Transposed Smiles

I wonder what would happen if we swapped
Our smiles for a day, like trading clothes
Or switching seats, or swapping books we dropped
On the library floor, among the rows.

Would I feel lighter with your cheerful grin
That always seems to brighten up the room?
Would you feel wiser with my thoughtful chin
That often rests upon my hand in gloom?

Or would we miss our own familiar curves
That we have grown accustomed to and love?
The ones that match our moods, our nerves, our verve
The ones that fit us like a tailored glove.

Perhaps we should not tamper with our faces
But keep our smiles in their proper places.

Transposed Smiles

Sunrise over Kingston
The golden fire's ignition
Hope burns through the haze
Lighting up the broken days....

Sunrise Over Kingston

Every day is a fresh start, Sunrise beatin’ on my heart, Wash away the troubles, let them part, Jah light guide me from the dark....

Every Day Is a Fresh Start

Shine on, tomorrow, don’t you hide away, Love is the reason we can find our way, Every little moment’s like a song we play, Shine on, tomorrow, shine on today....

Shine On, Tomorrow

There is no time left, can’t you see? The fire’s burnin’ down the mystery, There is no time left, don’t delay, The night is callin’, gotta ride away....

There Is No Time Left

Strange things are happening, The ground is shaking under me, Strange things are happening, But love’s the only remedy....

Strange Things Are Happening

Get back outside to some snow playing, so much fun, Building castles, snowball battles, chasing everyone. Sliding down the hillside, racing with the sun, Get back outside to some snow playing, so much fun....

❄️ Get Back Outside To Some Snow Playing, So Much Fun ❄️

 I’m just a country song boy, with a six‑string in my hand, Singing ‘bout heartache, hope, and this land. From the porch to the barroom, my voice is my joy, Nothing fancy ‘bout me — just a country song boy....

🎶 Just A Country Song Boy 🎶

This is my love song of winter, Where the frozen sky turns blue. Through the storm, our hearts remember, Every road will lead to you. Seasons fade, but I’ll surrender, To this love song of winter, true....

Love Song of Winter

Now I see, the light behind the rain,  
Every shadow’s dancing to a sweet refrain.  
Now I know, the way it’s meant to be,  
Love was blind, but now I see....

🎼 Now I See

Horizons beyond…  
Horizons beyond…  
We are the echoes of light  
We are the shadows of sound....

Horizons Beyond
