Anywhere Is – by Enya

I walk the ways of moments
But everywhere I turn to
Begins a new beginning
But never find a finish
I walk to the horizon
And there I find another
It all seems so surprising
And then I find that I know

You go there you’re gone forever
I go there I lose my way
We stay here we’re not together
Anywhere is

The moon upon the ocean
Is swept around in motion
But without ever knowing
The reason for its flowing
In motion on the ocean
The moon still keeps on moving
The waves still keep on waving
And I still keep on going

You go there you’re gone forever
I go there I lose my way
We stay here we’re not together
Anywhere is

I wonder if the star sign
The life that is to be mine
And would they let their life shine
Enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens
But night has clouded over
No spark of constellation
No Vela no Orion

The shell upon the warm sand
Have taken from their own lands
The echo of their story
But all I hear are low sounds
As pillow words are weaving
And willow waves are leaving
But should I be believing
That I am only dreaming

You go there you’re gone forever
I go there I’ll lose my way
If we stay here we’re not together
Anywhere is

To leave the thread of all time
And let it make a dark line
In hopes that I can still find
The way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
Begin a new beginning
Still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
It’s either this or that way
It’s one way or the other
It should be one direction
It could be on reflection
The turn I have just taken
The turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end.



About me: I am a free verse writer…I write with no rules. A way to express whatever I’m feeling, thinking with no boundaries.

I am an earthy type person…at least that is what I have been told and I guess I would have to agree. I have uniqueness about my personality which I cherish…I guess that is what makes me….me!

I have been through a lot in my life…happiness….pain…been burned….all a learning part as I see it. I’ve grown from each step that I have encountered. Nothing really shocks me…I’ve either experienced it….seen it…or felt it. And I think that makes me a stronger person through the walks of this life.

My gift I believe that God has given me is writing….even though I may not have always written the way he intended….I do know that is one of my gifts. And I try to do the best I can in his eyes.

My smartness may not come from technology, or the progressive way this world is heading. But it does come from people….from their ways of life, their thinking, their action, their personality, and all I have encountered into each individual I have met. I see the world of its goodness and its ugliness. It brings happiness to me and also sadness.

I have a lot of interest that intrigues me….music is part of my life…it fills me beyond expression….I even enjoy writing lyrics now and then. Other things that interest me is cooking, volleyball, theater plays, Michigan Renaissance (going to that festival is like going back in time), fitness, dancing, singing, Ireland (even though I am not part Irish…my son’s are…and I’ve always been intrigued by that), drums (they are my favorite instruments….I plan on one day learning to play). I’ve been taking Belly Dancing Class this last couple months….I totally love it! It is an awesome experience for a woman.

I am a very young at heart person….I relate to all ages. I believe that is another gift I was given.

I prefer honest comments on my writing….feel free to express what you read…even if you see things different then what I have expressed in my writing…that is okay with me….if it touched you or caught you in a different way….then I believe that is what was meant to happen.
