FOOTSTEPS FOOTSTEPS, ALL THE COMINGS AND THE GOINGS IMPRESSIONS IN THE DUST AND IN THE SAND I AM A HARBOR, YOUR SHIP COMES IN THEN SEEING YOU RETREAT INTO THE SUNSET AGAIN I JUST COULD NOT FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY BEING SO YOUNG AS YOUR FOOTSTEPS WALKED AWAY FOOTSTEPS WERE MOVING SO MUCH CLOSER OUR EYES MEETING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME SPARKS IGNITE INTO FIRE AND PASSION IN THE NIGHT GRAVITY PULLED US INTO EACH OTHER'S EMPTY HEARTS YOU TOOK MY LOVE, OUR STEPS BECAME ONE THEN I SAW YOUR FOOTPRINTS RECEDE INTO THE SUN FOOTSTEPS LIKE THE SEASONS HAVE COME AND GONE MILLIONS OF SECONDS SO I PUT THEM TO A SONG SO YOU TELL ME NOW TO GO "CRY YOUR CRY" TO REMEMBER ALL THE TEARS THAT FELL FROM YOUR EYES I SEE THE SCARS I ENTAILED AND THEY MAKE ME WANT TO DIE BECAUSE THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ME NOW AS YOU PASS BY FOOTSTEPS IN THE CHILLING WINTER SNOW AT THE CROSSROADS WHERE WE OFTEN GO NOW I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY FROM DEEP INSIDE BUT YOU CAN NOT GO THERE SO YOU TURN AWAY AND HIDE DON'T FADE AWAY INTO THE TIDE AND THE WINDS OF YOUR WAYS DON'T MAKE ME TURN TO ONLY MY DREAMS OF YESTERDAYS IT IS LONELY HERE IN MY GARDEN OF SOLITUDE SEEING THESE FOUR WALLS I DARE NOT CLIMB IMPRISIONED BY CHAINS OF LOVE, MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WILL YOUR FOOTSTEPS COME TO THE DOOR AND TURN THE KEY? PROBABLY NOT, BUT I WILL WAIT AN ETERNITY YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE THAT EVER KNEW HOW TO HOLD ME GOD IN HEAVEN CAN YOU RELEASE FROM THIS PAIN? HOLY WATER FROM MY SOUL CAN YOU REMOVE THIS STAIN? IF I HAD SPOKEN MY HEART SOONER IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME NOW I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AT WHO IS TO BLAME BUT I CAN IMAGINE YOUR FOOTSTEPS IN THE MORNING RAIN COMING BACK TO COMFORT ME WITH YOUR LOVING ARMS AGAIN LEAPING FORWARD, THEN TWO STEPS BACK SORRY I DID NOT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU LACK? HOLDING A CANDLE BURNING SO HOT AND BRIGHT MY HEART IS A BEACON BEATING IN THE NIGHT FILLING THE EMPTINESS WITH COMFORTING TRUE LOVE FLOWING INTO ONE IS HOPE LOST AGAIN, SEEING YOUR FOOTSTEPS DISPPEARING INTO THE SUN? ________ What can I say? It's Sunday and I am moody. One week of extreme illness makes me weak and want to dig deep. By writing this poem, I can release my feelings of sadness & anxiety from my heart and soul. I can cast my burdens far away in this poem...Far away to that garden of solitude where I dwell from time to time.. Nancy G. "Firefly" www.nancy-heartmusic.com Rich blessings to you.....

OLD FRIENDS By: Simon and Garfunkel Old friends, old friends, Sat on their parkbench like bookends A newspaper blown through the grass Falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends Old friends, winter companions, the old men Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset The sounds of the city sifting through trees Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends Can you imagine us years from today, Sharing a parkbench quietly How terribly strange to be seventy Old friends, memory brushes the same years, Silently sharing the same fears ____________________________________________ BOOKENDS BY: Simon and Garfunkel Time it was and what a time it was it was, A time of innocence, a time of confidences, Long ago It must be, I have a photograph Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you ________________________________________ DANGLING CONVERSATION BY: Simon and Garfunkel In the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs, Are the borders of our lives. And you read your Emily Dickinson, And I my Robert Frost, And we note our place with bookmarkers That measure what we've lost. Like a poem poorly written We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme, In syncopated time Lost in the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs, Are the borders of our lives. Yes, we speak of things that matter, With words that must be said, "Can analysis be worthwhile?" "Is the theater really dead?" And how the room is softly faded And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand, You're a stranger now unto me Lost in the dangling conversation. And the superficial sighs, In the borders of our lives. _____________________________________ Where Are You Going? By: Dave Matthews Where are you going, with your long face pulling down? Don’t hide away, like an ocean But you can’t see, but you can smell And the sound of the waves crash down I am no superman I have no answers for you I am no hero, oh that’s for sure But I do know one thing for sure Is where you are, is where I belong I do know, where you go, is where I want to be Where are you going, where do you go? Are you looking for answers, to questions under the stars? If along the way you are growing weary, you can rest with me until a brighter day It’s okay, where are you going, where do you go? I am no superman I have no answers for you I am no hero, oh that’s for sure But I do know one thing for sure Is where you are, is where I belong I do know, where you go, is where I want to be Where are you going, where do you go? Are you looking for answers, where do you go? Where are you going? Where do you go? Let’s go. __________________________________________ RETROFLECTIVE BY: Nancy G "firefly" I am the one always looking back To the feelings deep inside that I now lack And they're falling like a new spring rain So into my memories I fly again and again I've been down this road many times before There's the path, here's the key to the door I see a book opened up to a page on the floor Saying, "The biggest regret is I didn't hold you more" Retroflective am I Into my dreams I do fly Til my heart stops and the day I die Retroflective am I You are my every, every sunrise All the colors of your eyes And the moon is out tonight I remember you held me tight But I'm sitting alone in the dark The candles glow The watermark Retroflective am I Into my memories I do fly Come fly with me Come fly with me Retroflective am I ___________________ If you would like to read some of my orginal poetry or listen to songs I write and record visit my website @ www.nancy-heartmusic.com

WHERE ARE YOU NOW? WHAT DO YOU REALLY FEEL? ARE YOUR THOUGHTS STILL LOCKED UP IN YOUR VAULT? FALLING INTO MY BED IN THE SMALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT WRESTLING HARD AGAINST THE CURRENT OF THIS FLOWING RIVER INTO THE EMPTINESS OF THE UNSURE FUTURE I'M CASTING LIGHT, IS THAT A NO TRESPASSING SIGN UP AHEAD? STILL MY HEART BLEEDS FOR ANOTHER HELLO ARE THE PATTERNS LIKE THE SEASON OF TIME? I'M THINKING OUT LOUD A LOT THESE DAYS I AM WAITING PATIENTLY FOR THE NEXT HELLO I ANGUISH, WILL IT BE NOW OR TOMORROW OR AN ETERNITY? I JUST DON'T KNOW GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET THE SUN, MOON AND THE STARS LIGHT MY PATH WHEN WILL COMPASSION AND FORGIVENESS BE FOUND? I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU BETWEEN THE SPACE OF HELLO AND GOODBYE IT MIGHT BE FOREVER. WHO IS TO TELL? FRAGILE LIKE A WHITE ROSE IN THE SNOW YOU ARE LADEN WITH THE CHAINS YOU CARRY THE PAIN I FEEL IS FROM THE SCARS I GAVE OTHERS NOW THE RAIN FOLLOWS ME EVERYWHERE I GO I'M PRAYING TO GOD TO EMBRACE ME AND HE FREE ME FROM THE WORD "GOODBYE" ONE YEAR AND A DAY AGO, I HELD YOUR HELLOS CLOSE TO MY HEART TREASURING EACH WORD, SMOOTHING MORE THAN YOU WOULD EVER KNOW IN A LIFETIME, THROUGH ETERNITY, THAT SOUND, BEFORE EACH TICKING TIME PIECE I AM OVERWHELMED AND FROZEN IN THE SPACE BETWEEN HELLO AND GOODBYE
