As long as I can see the light
I will find my way back home
I know that things will be alright
As long as I can see the light
When all I know is out of sight
No matter how far I roam
As long as I can see the light
I will find my way back home

Lots of books on my shelf
With lots of things to say
But I don't know the half of it
'Cause I only read halfway
Lots of movies in my list
Lots of shows to see
But I don't know the half of it
'Cause you're sitting here with me
Lots of people in the world
With lots of things to do
But I don't know the half of it
'Cause I spend my time with you

There is a static in my eyes
That only I can see
This technicolor tv buzz
Is only here for me
Sometimes I do not notice it
Sometimes I'm well aware
But even when I'm fast asleep
The static stays right there.
It's been with me for all my life,
It's with me to the end.
And even when I'm all alone
It's always been a friend.
I always thought its presence
Was the normal point of view.
But now I have a question:
Do you see the static too?

Thoughts today
On layaway
I could pay for the time.
Words of mine
Wont fall in line
Could you please spare a rhyme?
An idea?
A funny quip?
Any thought would be fine.
It would help
As you can see
I've misplaced all of mine.

Just relax
Nice and deep
And let the world drift by
Breathe in slow
Nice and deep
Forget the what and why
Pull your thoughts
Nice and deep
The pond is growing still
Now you are
Nice and deep
Your mind does as you will

In a different life, could I really be me?
Be free to live the life I wanted to?
The life I wish for?
Or would it even be me?
Living in an alternate reality
Am I just the sum of all that happens to me
The happenstance and coincidence
Or is it destiny that I'll be who I am?
Was I meant to be me, or am I sum of mistakes and double takes,
second guesses and messes someone needs to clean up?
Would I be able to fix my problems, or would they no longer be mine?
I guess I'll never know
But a different me might

We all float
Like bubbles of air
So fragile
So carefree
Catching the light around us
Until we go pop
– SR Romney 2022
You can stretch it out nice and long
But don't go until it snaps
This rubber band can take a lot
Before it develops cracks
Take time to relieve the tension
Lest that become its default state
This rubber band can take a lot
But it can't do much when it breaks
– SR Romney 2022
There is nothing in life
Quite like the feeling
Of laying down
For a guick nap
Five hours ago
– SR Romney 2022
Growing pains like little trees
Taking root in my deep tissues
Nurtured by time and bad habit
Branching out to my extremities
With scarlet red blossoms of life
I'm awash in the experience
The blooming gives to anquish
And makes me feel alive.
