DESTINIES


My last entry for 2019

DESTINIES

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

DEC.2019 

ALL THESE STARS
POINTING OUT THE WAY
YOU WATCH THEM
FROM WHERE YOU LAY
DESTINY
 DOESN'T NEED TO BE
A PLACE THAT 
YOU DON'T KNOW

ALL THE SPACES
BETWEEN THE PLACES
YOU GO
WHERE THE WINDS BLOW
AND WATER FLOWS DOWN
MOONLIGHT SHINING
SHADOWS GROWING LONG
 TIME TO GO

THE CLOUDS ARE
 SWEEPING DOWN 
TO STEAL THE SUN
THAT'S IT
THE SUMMERS DONE
SEASONS CHANGE
SO THAT YOU
WOULD KNOW
SCENERY CHANGES
ALL COVERED IN SNOW
HOW EASY IT WOULD BE
TO GO

ANY ROAD HEADED SOUTH
FOLLOWED THE SUN AWAY
LEFT IN THE FALL
SAID THAT'S IT, THAT'S ALL
I WANNA LIVE
IN THE SUN AT THE SEA
I KNOW I COULD, ITS SO ME
BUT ALL THESE SPACES
IN BETWEEN
WON'T LET ME GO
AND LATELY
I JUST DON'T KNOW

DID YOU EVER FEEL LIKE
 YOU WANT TO FLY AWAY
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE
YOU'D WANT TO STAY
WHERE DID IT GO
I LOOKED AROUND
AND ALL I SAW WAS SNOW

ITS MORE OF THE SAME
I GUESS I'M TO BLAME
BUT THAT WON'T
STOP ME
FROM TRYING TO GET THERE

AND LATELY
I JUST DON'T KNOW
ITS ONLY TIME, THAT'S FLYING
AND ANY ROAD
HEADED SOUTH, TO FIND THE SUN
AND IF I MAKE IT, HEY
YOU KNOW I TRIED TO SAY
IT COULDN'T HAVE COME
AT A BETTER TIME 
ALL THESE STARS
POINTING THE WAY
SINKING IN MY OWN FOOTSTEPS

UNDER PERFECT SKIES



UNDER PERFECT SKIES

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

DEC.2019


CAN'T SEE THROUGH
THE RAYS OF GOLDEN SUN
A RIVER OF DIAMONDS 
ON THE RUN
HOW CAN I GET
ANYTHING DONE
WITH SKIES SO BLUE 
THE AIR SO SWEET
ALL AROUND YOU

CAN'T GO FORWARD
CAN'T GO BACK
CAN'T EVEN SEE
THE PATH I'M ON
WARM BREEZES BLOW
BUT I'M STUCK HERE
I CAN'T GO
WE'LL SIT HERE
TIL ITS TIME 

FLOWERS LEND THEMSELVES
TO THE SUN
I LOOK AT YOU
AND YOU JUST SMILE
WE CAN GO
IN JUST AWHILE

SET OUT WITH YOU
UNDER PERFECT SKIES
SO BLUE
LAUGHING, LOVING
IN THE SUN 
YOU COULD OF TOLD ME
YOU'D STEAL MY HEART
A BREATH AWAY
FROM ALL MY TIME
I DON'T MIND
EVEN A LITTLE
I LIKE IT A LOT

THE TIMES I LOOKED AROUND
TO SEE 
IF YOU WERE STILL THERE
RIGHT BESIDE ME
SO MUCH OF YOU
INSIDE ME
YOU FUND THIS CRAZY SMILE
I JUST CAN'T HIDE
CAN'T EVEN
I WOULDN'T TRY

THE THINGS YOU DO
THAT MAKE YOU YOU
YOU FOUND ME
MOVING THROUGH
A STORM
LOOKING FOR THE SUN
SAW YOUR SMILE
AND I KNEW
I WAS HEADING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION

SAW YOU FALLING
TOWARDS ME
COMING RIGHT FOR ME
A BROKEN SKY BEGAN TO MEND
I NEVER LOOKED BACK
WE KEPT RIGHT ON GOING
FOUND SO MUCH MORE
THAN JUST THE SUN
THE CALL THE ANSWER
AND TWO BECAME AS ONE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: A PIECE OF HEAVEN

THE WORDSMITH MILL: A PIECE OF HEAVEN:  A PIECE OF HEAVEN   WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 2019    TAKE YOUR PLACE BY MY SIDE LET YOUR HAIR FALL TOUCHING MY SKIN ...

A PIECE OF HEAVEN


 A PIECE OF HEAVEN
 
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON
2019 
 
TAKE YOUR PLACE
BY MY SIDE
LET YOUR HAIR FALL
TOUCHING MY SKIN
GET TO THE PLACE
IN YOUR HEART
I SHOULD BE
AM I NOT
 
SOME HEAVEN BESIDE ME
IN YOU
A LITTLE, A LOT
IN EVERYTHING YOU DO
FIND THE SPRING
SONGBIRDS SING
FLOWERS BLOOM
AND LOVE RISES
INTO MISTY MORNING SUN
 FROM WINTERS
 DREARY SLEEP
 
I FEEL YOU HERE
IN SO DEEP
WITHIN YOUR THOUGHTS
WITHIN YOUR REACH
IF I GET SILENT
CAN'T SPEAK TO YOU
CAN'T FIND THE WORDS 
NO MATTER WHAT I DO
THEIR NEVER ENOUGH
TO SAY HOW YOU
MAKE ME FEEL

A PIECE OF HEAVEN
EVERYTHING YOU ARE
IN EVERYTHING YOU DO
YOUR LIGHT ALWAYS
SHINES THROUGH
THE DARKEST NIGHT
 
LOVE IN TIME
FOR SWEETEST NIGHT
THERE'S SOMETHING
  YOU SURELY DO
TO ME
HELP ME SEE
YOUR HEAVEN TONIGHT
UNDER THE STARS
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE 
I MIGHT
 
IF I COULD HAVE
A MOMENT WITH YOU
FIGURE OUT
HOW TO MAKE IT
LAST FOREVER
IN THE DAYS
DYING LIGHT
A PIECE OF HEAVEN 
SEEMS SO BEAUTIFUL
SEEMS SO RIGHT

I FEEL YOU HERE
IN SO DEEP
SOMEWHERE IN THE STARS
WHERE THE ANGELS SLEEP
I NEED YOU TO SAY
I NEED YOU TO STAY
EVERYTHING YOU ARE
COVERS ME IN LIGHT
HOW COULD I
NOT NEED YOU
IN MY LIFE

THE WORDSMITH MILL: LOSE MYSELF

THE WORDSMITH MILL: LOSE MYSELF: LOSE MYSELF WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 2019 I'VE BEEN DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH I KNOW WHAT I FACE INTO THE ARMS...

LOSE MYSELF



LOSE MYSELF

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019


I'VE BEEN DIGGING
FOR THE TRUTH
I KNOW WHAT I FACE
INTO THE ARMS OF GRACE
SURE AND PROUD
SHE WON'T LET ME DOWN
SHE WON'T
LEAVE ME HIGH AND DRY
WHILE I DECIDE
WHICH IS THE RIGHT WAY

SHE KNOWS I KNOW
SHE'S WAITING FOR ME
TO COME OUT
WHERE I SHOULD
SHE KNOWS I CAN
SHE KNOWS I WILL
SHE SAID I WOULD

SHE KNOWS IT RUNS DEEP
SILENT AND TRUE
EVERYTHING TO
APPEAL TO YOU
KEEPS YOU COMING BACK TO ME
WE BOTH KNOW
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHERE YOU NEED TO BE

FILL MY DAYS WITH
SO MUCH LOVE
THAT I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO LOSE MYSELF
IN ANYTHING BUT YOU
I CAN, I DO

AT THE END OF THE DAY
ITS ONLY YOU
THAT I CARE ABOUT
WHEN THE SKY LIGHTS UP
WITH EVERY STAR
ALL I NEED TO SEE
IS YOU BESIDE ME
WHERE YOU ARE

AT THE END OF THE NIGHT
IN DAWNS GLOWING LIGHT
AS LONG AS
YOU'RE BESIDE ME
I'LL KEEP UP THE FIGHT
TOMORROW COMES
AND ALL THAT'S CHANGED
IS THE DAY
TO BE EVERYTHING
TO FEEL THAT WAY

I KNOW ONE DAY
I'M GONNA FIND OUT
I KNOW WHAT I FACE
THERE I GO
INTO THE ARMS OF GRACE
LOSE MYSELF IN YOU
HOW FAR ITS HARD TO SAY
I'LL FIND MY WAY
BECAUSE OF YOU

FINDING GROUND



FINDING GROUND

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

SUN RAYS FALLING
FROM A SEPTEMBER SKY
SHINING ON THE MOUNTAINS 
ALL AROUND US, WAY UP HIGH
KIND OF A SUMMER
GOODBYE

TODAY WITH YOU
AN ENCHANTING DREAM
COULDN'T BE MORE LUCKY
COULDN'T BE MORE CHARMED
BEAUTY TOOK THE WORDS 
FROM ME
NOTHING BUT SILENT SERENITY

SEE SOMETHING REAL
LIKE THIS
THE HAPPINESS
THE BLISS
CAN'T STAY INSIDE

NEVER JUST ANOTHER DAY
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT SEE
ALL THE MAGIC, THE MYSTERY 
BABY THIS HEART OF MINE
I SEE AS YOURS
AIN'T NO DISTANCE 
I WOULDN'T GO
TO MAKE SURE 
THAT YOU KNOW
 ITS YOU I NEED

MADE YOU SMILE
HEARD YOU LAUGH
AND IN AWHILE
YOU HAD ALL MY ATTENTION
ALL MY LOVE
I WON'T MENTION
LIKE ONLY I CAN

LEAVES ARE DANCING
THEY'RE TURNING
FLYING TWISTING
FINDING GROUND
JUST LIKE ME
I WAS FOUND BY YOU
THE SKIES WERE GRAY
BUT YOU MADE THEM BLUE
YOU TURNED MY HEAD 

SEEMS TO ME
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE
THAT NEEDS YOUR HEART
LIKE I DO
I'M QUITE SURE OF YOU
YOU CAN CARRY THE SUN
TO ME
YOU'RE SO PRETTY
I'M PROUD TO BE
THE ONE YOU LOVE

A PERFECT SKY



A PERFECT SKY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

DEC.2019


WALK IN HARD SUN
THE SHADOWS FEW
COOL WATER
BURNED INTO MEMORY
WALK THROUGH FIERY SAND
LOOKING FOR A TREE
DESERT AND SKY
FIND YOUR WAY OR DIE

THE HERO COMES HOME
THE GLORY FADES
TO OBSCURITY
HOLLOW ALACRITY
THE PRICE YOU PAY
FOR YOUR SANITY
HOW MUCH
FOR PEACE OF MIND
SOMETHING
 I NEED TO FIND 
SOMEWHERE FARAWAY
 FROM HERE 
ON SOME FORSAKEN BEACH
CALL ME ON A SHELL
MAYBE I'LL SAY HELLO

A CERULEAN SKY
PASSING BY
GIVING INTO THE STARS
THE NIGHT FALLING SLOWLY
TO YOU AND I
TOUCHING YOU AND I
A HELLO, A GOODBYE
A FINISH, A START
EITHER SIDE
OF THE LINE
A PERFECT SKY

WE TURN TOGETHER
WHEN THERE'S TIME
TAKE A LONG LOOK
INSIDE
FIND THE LOVE
THAT YOU CAN'T HIDE
SAME AS ME
WE BOTH CRIED

I CLOSED MY EYES
I DON'T LIKE
AWKWARD GOODBYES
SO STAY
PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY
I BELIEVE IN US
ITS RIGHT HERE INSIDE
YOU WILL FIND
YOUR HEART NEXT TO MINE

HOLD ONTO ME
MY  AIM IS YOU
YOU AND I
COULD REACH THE STARS
SO EASILY
ALL WE NEED TO DO
IS TRY
THE NIGHT FALLING SOFTLY
TO YOU AND I
ALL THESE STARS
A PERFECT SKY

THE MORE I THINK OF YOU
THE MORE I THINK WE CAN 
THE MORE I THINK WE DO

MOONLIGHT AND WHITE



MOONLIGHT AND WHITE
 
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON
 
2019
 
MOONLIGHT AND WHITE
FAR AND WIDE
ITS FREEZING OUTSIDE
STOKE THE FIRE, HUNKER DOWN
DARK EYES DREAM
OF SWEETEST SUN FARAWAY
SAND INSTEAD OF SNOW 
WHERE WARM BREEZES BLOW
I COULD SOON FORGET
THESE DARK
NORTHERN DAYS AND NIGHTS
 THAT LEAVE ME COLD
 
I'M JUST HERE
AGAINST MY OWN ADVICE
I SHOULD OF HEADED SOUTH
INSTEAD OF BEING
STUCK HERE
IN THIS SNOW AND ICE
 
DOWN IN THAT SOUTHERN SUN
HOW COULD A HEART
NOT BE LIGHT
INSTEAD OF A STRUGGLE
JUST TO KEEP UPRIGHT
MAYBE I COULD SLOW DOWN
TAKE MY TIME
TRADE MY SNOW SHOVEL
FOR A FISHING LINE
 
NO ANOTHER STORM WILL DROP
ADD A FEW MORE FEET
TO THE TOP
SOMETIMES ITS JUST
TOO MUCH CHEER
FROZEN FEET AND
 FROZEN BEER
 
I LOOKED UP TO
THE MOUNTAINS
YOU KNOW 
I WATCHED THEM SLIDE 
CLEARED A PATH
A HALF A MILE WIDE
THIS ICE AND SNOW
I DON'T KNOW
IT BRINGS ME DOWN
 
MAYBE I WOULDN'T
CARE SO MUCH
MAYBE I WOULDN'T MIND
IF I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE
I WAS GOING SNOW BLIND
MOONLIGHT AND WHITE
BLUE TO BLACK
ITS A LONG WAY BACK

BEAUTIFUL IN THE SUN


BEAUTIFUL IN THE SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019


DON'T KNOW WHY I CAN'T
SLEEP TONIGHT
TWO AM, AND I'M LOOKING OUT
THE WINDOW
LOOKING FOR THE MOON
BUT ITS NOT THERE
JUST THE CLOUDS
CHASING THE STARS

HEAVENS COLORED BLUE
LEAVES ME THINKING
ABOUT YOU
YOU AND I
DREAMING ALL DAY
A SWEET BREEZE BLOWS
ACROSS THE WATER
IN THE MORNING SUN

THE MAGIC, THE MOMENT
THE TIME, THIS LOVE OF MINE
YOU AND I
CAN MAKE IT REAL
BREATHE LIFE INTO
THESE DREAMS
I CAN SEE, I CAN FEEL
SURE AS DUSK IS DARK
AND DAWN IS LIGHT
NOTHING COMES EASY
EVERYTHING'S A FIGHT
 WE HAVE TO WIN

TAKE THIS FEELING
WEAR IT LIKE A CROWN
WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE
BEAUTIFUL IN THE SUN
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
IT JUST FEELS SO RIGHT
BUT I CAN'T SLEEP TONIGHT 

PUTTING WINGS ON
 THESE DREAMS 
ONE BY ONE
TO SEE THEM FLY
SATISFIED I COUNT THEM
AS THEY GO BY
AS I SIT HERE
MY EYES DARK 
WITH DREAMS 

DRIFTING AWAY
ON A RIVER OF TIME
BEAUTIFUL IN THE SUN
CRYSTAL WATER
UNDER HEAVENS COLORED BLUE
WE'LL MAKE IT LAST
FOREVER YOU AND I
CAN MAKE IT REAL
