What a Match - USA vs Paraguay

 I cannot go to bed until I say it, GOOOOOAL!

Nice job y'all, as they say in the south. You played well most of the 1st half and got your rhythm back towards the end of the 2nd. Truthfully that last goal had me screaming. But more than that USA, you played as a team and that made this old soccer fan proud! 

Game on World.

Unspoken

Words don't always match the heart, 

they're strong when heart is torn apart.

They overflow in angry tone, 

when heart is bleeding all alone.

They're building blocks to shield the rain, 

as heart stands in the thick of pain.

No, words don't always match the heart, 

in-fact they're sometimes worlds apart.

Silly rhyme

Are you a willow or a pine? 

Doesn't matter, cause you're mine.

I will watch you as you grow, 

and in time you'll let me know.

Too Much?

Is it too much to dream

like the twinkling stars.

To reach beyond the hurdles

that surround who you are. 

To kindle the sparks 

in hope of a flame. 

To blaze through the moments 

that all seem the same. 

Is it too much to seek courage 

when crippled by doubt. 

To whisper in the echoes 

of cold endless shouts. 

To press on determined

as tears cradle skin.

Refusing to let darkness win, 

to decide where they end...

you begin!

A thought (in a stack of old papers).

Shadows are mute observers of a life in the light.

Would you wait

Would you wait as the world kept on turning, 

with the hope of a future fire burning. 

As the stars that once shone would disappear, 

would you grab hold of the wish and fight the fear. 

Would you wait as the seasons slipped away, 

while today became a distant yesterday. 

And tomorrow just a shadow of the moon, 

painted on the walls of an empty room. 

Would you wait in the still of a beating heart, 

pulsing in the distance miles apart. 

With bated breath of what might never be,

would you wait even if you could not see. 

Would you wait on the outside of that door,

holding on to hope of something more.

As moments blur within the hands of time, 

would you wait for fate to etch love into rhyme.

Sink

Sometimes you want to sink, 

to do anything but think. 

To give in to the sea, 

and let it all just be.

In still of pain and swell, 

drowning in that hell.

Where all the anguish tries, 

to settle as it dies.

Beneath the burning sand, 

where no-one holds your hand.

Sometimes you have to sink, 

to fight your way back from the brink.
