You come to me

Like a river flowing at my feet
Like the reunion with a father
I never could meet
You come to me
You come to me
Like a kind smile never seen before
Like a cool new present
You have always wished for
You come to me
You come to me
Like a soft falling rain
Slowly lifting away my pain
Helping me to see
You come to me

Pebbles In My Head

Pebbles in my head
Fading really slowly
Mists that rise with love
Sorrow leaves us lowly

Clouds of Gray

Clouds of Gray

I was missing you
I was missing me
I searched for real
And found fantasy
Life is hard
And life is light
Sometimes joy
Sometimes fright
I heard you sing
And change the clouds of gray
I heard you sing
Creating my sunny day
I can tell you've got it down
When your smile lightens my frown
You've always known  we can't control destiny
But you control you
And I control me
So I thank you for helping me see
Our clouds of gray
To help lead us to being free

Rachel Wicks

Attracted to Spirit

Attracted to Spirit
Every ones ugly
Just as every one is beautiful
There are no comparisons
The body's a sewer
Attractive only by the glowing life
of the spirit
But once the spirit goes
All the drooling and admiration
that went into the body goes
To leaving  us to wonder
When did our object of attention
Become this
A pile of flesh, blood, pus
snot, urine,  crap
How sad for all the human race
To be so attracted to sewers
Or so they think

Rachel Wicks



attracted to spirit ... beautiful ... human race .. smile .. sunshine  morning  afternoon night ...
joy life song creature ... water voice soft whisper ... road trip glamour star .. heal time bottle ..
everyone knows I must leave for awhile.. but believe me I will not go .... time  Rachel Wicks

Beyond the Stars

Beyond the Stars
I search behind the mountains

I search below the sea

I search beyond the stars

And when I found ever clear

It was much more than far away

It was right here

But  still I search

Beyond the stars

Below the sea

Behind the mountains

For what's already right inside of me

Rachel Wicks

Sunshiny Day

 

Sunshiny Day

Rest
Resting peacefully
Cold faintly lingers
As the soft warmth flows over my face
The wind sends song in breezes
Causing tingles in my fingers
Closing my eyes
I arrive in a beautiful place
To match the gentle feeling
Of the soothing air
Sweetly whisking  through my hair
the grass tickling my toes
The whispers floating in my ear
While being carried away
Into the atmosphere

Rachel Wicks

Sparkles in the Sky

 

Sparkles in the Sky

Sparkles in the sky
Beautiful and light
Sparkles in the sky
A breathtaking sight
Sparkles in the sky
I look up to see you
Twinkling among your many friends
Creating a gigantic picture show
Where the universe bends
I wonder why you were appointed
our wish granter
Silencing the world's banter
The world's banter
In a peaceful quiet rest
Yet with a mysterious adventure
Vanishing away
Into a fleeting dream

Rachel Wicks

TIME

 

TIME
Time can heal or pour salt on an open wound.
Time can steal away.
You can't hold it in a bottle
or sit it on a shelf,
and it always seems to be
looking out for someone else.
Always preoccupied with
Not making it, in on
Forever running out of
Lullaby, Lullaby, Remember those days.
Remember the times, When life was all
mommy, daddy and nursery rhymes.
Whether it was three o clock or one
That never stopped you from
having fun. Time along time.
Long goodbyes are for anyone who'd
rather be saying "hello".
Time flies when you're having fun
and I guess its time for me to go.
But, I don't wanna go No
I don't wanna go.   Not  just yet.
Time can heal or pour salt on an open wound.
Time can steal ... away.   Time's a long, long time.
Since it never really goes away.
Time for some is insignificant disclosure.
Time .. no body's found a cure.
Always preoccupied with ... Never making it,  in on
Forever running out of
Lullaby.   Remember the days
Remember those times ... When life was all
mommy, daddy, and nursery rhymes.
Whether it was five o clock or three
it never stopped you from feeling free.
Time's along time ... Since it never really goes away.
Don't you say good bye to me,
cause long good byes are for anyone who would
rather be saying "Hello".   My good bye's so long.
I just don't wanna go.
Because long good bye's are for anyone
who'd rather be saying "hello" .
Everyone knows I must leave for awhile.
But,  believe me ... I won't go ... Time

MEANINGLESS SMILE

MEANINGLESS SMILE

I woke up to the punch line of my joke
The sunshine of my morning, afternoon, and night
The joy of my life
I arise .. my feet feel light
I lift my hands
Don't know what else to do
I just hope you feel this love for you
This song is for all you people
every creature too, why not?
Don't wave by these little things
you don't know how much you've got
Because that meaningless smile is so much
when you've lost touch
Wading in water, drinking sand
reach out your hand
One " I love you" won't tip the world's scale
But I can't see, how it could fail
I woke up to the soft whisper
in my cracking voice
I heard the good in a decision
to a difficult choice
Kinda bittersweet
But don't lose touch
Because one more meaningless smile
is so much
I can still see you taking my hand
When we took a little road trip
The journey scraped
The journey soothed
But the roads still firm
and the road is smooth
Strong, so we can stand on
You weren't a glamour star
with a set agenda
One less frown in this crowd
Always festive, not so proud
What a friend, the sweet in bittersweet
Showing that meaningless smile
meaning so much

Rachel Wicks

Ecstatic

But , sadness turns to many sorrows.  Pulling in all the pain, as I cry out.  In my life is there nothing more to gain. 

There is nothing more.  But, loss and trials, a voice inside say's.  One thought leads upon another.  Adding

more and more troubles.  Trying to sleep at night.  Through all my minds madness.  Trying to put my mind

at ease.  Trying to find my gladness .  Joy is loss.  It feels  like forever.  Tears come pouring slowly down. 

 Falling to the cold hardened ground.  I receive a hug and a gentle touch.  Meaning more than any word that

could be spoken.  Even though it may not sound like very much.  Always remember  sadness may come

someday .  But, will eventually fly away.  In it's place joy will come and it will stay ....   Rachel Wicks

Ecstatic


Peace shines from my eyes
Joy escapes my lips
Love abides in my heart
Song rises up from my soul
Laughter leaps off my tongue
Do you know what  I am
I am in a good mood
And I am feeling great

Silhouettes of Glory

Silhouettes  of  Glory

Silhouettes of glory
In awe we watched on
Loving your story
Of shining love
It's still there
It's still there
It's still there
And in one
Hold hands once again
Hold on, don't let go
Silhouettes of glory
Sweet and serene
The same as you've seen
You'll see
Your life together hasn't even begun
Yet people keep crying
It's not fair
It's not fair
It's not fair
But it's done
I hear a silence in
Silhouettes of glory
I don't know what you believe
But I'm praying you'll receive
Silhouettes of grace
Wipe the tears from your face
Yes, distance is hard and sorrow seems long
When you know all the lyrics
But you're blocked from your song
Memories of silhouettes live on
Your shining love's not gone
It's still there
It's still there
It's still there
And in one
It's still there
It's still there
It's still there
And in one just hold on
To silhouettes of grace

Beautiful Feeling

Beautiful Feelings
You brought me to this enchanted place
With beautiful feelings
You kissed the tear drops
Off my hardened face
With beautiful feelings
And you said.. come follow me
Leave the heavy weights behind and
Come with me
Flying to be free .. Singing as we go
In life you never know
The mysteries that could come
But don't worry about solving them now
Let us go fly and be free
Listen for a moment to me
Resistance is futile
Watch you will smile .. with my
laughter .. my joy .. my song
Your soul will soften before to long
By natural instinct we live in emotions
Don't be afraid to show yourself
We landed in a garden .. made of soft breezes
and streams ..  Dew covered meadows
Smiles and day dreams
In our presence we see a sweet glorious
Lily
With beautiful feelings
Flying to be free
Rachel Wicks

Look Out

Look Out

Look out .. what is this
What is this all about
You can't sleep at night
You may not take it light
But please tell me
What's this all about
Your life is blown away
In just a fraction of a day
You beg .. you plead
For it to stay
It doesn't matter any way
All your memories
Consist of frailties
Wrapped in a scream
And a shout
Look out

Rachel Wicks

ISN'T IT GREAT

 

ISN'T IT GREAT

See that hardened expression
looks like its been there awhile
The stone grooved depression
weighing her down for a smile
and I wonder ..doesn't she know that she's free
Why don't we tell her between you and me
Life's not that hard, just be
Doesn't she know that she's free
I haven't the slightest her name
I'm sure of her un fame
But I don't feel the same
as a stranger
And I wonder
Doesn't she know that she's free
Why don't we tell her between you and me
Life can be easy, just be
Don't you know you're free
I'm not sure why it matters to me
But I can feel your pain
It's just so plain to see
Life's not all you wished today
So I pray
this too will pass
Next time I see you
my heart grows in joy
your spirit is smiley
so isn't it great
Isn't it great to be free
Between you and me
I like it better smiley

Power of Mind

 

Power of Mind

With my eyes I only see
Pictures of reality
That soon just fade away
With my mind
I have visions of my choice
That can come about
In the dark of night
Or in the light of day

A LARGER WORLD

A LARGER WORLD

I feel a freedom
that only comes from kindness
A dance of joy
feels like flying
Like everyone whispering ... love
in the wind
and the wind rushes through
And your world
is a little larger today
And these strangers
have all become one in friendship
As they lay
connecting with each sun ray
Our world becomes a little larger today
Let your world become a little larger
Greet the sky with a smile
more lovely than the sun
This is freedom
that only comes from kindness

Rachel Wicks

I see the sight of the bright light.  My body sinks to weak.  Now the choice is in my hands. 
Of brilliant gratitude.  Or negative and bleak.  There's a rush of pain. 
When I consider the possibility of my own form of tragedy.
Fulfilling it's part in my life.  I look to you.  You turn my eyes and I become thankful ,
the sight didn't seize me.  I squish my past sorrow and worries of tomorrow.
 Letting the presence fill my heart with glee ...  Rachel Wicks

Minds of our Own

Minds of our Own

More love and individuality
What we need in every nationality
This I wish with great zeal
As I am told just how I should feel
People like to boss others around
Is what it seems
I enjoy having my own mind
With many wild thoughts and dreams
So quit trying to change or
Compromise or
Make some kind of deal
Then maybe...
All our lives will be more fun
And a little less
Surreal

Rachel Wicks

I have skipped out of this dimensions reality as no one knows it
I enjoy having my own mind .. with many wild thoughts and dreams
I see the sight of the bright light .... fulfilling it's part in my life
Make sure you listen to the right music .. Wear the right clothes
Make sure to be happy if someone gives you a rose
Use something .. then ditch it any where
It doesn't matter .. all it is a meaningless creation
While other people think .. environmental
Knock some sense into this nation
I have skipped out of this dimensions reality
As no one knows it..

Rachel Wicks

One of No Identity

One of No Identity

I walk the streets
No identity do I bare
Nor does any one really care
My smiles never ending
So why not
I shall share
If with one ..  with all
Big and small
Everyone deserves simple
Kindness
And anyone can give
Kindness
Even me who is
One of no identity

Rachel Wicks
 

Finally Free

Finally Free

Lost in all your worry
Slowing  down
No rush .. no hurry
Seeing clear
Not blurry
Never a need for
Anxiety
To your locked door
You have found
The key
Living in real love
As you'll be
Is free

Rachel Wicks

Today's Love

Today's Love

Lend me an ear
Kiss away my tear
Love is today
Not just yester year

A Walk in the Sand

A Walk in the Sand

I went for a walk on the sand
Waiting for my thoughts
To come back
To our planet and land
Though no one
In my sight
A peaceful presence
I do sense
With the suns rising
Pours in the light
Loves possibilities
Immense

WORDLESS POETRY

WORDLESS   POETRY

I don't  know what to say
I haven't the words left in me
So I'll play you my wordless poetry
I've said all I should
And I've done all I could
And I haven't the words left in me
So I'll take what is left and
Give it to you
My wordless poetry

 Rachel Wicks

ONE LINE

ONE LINE

One line changes it all
One line holds all the meaning
The one line .. I do
Makes one out of two
One line
On your mark is anxious
Get set and go
Are the words a runner
Waits to hear
And .. I'm sorry  is pleasing
To a sympathy needing ear
One line says it all
Strange how my words
Take so long
 Come out all wrong
Even when I know
Something direct can
Change everything
Maybe that's why
 God speaks in such few
Well .. I love you

Broke down Palace

Broke down Palace

If I knew things would be this way
I might have done some things
Differently ... and I wonder if I am
Another person,  who am I with you
And does she sing
Welcome to my broke down palace
Where crystal chains offer little solace
When fear of freedom
Becomes too much to bear
I feel just like a child as you
Stroke my hair
And I'm waiting for the sun to come up
And I'm waiting for the sun to go down
I'm waiting just to wait
Just one question
When am I living
I could ask the experts
But does anybody know
I could ask the experts
But where do I go
When all the experts decide
To disappear simultaneously
I do know what you mean to me
And I suppose destiny could be even
Nice to me.  Still I wonder if I am another
Person,  who am I with you
Welcome to my broke down palace
Where I'm everything you never expected
Me to be ... and where the love lasts longer than
Your attention span ... and it's dark so you
Can't use sight to judge a man
Still it's hard to read between the lines
Sometimes ... and I'm bonded to you
I'm bonded to you ...

 ~ song by ...  Rachel Wicks

Her Blue Nails

Her Blue Nails

Off she sails to chill in the
Village of the whales
A mystery land
A wondrous place
With blue nails
And a smiling face
She faces adventure
Every day
Dancing and laughing
In a fanciful way
Each night the horizon
Is her view
An off shade of lime
Quite a bright hue
But no where near the
Brightness of her
Blue nails
That she wears as
She sails
With a smiling face
Searching for grace
In the village of
The whales

Rachel Wicks

Flying Fast

Flying fast

It's flying by fast and hard
Duck
I forgot again and let it hit
Why can't I leave you behind
I'm not addicted, I just won't quit
I insist on finding something
Where I say nothing is there
Proving once again
Life on earth makes no sense
and is never just quite fair
So I'll turn to my true resource
Gods one and only prayer,
not much help .. but truly enough
Who simply wants me to figure it out
So I can say beyond a shadow of doubt
What I need and what is true
Though I've always known its you
My subconscious  can't stop
from searching out there
          
Rachel Wicks

Truly Beautiful

Truly Beautiful

Subconscious judgments cause us to fall
And to make something out of something
That's truly nothing at all
My lips are too big
My butts to small
We really shouldn't care
About looks at all
Superficialities
Push us further from realities
My life is over
For my nose sticks up
My ears point out
And the thing with breast size
What's that all about
What is all this nonsense
It's no big deal
Others opinions don't matter
It's all in how you feel
Four eyes and freckles
To big or to tall
Stop worrying over appearance
The importance of it is
So very small
Maybe we will take off
Our opaque glasses
And see past our jars of clay
Maybe.. just maybe
On some fine wondrous day
You're beautiful just as
You are
You're beautiful
Truly beautiful
Simply beautiful

THE TIP OF MY SHOE

THE TIP OF MY SHOE

I'm so sick of football
Never ending
I can't stand the wait
I wish you would call me
But you're always too late
The excitement wears off
and everything turns out differently
I know you're just perfect
But what's wrong with me
I'm just gliding along
Just gliding along
Gliding along in the echo of the wind
you'll hear me playing ... a song
I'm too caught up in things concrete
But, I won't be staying long
The world is a lonely place
staring at the tip of my shoe
So I think I'll free my feet
I'm just gliding along
I'm just gliding along
gliding along in the echo of the wind
You'll hear me playing .... my song
Hey grandma, if you only knew
how much I talked about you
Love story, oh don't I wish it was true
No falsies
Just another shoulder pad incident
and the world is a lonely place
staring at the tip of my shoe
So I think I'll free my feet
Been too caught up in things concrete
So the world became a lonely place
Staring at the tip of my shoe
So I freed my feet
What nice little feet God gave me
Thank you
Never ending, never ending

ART SHOW

ART SHOW
 

306 S.W.
We dubbed each other the best
Anything else to come
was simply the rest
359
Can't believe you were mine
and the rest was always just numbers
306 Southwest 64th
Oklahoma City
73109
I was feeling fine
When you said I was pretty
You smiled sweet through your sadness
Before I was gone
and the art show went on
210 Brook View
You didn't know what to do
and I just happen to hit on what to say
Besides countless times you've wrote me
on just the perfect day
You smiled sweet through your sadness
Before I was gone
and the Art show went on
Throw me from the dock
on that memorable walk
You listened to me
and the rest is always just talk
You smiled so sweet through your sadness
Before I was gone
and the Art show went on
and the Art show goes on
   Rachel Wicks

You Come to Me

You come to me

Like a river flowing at my feet
Like the reunion with a father
I never could meet
You come to me
You come to me
Like a kind smile never seen before
Like a cool new present
You have always wished for
You come to me
You come to me
Like a soft falling rain
Slowly lifting away my pain
Helping me to see
You come to me
 Rachel Wicks

I CAN FLY ! Ha ha ha

I CAN FLY ! Ha ha ha

With a leap I soar forever with hope
But truly only a second
Before I come crashing down
In a rush against the wind
And all things natural
This collision creates friction internally
My heart feels like a pounding hammer
Against my chest
Continuing on through my head and brain
The holder of food
Resting in my middle
Turns and swirls
Until it has moved into my neck
All is erratic
All is quick slow motion
Torn in two
I believe I could do something
But nothing happens
For there is nothing I can do
But await my fate
Which happens sooner
Than I could ever expect
I collide abruptly
In the meeting of my final destination the ground
The impact is hard
Causing a wave of uncertainty and dizziness
I begin to run
There is no time to waste
I must tell everyone
How I can fly
