makes you burn and vow for love in return Time, life's mortality it will never stop even if our hearts do We're bound eternally These words I say are true, I would surely die to live without you Oh I, I pray there's no way for love to fade / Chorus What must I do, do you feel the way I do? This love we share has nothing to fear A thousand swords hold no threat Like the sea blesses the sunset it's not just my hand you hold Within your soul I'm home / Chorus |

Softly falling snow on her window He won't be around this year, she checks her rearview mirror Reality has gone and the night is long she don't know where else to go So she'll drive on through the night looking for her light One to save her from her mind one to catch her fall when she cries One to love her like no other man one to lead her to Neverland She pulls off the road feeling overwhelmed and old She takes out his photograph and gives a little laugh Where's my soulmate when I need him? What's he doing now? With love and fate along she's looking for her song / Chorus She gets into his town and she finds out he's got a wife She turns the car around and she heads home tears in her eyes Now pink and purple skies will make her cry She keeps thinking 'bout the man she was supposed to have Not everything ends in happiness not every dream becomes If he knocks on her door, she'll let him in 'cuz she is his and he's her one / Chorus |

| Take me where the wind blows Let me breathe Show me how the river flows Help me believe Could I fall into your arms once more? A restless flames haunts the night somewhere outside my fear Silent and waiting to be soaked with stars and tears I feel like a petal on a rose leaning down to kiss the stem I'm lost in shades of indigo and sinking sound holding faith within Oh, I could fall into your arms once more / Chorus My heart longs for a rain that mend this empty cave My soul desires a release that will bend this dangerous rage So, could I fall into your arms once more? / Chorus |

Not one more word out of you could ever make me stay I thought about the good things but I can't escape the feeling of today There's a buzz in the air, electric words, tears in my eyes I'm full of love, but empty in your pride Look how far I've come without your discretion You really thought that I would remain in your oppression? You made me feel less than human I'm still alarmed by my confusion Now I leave you standing alone Your facade is a broken stone When you said I meant the world it was nothing but a lie I've had enough of all you do and it's time I said goodbye You'll always be that way but I have changed I feared letting go but in holding on I've lost the strength to grow / Chorus I don't really understand how I'm not starting over again but I know it's time for us to live the truth My heart beats more and more without you This is how we end I'd rather lose a friend than lose my soul if that means just letting go / Chorus |

I watch the sun come up, tears fill my eyes Heaven's gone, I cry He left me with misery, didn't let me say goodbye Now it's over, time to let go But it's all behind me now I can turn and walk away 'cuz I know that I am brave So just go I'll always remember you all the sweet things you did for me How you were my heaven for awhile / Chorus I'm learning that I don't need your arms, I don't need your time I don't need your smile, the sun still shines without your eyes So just go Just go If I let you go, can I let you go? I need to let you go, but I'm so scared It hurts to let you go Heaven's gone if I let you go Can I let you go? I'll let you go |

Floating on an ocean without sails That's how I'll feel when you're gone The winter wind has become my friend an empty voice to numb me once again That's how I'll feel when you're gone A contradiction of reason, I'm falling no parachute, no safety net, or place to bail to I didn't wanna love you this much, but I did Beautiful notes on a page but no player to take the stage You didn't wanna hurt me, but you did My heart breaks too easily take care of yours Though I don't know if I can shift these dreams I'm still in love with the moments, the sounds, the feelings and it's too soon to let go Sometimes I don't understand how we are the way we are nothing less, but never more than friends and don't friends fall in love? Breathing like this was never easy on either of us and I just want what you want So I guess this settles the tab No more favors have I to ask / Chorus Floating on an ocean without sails That's how I'll feel when you're gone |

This song started out meant for someone else. By the second verse, I was speaking to myself. When I finished the lyrics, I realized I could be talking to anyone. This is one of my favorites. |

The clock ticks off the hours the river flows fast The moon dances in a rainbow shower as I wonder how long the night will last The clouds catch fire and the wind sings to me the sweetest lullaby like the sea I'm a floating feather on the wind only looking back to where I have been I'm a floating feather on the stream drifting unruffled to the sea Pearls dot a pitch black robe the scent of pine haunts me the storm cracks in a lightning strobe as the rain washes over me The snowflakes waltz in the moonlight My wings unfold and meet the sky / Chorus I am a floating feather on the wind I cross the sandy shore Over mountains and through the caves there's nowhere I can't explore I am a floating feather on the stream I race with the morning dew Over rapids and whirlpools flowing ever closer to you / Chorus |

Earth turns to ash, water boils dry fire and acid fall from the sky The world's gone crazy and everywhere you turn shadows surround you screaming burn Then out of nowhere the wind blows you down it hits you so hard that you fall to the ground You cry out for help then scream it out loud but no one can hear, no one's even around If you can move mountains and sink the sun if you can calm the ocean, build a dream out of dirt and dust if you can roll back the clouds on an incoming breeze if you can bring me to my knees, save me please Somewhere outside this desolate planet there's a paradise if I could only reach it My mind's been fogged by this annihilation and now I realize this war was our creation It started years ago, but we didn't know where we were going So now we're here face to face with death and all we can hope for is one last breath / Chorus |

God made the ocean, He made the sea He made the mountains ring He wrote the words and gave them to me He wrote the songs that I sing When I die will you make me one of Your angels and give me wings? And will I get to see all of Heaven's glory? No matter what we go through, we always reach out to You You're the inspiration, the motivation, the reason why we live Creator, brightest star in the sky Creator, now I ask Thee why do I cry when I see the moon or feel the breeze or smell the rain? Heavenly rainbow sparkling through the rain glistening like fairy dust in my dreams If you could speak what would you say? Nothing's quite the way it seems Romeo, oh Romeo, where for art thou? I should be holding you in my arms So where are you now? Lord, send my love to me / Chorus |

New student in the class today but I didn't see your face Then I found out you passed away is he the one to take your place? It was my surprise I guess I didn't realize how much I cared and now you've disappeared No one can ever take your place they can't compete with the impression you made in our hearts it's so sad that we had to part It came as a shock to me somehow I just couldn't see the name of a friend put to the end I hope you're resting in peace now I hope you can hear these words ringing clear way up there in that place we call Heaven / Chorus But you're always in our hearts we'll never truly part 'cuz you're always in our hearts Josh |

| The love we've shared here tonight will live forever Goodbyes come with the wind I know it's hard to let us go but believe us when we say your love lights the way for us today What can we say to you but thanks for everything Goodbye is not farewell I know it's so hard to let us go but the smile upon your face tells us that we've earned our place Welcome to our world of hope and love Now it's our turn to stand hand in hand against the darkness of hate and make the world a better place to be Welcome to our world As we look back upon our memories they open up our eyes and together we stand here hand in hand like a wall that refuses to crumble / Chorus |

| I've been gone, been out of reach from a world full of grief I drowned in the tears, the laughter, the fear I tripped and fell over my own lines I have learned to swallow my pride and keep it hidden under firelight As I watched you walk away from your hiding place I saw the many tears that soaked your face Firelight, consume my soul Melt my flesh, purify my heart As we watched our lives go up in smoke our tears began to swallow us whole / Chorus |

| Time goes by so slow and I wonder why I don't know why you look at me that way in the rising sun everyday and I see so much of me when I hear your voice, when you start to sing I see your silhouette in the rising sun feel you everywhere when the twilight comes wanna be with you, you've got the kind of love I need in my life It's the little things that you say and the subtle way that you play with every part of my brain that turns me on and feeds the flame and I see so much of me in you when I hear your voice, when you start to sing / Chorus I can't overcome the longing, the aching, the wanting, the waiting / Chorus |

As my songwriting and guitar skills grew, this song started emerging in the chords while I was trying to play other songs by ear. It was a good shot for my first "rock" song. |

The clock ticks off the hours the river flows fast The moon dances in a rainbow shower as I wonder how long the night will last The clouds catch fire and the wind sings to me the sweetest lullaby like the sea I'm a floating feather on the wind only looking back to where I have been I'm a floating feather on the stream drifting unruffled to the sea Pearls dot a pitch black robe the scent of pine haunts me the storm cracks in a lightning strobe as the rain washes over me The snowflakes waltz in the moonlight My wings unfold and meet the sky / Chorus I am a floating feather on the wind I cross the sandy shore Over mountains and through the caves there's nowhere I can't explore I am a floating feather on the stream I race with the morning dew Over rapids and whirlpools flowing ever closer to you / Chorus |
|
I would always pass Floating Feather Road on the way to Boise. My late Aunt Shari loved and found peace in this song... It will forever be dedicated to her. |

I wrote this song about Armageddon. Shortly after the release of "Firelight" 9/11 occurred. |

My Mother had "Cannon In D" by Pachelbel playing when I was born. This song is based on "Cannon" only in a different key and time. The melody is quite different as well. |

I wrote this song for my graduating high school class. Two classmates, Mary and Rachel, heard it and agreed to record it with me. |

My family is Scotch-Irish and my Father loves Bing Crosby. He often sang this song to me on long road trips. So I chose to record my own rendition of this song for old time's sake. |

Everyone told me I should record and Elvis cover. So I did and this is my favorite. It is no longer available for purchase. I had help once again from Mary, Rachel, and Tina on this one. |

In 2002, I met an extremely talented musician, Chris McDowell. We set out to re-record a couple of songs and master some new ones. This was one of them. |

This song impressed the DJ I'm working with. There is hardly one of his karaoke shows where I don't perform it. This song earned me the title of "The Yodeler." |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |
|
One of my favorite Shania Twain songs. |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |
|
A beautiful classic ballad and by far one of my most requested songs. |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |
|
One of LeAnn's best in my opinion. I love singing this song. |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |
|
Another of LeAnn's best. And a show stopper at any venue. |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |
|
This song is beautifully written and LeAnn's delicately crafted yodel makes it a staple of any country show. |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |
|
One of my favorites from not only the "Coyote Ugly" soundtrack, but from one of the best songwriters ever, Diane Warren. |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |

If you listen closely to the beginning of Jewel's "Standing Still" you'll hear take and release a deep breath setting the tone of this emotional lyric. I only hope that as "The Jewel Of The Rockies" I did Jewel and this song some justice. |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |
|
I absolutely love performing this song. It's already well known to Prince fans and LeAnn Rimes's high sustained notes get the crowd going every time. It's become one of my most popular songs not only live, but on online as well. |
|
| Cowboy's Sweetheart | No One Needs To Know | Unchained Melody | Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine | Nothin' Better To Do | Blue | The Right Kind Of Wrong | Standing Still | Purple Rain | Chime Bells |
|
A great standby for encores and technical difficulties. Every time I sing this yodeling song I get one of two reactions: lots of clapping or absolute silence and then a reaction like at the end of this performance. Love it! |
|
| Foolish Games | The Rose | I Will Remember You | Wind Beneath My Wings | Hurt Me | You Were Meant For Me | All Cried Out |
|
This was the first Jewel song I had sung Karaoke style. Likewise this recording was the first I had ever sung this song without Jewel singing in the background. What you hear is the one and only take I attempted. The engineer, Jason Ringlesetter, and my Father thought that it sounded perfect and that was that. Looking back on it now... well, it wasn't half bad for the first song of the recording day and for not being used to singing that early in the morning. |
|
| Foolish Games | The Rose | I Will Remember You | Wind Beneath My Wings | Hurt Me | You Were Meant For Me | All Cried Out |
|
First off, Bette Middler and Whitney Houston were the first singers I looked up to. I had tested my untrained vocal skills at Great America when I recorded Whitney's version of "I Will Always Love You." But when it came to this project, I decided that "The Rose" by Bette would be much easier to master and this song held more meaning to me. |
|
| Foolish Games | The Rose | I Will Remember You | Wind Beneath My Wings | Hurt Me | You Were Meant For Me | All Cried Out |
|
One of my favorite Sarah McLachlan songs. Since I was making an album of Karaoke songs, I couldn't pass up the chance to record this one. |
|
| Foolish Games | The Rose | I Will Remember You | Wind Beneath My Wings | Hurt Me | You Were Meant For Me | All Cried Out |
|
This is the song that started it all, as my Mother would say. I was about 5 years old when I heard this song. If you've read my bio, then you know the whole story behind this song. Again, I couldn't resist recording this one. |
|
| Foolish Games | The Rose | I Will Remember You | Wind Beneath My Wings | Hurt Me | You Were Meant For Me | All Cried Out |
|
I have to hand it to LeAnn Rimes. She's got an amazing vocal range. "Hurt Me" was the only "easy" country song available in Karaoke that I knew well and felt comfortable with. And as I was still training my voice to hit those high notes, this song proved to be just the right combination of highs and lows. I know it seems strange, but I had fun singing this heart aching song. |
|
| Foolish Games | The Rose | I Will Remember You | Wind Beneath My Wings | Hurt Me | You Were Meant For Me | All Cried Out |
|
Okay, this was actually the last song I recorded for this album. It had been a long day with some great takes (earning me the title of "One Take Echo"), and some not so good ones evident that my voice was getting tired. Still, this one didn't turn out too bad. Another Jewel song that to this day is still the song that people requested of me the most. It was some Hanson fans that named me "The Jewel Of The Rockies." |
|
| Foolish Games | The Rose | I Will Remember You | Wind Beneath My Wings | Hurt Me | You Were Meant For Me | All Cried Out |
|
This song was... really bad, haha. I didn't really know the song and had no one to sing the guy part which I didn't know myself. This was my first lesson in song choice. Just because you love the song doesn't mean you can sing it. Jason thought I did a good job on this extremely hard song for someone of my age and skill level. So he tacked it on the end of the album. Well, no offense to the songwriters, performers, or Jason, but I never sang this song again. |

| Love Loving You | When You're Gone | Let You Go (Acoustic) | |
| Space is silence it moves with a sigh and drifts on and on It takes its time in its permanence like a love that has learned it will soon be gone But I, I stay just to wake to your face 'Cuz I love loving you wrong or right I just do Can't fight what makes you burn and vow for love in return Time, life's mortality it will never stop even if our hearts do We're bound eternally These words I say are true, I would surely die to live without you Oh I, I pray there's no way for love to fade / Chorus What must I do, do you feel the way I do? This love we share has nothing to fear A thousand swords hold no threat Like the sea blesses the sunset it's not just my hand you hold Within your soul I'm home / Chorus |

Floating on an ocean without sails That's how I'll feel when you're gone The winter wind has become my friend an empty voice to numb me once again That's how I'll feel when you're gone A contradiction of reason, I'm falling no parachute, no safety net, or place to bail to I didn't wanna love you this much, but I did Beautiful notes on a page but no player to take the stage You didn't wanna hurt me, but you did My heart breaks too easily take care of yours Though I don't know if I can shift these dreams I'm still in love with the moments, the sounds, the feelings and it's too soon to let go Sometimes I don't understand how we are the way we are nothing less, but never more than friends and don't friends fall in love? Breathing like this was never easy on either of us and I just want what you want So I guess this settles the tab No more favors have I to ask / Chorus Floating on an ocean without sails That's how I'll feel when you're gone |

I watch the sun come up, tears fill my eyes Heaven's gone, I cry He left me with misery, didn't let me say goodbye Now it's over, time to let go But it's all behind me now I can turn and walk away 'cuz I know that I am brave So just go I didn't need to hear the door slamming when you left I could see it in your eyes and it hurt me deep I'll always remember you all the sweet things you did for me How you were my heaven for awhile / Chorus I'm learning that I don't need your arms, I don't need your time I don't need your smile, the sun still shines without your eyes So just go Just go If I let you go, can I let you go? I need to let you go, but I'm so scared It hurts to let you go Heaven's gone if I let you go Can I let you go? I'll let you go |

I started writing this song in 2003 and put it on the back burner. In 2005, I met Aaron who helped me to finish the lyrics and turn it into the beautiful duet that it is. Thanks Aar! |

This is a compilation of inner struggles and questions I never dared to ask the person it was directed to. Aaron told me it was my best work after hearing it for the first time. |

It took me 5 years to finally push past the hurt enclosed in this song. After it was finished and I performed it for the first time, I felt released. In 2002, I met an extremely talented musician, Chris McDowell, who helped me to bring this song to life. Thanks Chris! |

| There's a river run where I go to have my fun In its waves I see your face I don't wanna leave this place So river take me there River, take me where The river runs to shore I wanna see my baby more River, run to shore Let me see my baby more It hurts to think I might lose in the thickness of the love in you But it's here where I feel safe I don't wanna leave this place / Chorus And there's nothing you can say that will make me change my ways There's nothing you can find that will make me change my mind / Chorus So river, run to shore I wanna see you a little more |

| River Run | Rising Sun (2003 Remix) | |
| Time goes by so slow and I wonder why I don't know why you look at me that way in the rising sun everyday and I see so much of me when I hear your voice, when you start to sing I see your silhouette in the rising sun feel you everywhere when the twilight comes wanna be with you, you've got the kind of love I need in my life It's the little things that you say and the subtle way that you play with every part of my brain that turns me on and feeds the flame and I see so much of me in you when I hear your voice, when you start to sing / Chorus I can't overcome the longing, the aching, the wanting, the waiting / Chorus |

It took me 10 minutes to write this song. I played the chords and the lyrics wrote themselves. |

In 2002, I met an extremely talented musician, Chris McDowell. We set out to re-record a couple of songs and master some news ones. This is one of them. |

| Standing in the night, waiting for the light. It is cold. I look up and I am surrounded by stars. I look down at my feet, but can't tell where my boots stop and the ground begins. I look straight ahead into the darkness for a hint of light. There is none. I close my eyes and let the last remaining blackness of dusk and dawn engulf me. Suddenly, the hovering clouds begin to strobe with light. As it comes around the curve of the mountain it hits me like a wave of salt water stinging my eyes until they adjust. The light stops in front of me and I step into its warmth. As the warmth melts away the many layers of frost that have gathered on my mittens and backpack I begin to relax. My last thoughts before I fall asleep are, "At last the school bus has come, and I don't have to wait for the light." |

| It was the way in which his eyes caught mine That held me in that one moment so long. I knew in that instant that we belonged And we would be together for all time. I remember how he wrote me a rhyme And how he turned that rhyme into a song. He sang to me his lyrics so strong And softly wiped away the tears I cried. But so far away from here doth he live That I begin to miss him more and more. Beautiful music doth he write for me That deeply shows how sensitive he is. Until the day he walks back through my door I'll wait for my love for eternity. |

| There's a spot just beyond the river's bend on the other side of the river from here. I want to live there. I want a cozy cabin with a roof that will sing when the rain hits it. I love the sound of rain. Especially in the evenings. It helps me sleep and I dream more when it rains. Then off in the distance, the thunder rolls like a lover laying next to me in the dark, humming in my ear to put me to sleep. As the thunder rolls over the cabin it shakes the ground. The drip dripping of the rain becomes louder and the beat quickens. Lightning illuminates the black room in which I'm laying. Thunder immediately follows, cracking the sky into a million pieces which all fall and pound against my roof. Then, as suddenly as it began, it ends. All is quiet. The rain has stopped. |

| The sky begins to turn a dark shade of purple as the sun slowly creeps up from behind the mountain. As the Earth revolves silently toward the sun, purple becomes blue, pink, red, orange and then yellow. The sun pours over the rugged edge of the mountain tops and the first rays of sunlight touch the ground. The frost sparkles like a thousand tiny diamonds spread upon the frozen earth at random. Or as if a thousand little pixies flew over during the night and left behind a trail of fairy dust. Or as if all the stars fell from the sky. |

The wind is blowing. As I sit on my bed and stare out the window, the trees sway back and forth like they're trying to get my attention. Sometimes at night when the stars are out and I'm playing my guitar, I'll look out the window and the wind makes the trees look like a swaying crowd of fans holding lighters in the air. But today the sky is gray. Every once in a while the sun breaks through the snow-heavy clouds and dances on the tiny droplets of freshly melted snow and dew on the tips of each needle of the pine trees. Then it ducks away again concluding the glorious light show. A few flakes of snow fall from the sky, barely visible until they're amongst the deep green of the trees. The wind makes them swirl around each other like wolf cubs playing and falling over one another. When they finally touch the ground they lay there helpless as they begin to melt from the warmth of the earth and finally disappear. If you think about it we all are like snowflakes. Each of us are a little different. Up close each snowflake has its own crystal pattern, but from far away you can't tell the difference. And, like snowflakes, we only exist in this world for a certain amount of time. Just long enough to fulfill our purpose. Then we disappear. A single snowflake can't cover the ground. It takes a whole cloud full of them to make just a single layer of ice. And even then, you can't skate on it. |

| I was sitting by the river when it began to rain. The sky was cracking over me. A single drop fell from the heavens and hit the rushing water in front of me. As it flowed away, this strange feeling came over me. I closed my eyes. When I opened them, the top of the water was dancing. All the while, as each drop of hit, it splashed tiny duplicates of itself onto my bare skin. As the last thunder clap rolled off the gently moving clouds, I built up enough courage to cross the river. Stone by stone, thought by thought, I made my way across the rushing white water. When I stepped on the shore, on the other side of the rain storm, I finally felt the sun on my face. |

| The twisting and turning Smoke reaches to the skies. Then the ember dies, And the strawberry incense that was burning Leaves behind the scent of yearning. |

| Hallelujah! and farewell. My painful past has left me. Sweetly chimes the church bell As I kneel before thee. Candles light this darkened room While I sit and pray. I lay down a rose in full bloom And the silent sound ricochets. I turn around and walk away From the sight of my own coffin. I step into a brand new day, The light of which has softened. I have left one part of my life behind. I shall not forget it, but to the pain of it, forever be blind. |

The music plays, The drum rolls on. These silent days Have come and gone. We've come so far For this one hour, We've made it, par For the course, despite the sweet and sour. The tears flow freely As we say our last goodbyes. What we thought could never be Came true in the blink of an eye. Our future is unknown to us, Unknown to all, but the Stardust. As I'm looking back now, I remember things I've done. I remember the faces of everyone, But can't bring myself to realize how Much we've grown. Yet somehow Each of us, in unison, Have chosen a path to run. A path that Fate has allowed. I never thought this moment would come, But it has and this is it. Our future is unknown to us And we may not know what we will become. But that is what pushes us to an unknown limit, Unknown to all, but the Stardust. |

| The water of the river glistened that morning. The cool morning air was crisp and clean. The aroma of the pine trees filled the air. The sound of birds singing in the trees echoed on and on through the canyon as the river water splashed playfully against my feet. The sky was pure blue and the clouds looked like marshmallows as they floated by above. The trees were green and danced from side to side in the breeze. |

The sun's been down for an hour now. The hands on the clock tell me it's getting late. But no matter how hard I try I can't sleep. So, I throw the covers off and roll over. I grab my flashlight, for although it may still be light outside, my room is in shadows. I look at the clock. "Eleven o'nine." I get up and walk to my open window. "Ah, fresh air!" Above the mountains sits a glowing eye, half asleep from her all night ride. Secretly following her, concealed by the darkness, is her lover; always ready to fight for and protect her. I look back at the clock. "Eleven eleven? Is that all?" I lay back down on the bed and stare at the ceiling. "It must be well over eighty degrees in here!" I let my mind wonder until my eyes begin to droop and finally close. I see the face of a man I know. We say "Hello," and walk down the street, lover's style. Everything is perfect, even my hair, and I know that I have finally drifted into the dream of my dreams. |

| Is it Sagittarius that I see Instead of you watching over me? All this time, have I been deceived? Or, are you just bigger than you seem? I see many modeling themselves after you, As I find myself doing this, too. You truly are the inspiration That heaven granted with your creation. And you will always, as you have been, Be my masculine Orion. |

| Like an autumn dream, the arrow is bound, bound for uncertainty. Gracefully it dodges trunk after trunk until it finds the tallest tree. Smoothly it pierces the red flesh, cracking the core completely in half. Young will considers the two halves carefully, bites into one and nonchalantly throws the other aside. It falls and falls until it meets the top of scientific mind. Three laws were created in a day thanks to this extraordinary fruit. But all the thanks it gets is to be quickly devoured, then tossed off some old fellow's boot. Within an hour to a day, its core was found. Its extracted seed, planted in the ground. Three famous tales I have told thee, three famous tales indeed. But, I bet you couldn't guess the three to be William Tell, Isaac Newton, and Johnny Appleseed. |

I think the rain scares her sometimes. The harder it came down, the closer she snuggled into me and the tighter she pulled my arms around her. Maybe the rain makes her feel alone or reminds her of loneliness. It rained most of the night. There were a couple times the rain raged hard and I could've sworn she was going to pull my arms out of their sockets. So, I held her tighter, matching the strength with which she was pulling on my arms. We sure stayed warm, let me tell you! When the rain let up, so did she. I leaned up on one arm, peeking over her to see if she was still asleep. She rolled over toward me. I laid back down and watched her sleep, gently stroking her hair when it would fall into her face. Her father knocked on the door. She opened her eyes and smiled at me. I smiled back. She slid her arm over and around my neck, pulled me close to her and kissed me. "I love you," she breathed. "I love you, too," I surrendered. We got out of bed and she got dressed. She combed her hair and opened the blinds so the sun sparkled in. She turned around and looked at me, the sun's fire dancing in her hair. She walked over to me and hugged me. We kissed again, delicately savoring the pure honey that flowed between our mouths. She ran her fingers through my hair while looking me over, etching my face into her eyes and mind. "I'll see you tonight," she said. I could tell she was going to miss me until then. We kissed one last time and she walked hesitantly out of the room. "See you tonight," I said. Then I disappeared. |

| Precious, vibrant, full of life. Breath taking beauty enhanced by twilight. Deep reds and oranges mixed by the sun, Projected on clouds of rich butter rum. Electric blues, shocking greens, A phenomenon to us, but to Alaska - routine. Captivated, we watch them glow, These glorious creations of indigo. |

| Potent spices, some strong, some mild, Elaborately spreading, growing wild. The sweet smell of rosemary, the vagueness of thyme. The rose's rare beauty, and blue bells that chime. Forbidden secrets long remembered, Pure Winter's tune chilling the dieing ember. Spring waking the virgin dirt, Her perfumes smothering, yet fragile, burnt. |

| Tiny glittering diamonds, like fairy dust, Cool on my skin in the summer dusk. Reminiscent of twilight's starry air, Or of fireflies tangled in my hair. Like delicate lace, like a dove's lonely coo, Like a kitten's soft purr, it is only true. Complicated simplicity dripping down my wrist, Vanishes and melts into a gently falling mist. |

| Tips of topaz, jewels that glint, Mysteries and dances, you catch only a glimpse. Smokey sands crystallize, Twisting strands hypnotize. Jumping, soaring just as bright As Jesus' aura of holy light. Vivid, hollow, butterscotch and sinew, Oxygen, Christmas comfort, the sun's tattoo. |

| Cold and laid to rest In a velvet case. She is now a silent guest With out a voice, without a face. Pale flowers to say goodbye; Tears, for they have lost her. Morn the passing butterfly, Night shades this fuzzy blur. This shrewd slumber, This constant wailing! God pulled her number. And now she is sailing Her diamond gated track. Her long day has finally faded to black. |

Scattered through the mountains across the canyon there lay deep crevices, dark holes, black spaces where I place all my secrets. I thought they would be safe there, locked away from the world. Until one day, while sending my thoughts to their hiding places, one of my secrets strayed. The wind carried my most precious lonesome secret to the ear of a handsome soul. I heard it whisper back to me. My eyes were met with an equally lonesome set of eyes that vanished when I blinked. I turned to walk away and was embraced with arms so strong I felt nothing could harm me. And a kiss so tender, I felt the rocky world melt away. "You are home," he said, looking through my eyes and into my soul. A bird took flight, startling us enough to look away from each other. When I looked back, he was gone. I've never been that near to him after that. But when I'm driving through the mountains I see him racing through the trees, following me. And when I stop to unload my secrets I feel him watching me, listening to me. And every once in a while he'll show himself to me, perched on a boulder in the shadows of the mountain just to let me know he's there. One day, I will return to the fortress of his arms. To the safety of my soulmate. |

| He believed in a gust of wind. A sign it may have been, But why was it sent? To push him forward or to hold him back? It's all in interpretation, what was meant. The mind lies, the heart deceives... You can't always depend on what you believe. Mistakes start innocently And soon grow to cause deep wounds and irreparable injury. He went searching for a sign, But didn't realize he'd already made up his mind. For all he knows that wind could've been Me sending a kiss to him. Now it's hard for me to keep my faith, For I have lost my safest place. He chose another, what a big mistake... So much heartache to heal when he finds his true soulmate. So, silently I wait, alone once again. Because he believed in a gust of wind. |

I love you, my friend As I love the summer wind That swirls the purple dusk, finds what once was lost, And makes the shadows bend. I love you, my friend As I love the singing rain Who's music from The thunder cloud's drum Calms my soul once again. I love you, my friend As I love the starry night sky That twinkles and winks And silently keeps Records of times gone by. I love you, my friend As the sea loves the shore. It grows and it swells, Then says its farewells, And rushes back to its arms once more. |

Tolkien, The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring "Life is a state of mind." ~ Being There "...Writing music is ultimately unfathomable... It takes a certain type of self-centeredness and self-absorption. It takes single-mindedness. It takes sometimes saying no to things and people I'd rather say yes to. It takes sometimes being misunderstood as being rude or disinterested or selfish. And the more serious I get about it, the more time it wants to take." ~ Composer John Adams of Fairbanks "The world is but canvas to our imaginations." ~ Henry David Thoreau "Love is its own place, even stars, sun and a moon." ~ Rachel Jackson "Sand is already broken, but glass breaks." ~ Francesca Lia Block, The Rose and The Beast "The wealth of the soul is the only true wealth." ~ Lucian "Now I know what I have to do.

My story begins much like any other love story. Don't get me wrong, the story you're about to hear isn't a mushy one. It doesn't have dragons or princes and princesses or wicked stepmothers either. Rather it was a dream I had about a seventeen year old boy and a sixteen year old girl. In my dream, don't ask me why, I took on the part of the boy.
It was a May morning, perfect for taking the girl of your dreams on an adventure walk. There was a bit of a breeze, but not too much. Susie, that's my girlfriend, was feeling pretty down so we walked to our favorite little spot a few feet from the river. We sat down under a willow tree and began to talk about all the insignificant things in life that made us happy. After a while, Susie suggested that we play "Hide and Seek." It was her favorite game to play with me. So I told her to go hide and I would find her. I closed my eyes and began to count: "One... two..." I opened my eyes to peek and see where she had gone. "Nine... TEN! Ready or not, here I come!" The place that Susie chose to hide in wasn't that hard to find. I sneaked up behind her and yelled, "Got you!" "Okay, okay," she laughed, "That was too easy. You go back over there and I'll hide again." "Fine," I mumbled. I didn't particularly like to play this game, but it was good to see her smiling and laughing again. "You tell me when you've found a really good hiding place and then I'll come look for you." She kissed me and ran off into the woods. I went back to the willow and sat down under it. While I was waiting for Susie to call to me, the strangest thing happened... Login or join to read the rest of this story! |
