HOW MUCH MORE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2017

DAYS COME, AND DAYS GO 

A BLESSING AND A CURSE

SOMETIMES I'D RATHER NOT SHOW UP FOR ANYTHING

SOME DAYS I'D RATHER NOT HAVE TO FACE ANYONE

KEEP MYSELF TO MYSELF

RECHARGE MY SANITY

NO PAPERS NO NEWS

WAY TO GO, YOU CAN'T LOSE

I DON'T WANT TODAY, UNTIL TOMORROW

I'LL SKIP IT IF IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU

ONCE IN AWHILE, THE WORLD PRESSES

JUST A LITTLE TOO HARD

SNEAKS RIGHT UP BEHIND ME

CATCHES ME OFF-GUARD

I HIDE MYSELF AWAY

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED

BECOME UNKIND

SOMETIMES I'M ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT'S MINE

WHATEVER HAPPENED OVER TIME

IS THIS HOW WE WANT TO LIVE

I SPEND TOO MUCH TIME STRESSING

ABOUT THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE

I HAVE TO TRY, THAT'S JUST ME

HOW MUCH MORE CAN THERE BE

YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL, I DON'T NEED IT

DON'T BUY IN ANYMORE, DON'T FEED IT

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I WALK ALONE

IT'S THEN I KNOW I'VE REACHED MY DARKEST HOUR

WALKING AWAY FROM EVERYONE

I'M A LITTLE WORRIED, I CAN'T SEE

NOTHING BUT BLACK IN FRONT OF ME

BLUE IN WAVES COMING THROUGH

WITH A STIFF WIND BEHIND ME PUSHING ME ALONG

TO A PLACE, I BELONG TO

RIGHT HERE IN THE TREES

THE STARS COME OUT TO DREAM

AND I CAN START TO BREATHE

EXHALE A LITTLE RELIEF

AS I START TO SEE

ALL IT'S EVER GOING TO BE

IN THE SMOULDERING RUINS

COMES THE HOPE, TO CARRY ON

YOU HAD IT ALL ALONG

WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS GONE 

IT LEFT ME SHAKEN DEEP INSIDE

BUT I'M OKAY

HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS CAN WE TAKE

SURELY MOST OF THIS, IS A MISTAKE

HOW MUCH MORE, COULD THERE BE

BLISSFULLY INDIFFERENT

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

STARS HUNG LIKE CURTAINS ACROSS THE SKIES

AND DOWN BELOW THE ICY WAVES IN DARKNESS 

FIND THEIR WAY TO DISTANT SHORES

WHERE ECHOES AND PREVAILING WINDS

KEEP ON BRINGING MORE

FATHOMS BELOW IN THEIR WATERY GRAVES

THEY WATCH WITH FASCINATION

ETERNALLY BRAVE, AND DAMNED TO THE SEA

NEVER HUNGRY AGAIN

JUST PATIENTLY AWAITING

FOR AND END THAT NEVER COMES

THEN COMES THE MORNING SUN

TO SPLIT THE DARKNESS, LIKE IT'S ALWAYS DONE

JUST BEYOND THE SEA

WRAPPED IN CONCRETE,STEEL AND GLASS

THE FAITHFUL ALL GOING SOMEWHERE

BUT I'M AFRAID TO ASK

BLISSFULLY INDIFFERENT, BUT FULLY AWARE

OF ANOTHER RHYTHM

WAXING PEACEFUL WITH GRACEFUL CARE

ANOTHER DIMENSION

I MIGHT SEE YOU THERE

LAYING ABOUT ON AVERY SUNNY DAY

IN THE VICINITY OF WATER AND OBSCURITY

WAVES AND SEABIRDS, FILL MY EARS

 WITH SOUNDS I LIKE TO HEAR 

FILLS MY SENSES, AND MY HEART WITH CHEER

CAUGHT IN THE WHIMS OF SUMMER

HYPNOTIZED, A RECURRING DREAM

FINALLY REALIZED

LOOKING BACK SOMEWHERE

BACK IN 1974

IN A PLACE I WASN'T SURE

I SAW THE SEAMS RIPPED OUT

OF TOO MANY DREAMS

IT MAKES YOU HARD

STEELS YOUR POSITION

NOT TO MENTION YOUR OPINION

SOMETIMES IT ALL COMES BACK

IT'S NOT PERFECT, THERE'S A CRACK

IN MY SENSES

RAISES UP MY DEFENCES

SOMETIMES IT'S OKAY

TO BE BLISSFULLY INDIFFERENT

DISTRACTED BY PROMISES MADE BY SUMMERS FADING LIGHT

Poem: You Don't Know The End

Painting By: J.R HILTON

YOU DON'T KNOW THE END

 WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2016 

IN THE BEGINNING YOU DON'T KNOW THE END

AND RIGHT IN BETWEEN THERE

THE MIXED MESSAGES THEY SEND

HOW COULD WE EVER LET IT COME TO THIS

LEVELS OF CONTROL THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST

ONE AND ONE IS TWO

UNLESS THEY TELL YOU THE ANSWER IS BLUE

TAKE EVERY CHANCE YOU GET

TO SAVOR THE TASTE

TAKE ALL YOU CAN TAKE

THE FREEDOMS THAT YOU MAKE

MOVING THROUGH LIFE YOU TRIP AND FALL

YOU DUST YOURSELF OFF AND START AGAIN

BECAUSE FREEDOMS STILL THERE

JUST OUT OF REACH

FROM CONCRETE JUNGLES

TO A SANDY BEACH

ALL THESE DAYS PASS YOU BY SO QUICKLY

IT LEAVES YOU DAZED

THE HOURS YOU WASTED YOU WILL TRY TO GET BACK

BUT DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME THERE

KEEP MOVING FORWARD

AFTER YOU LOCK THAT DOOR

NOTHING CHANCED, NOTHING GAINED

YOU WON'T  WIN EVERY TIME, BUT IT'S BETTER 

THAN MORE OF THE SAME

SOME WILL MAKE IT, SOME NEVER WILL

TOO MUCH TIME TO KILL

MATTERS NOT YOUR GOD IN THE END

THE GODS WERE ALL AROUND YOUR EARTHLY BONDS

EVERY STAR, EVERY OCEAN, EVERY TREE

AND THE FRAGILE EARTH BENEATH YOUR FEET

FROM RAGING RIVERS, TO LITTLE STREAMS

THE SUN, THE MOON AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN 

A PART OF EVERYTHING

IN THE BEGINNING YOU DON'T KNOW THE END

AND RIGHT IN BETWEEN THERE

A SHORTCUT THROUGH TIME

A WINDOW FOR YOU TO FIND

AND IF YOU MISS IT DON'T WORRY AT ALL

YOU'LL TAKE THE SCENIC ROUTE

WHEN YOU HEAR THE CALL

FALLING UP

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2016

 

I WATCH THE SUNSET

UNTIL THE LAST GLOW FADES AWAY

THE NIGHT GROWS COLD

BUT I STAY

THE SHOWS JUST BEGINNING

AS THE STARS TAKE THEIR PLACE

GLIMMERING AND GLOWING

THE MILKY WAY APPEARS

 WITH IT'S USUAL GRACE

SATELLITES DRIFTING BY 

WATCHED BY CAREFUL EYES

MOONLIGHT CARESSES THE QUIET SEA

AND ALL MY SENSES 

AS IT FINDS ME

FALLING UP INSTEAD OF DOWN

YOU DON'T NEED A REASON WHY

TO BE EMBRACED BY THE WILD BLACK AND BLUE 

I CAN SEE IT ALL FROM HERE

I CAN SEE IT ALL SO CLEAR

LOOK UP AT THE SKY

AND TELL ME

 YOU STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND

YOU'RE PART OF SOMETHING

 BIGGER THAN US ALL

SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL

BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH

SOMETHING WE ALL NEED SO MUCH

OPEN YOUR HEART

OPEN YOUR MIND

YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO FIND

THERE'S SOMETHING YOU CAN HEAR

THAT DOESN'T MAKE A SOUND

SOMETHING THAT MAKES THIS WORLD GO AROUND

LIFE BREATHED INTO LOVE

FOR ALL LIVING THINGS

EMBRACE IT FOR THE PEACE IT BRINGS 

THE WORLD HAS SO MUCH TO SAY

IF YOU LISTEN

 MAGICAL PLACE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

HOW LONG COULD IT BE

HOW LONG COULD IT TAKE

TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THIS RAIN AND UNCERTAINTY

LOSING MY WAY

LOSING TIME AGAIN

PRECIOUS DAYS I PUSHED AWAY

AFTER MY FATHER PASSED I WAS NEVER THE SAME

LOST AND WANDERING IN AN INDIFFERENT WORLD

I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE TRAGIC OUTCOME OF THIS GAME

I KEPT ROLLING ON

AFTER EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING WAS GONE

I COULDN'T STAY, I MADE MY GETAWAY

ALL THE THINGS I'VE TRIED

IT'S A MIRACLE I'M STILL ALIVE

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY WISH TO SEE

PEACE AND HARMONY

FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING ME

IF EVERYONE WOULD JUST PLAY FAIR

THE MADNESS WOULD GO AWAY

AND WHAT A MAGICAL PLACE THIS WOULD BE

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE

FREE THINKERS THAT ARE FREE

EVERYBODY LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER

SISTERS AND BROTHERS

 I'LL KNOW I FOUND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

FOR WHAT I WAS WISHING FOR

GET THE WICKED OUT THE DOOR

WITH ALL THE EVIL GONE AWAY

THINK ABOUT THE KIND OF DAYS WE COULD HAVE

BUT FOR NOW THERE'S JUST RAIN

TOO MUCH SUFFERING AND PAIN

THE SUN STILL SETS

THINKING HOW IT COULD BE

WE ALL GO ONTO SOMETHING

BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD BEFORE

AND WHEN WE DON'T

IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL

SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE TO FALL

WHEN NO ONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE

YOU'VE GONE A LITTLE TOO FAR

 

TOO MUCH SUFFERING AND PAIN

NEW AGAIN

Written By: J.R HILTON

2016

WHEAT KINGS COMING HOME

SO MUCH I LEFT BEHIND

BUT OH SO MUCH LEARNED

AS THE LESSONS TURNED

ONE BY ONE UNTIL THE YEARS WENT BY

ROAMING LIKE A GYPSY

WATCHING THE MOON ABOVE THE SEA

ON THE SHORE BENEATH A TREE

MY WILL ROLLING IN AND OUT

ON THE WHIMS OF TIDE

DREAM THE DREAM THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN

ALWAYS STEPS AWAY

JUST BEYOND MY REACH

THAT'S HOW IT ALWAYS SEEMS

I'M TIRED OF THE CHASE

THE AGE OLD RACE

LIVING BY THE CLOCK

YOU CAN'T EVER STOP

QUIET IS THE NIGHT

IN THE MOUNTAIN MOONLIGHT

THE AURORA FLICKERS IN THE SKY

TWO STARS GO SHOOTING BY

AND JUST TO BE FAIR

YOU KNOW I SHOULD BE THERE

STOKING THE FIRE

AND THEN, THE MORNING COMES

SUNRISE SPARKLES ON THE DEW

EVERYTHING IS OLD AGAIN

AND YET IT'S ALL NEW

I'M ON MY WAY FROM THE SHADOW OF DOUBT

THAT'S MY HAND REACHING OUT

MY HAND TOUCHING YOURS

AS YOU APPROACH DISTANT SHORES 

THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS

SO I STARE STRAIGHT AHEAD

NOW THAT IT'S MY TURN

I'M SURE CASTLES ARE GOING TO BURN

EMPIRES WILL FALL

THE ONES THAT NEVER LET US IN AT ALL

AND WHEN THE NEW DAY GIVES WAY TO THE SUN

A NEW CHAPTER WILL BEGIN

WHERE PEACE AND GOODWILL

ABIDE TO ALL MEN

AND THE EARTH SIGHS RELIEF

AS THE GOOD GOES BACK TO GROUND

WHERE IT BELONGS
