Convicted Dreamer

By James McGill

I chose this title because I believe that holding fast to your dreams is of the utmost importance. Doing what we love in life satisfies us and this requires us to be "convicted." I believe both love and dreams are rooted in the same source, love!

Alive To Strive

Day in, day out

you dream about

a life you began

at times to doubt

Hang true, hang tough

You learn this stuff

of life, it’s struggle

to surpass the rough

So begin, so start

you came, you’ll part

Hold fast your way

rise above, be smart

Head high, eyes fixed

no deceit can mix

You go, you learn

You take your licks

Day in, day out

you dreamt about

the life you began

Your life, your route

Living For Today

Growing it reaches, never to grasp

Growing it teaches, always to last

Never’s too fast for the moment at hand

For the moment at hand can’t take a stand

So take it for now, let it go for tomorrow

For a moment in time is only ours to borrow.

New Age Current

There’s a new age comin’

it’s causing all the changes

the pace is getting quicker

hold on for the ride

For the ride has just begun

and it’s for what we sung

but we must pay the price

and it’s all we’ve done

Look around see the confusion

but lay it all to rest

cause to make the other side

we must pursue it as a test

The lost people will be last

to realize what’s going on

they’re the ones with the doubt

they’ll try to slow you down

With head high follow inspi ration

cause the new age is comin’

don’t be caught feeling down

cause the current starts within

It’s powerfully big and it’s fact

truth’s behind it pushing fast

forget your scheming mind’s tact

truth comes first and stays last

Brighter Pastures

Fast talking, back stabbing, leaving it behind

discovering new fields, going to take my time.

Suns are rising, white light energizing

triumphant I will be.

Finding it to be the brightest of brights

with the darkest of blacks indeed.

A combination of opposing energies

with an understanding of the balance we need.

Playin’ Again

I’m rollin’ and a tumblin’

throwin’ and a doublin’

things getting dicey again.

I’m a flippin’ and fumblin’

strollin’ and stumblin’

on my face again.

I’m foldin’, no I’m holdin’

am I standin’, am I callin’

ace in the hole again.

I’m winnin’, then I’m losin’

first sittin’, then cruisin’

playin’ the game again.

’Stead of passin’, I’m bettin’

’stead of losin’, I’m gettin’

part way ’round again.

I’m sweatin’ and I’m cursin’

first payin’, then pursin’

on a roll again.

I’m breakin’ and I’m shakin’

either bluffin’ or fakin’

playin’ again and again.

Heed The Seed’s Direction

Whining and crying, caring to keep

all the things that’ll change a sheep.

Moaning and groaning, daring to leap

when all we want is love to reap.

Sighing and trying for the love we need

to make it the flower instead of a seed.

Means So Much

It means so much to me

to see it mean so much to you

having it spread all over our globe

Because when it means so much to us

It’ll be in God we truly trust

His means last forever

Stop Already

Got to get back, got to get back home

got to get it happening in a real life tone.

Been too long of a nap, too soon I’ll snap

if I don’t get it happening and stop all this crap.

Needing invigoration and a little inspiration

needing a way out of this annihilation.

’Cause the walls are shaking, the floor is quaking

then there’s the door and it’s only making

the whole situation more frustrating.

My bones are aching, my back is breaking

then there’s my head and it’s only making

the whole situation more frustrating.

There’s been a mishap, I’ve been stuck with a rap

that I know nothing about or how to adapt.

Too long of a trial, too long of a
