You and Me

See me.

Choose me.

Claim me. 

Kiss me.

Taste me.

Take me.

Show me.

Hide me. 

Hold me.

Guide me.

Mend me.

Heal me.

Tell me.

Trust me.

Just me.

Do Over

Let me buy the time back.

Every minute. 

Every moment that I spent with you.

Rob me of my future,

I don’t care. 

I want there.

I deserve a "do over."

Let It Go

Last night,
Stayed awake until I could see daylight
Figuring I could do right
If I could set myself free...

Now,
I'm sitting here with a ticket to nowhere,
Wondering why I still care what you’re thinking of me.

Cut the ties that bind me,
Put the past behind me
And let it go

Wasted time,
Trying to make some sense from disaster
Wishing my life would go faster
.......If I could only believe

Puzzle pieces scrambled
Picture me unravelled
Just let it go

It is what it is.....
So, let it go

Shadow~ Wendy's Tale

Shadow
Frustration mounts as she tries to relate to his shadow once again.
Hollow and unyielding, he darts the truth.
Hope keeps her needle threaded.
Expensive!
Shadows are expensive.
~Wendy

For No Other Reason

Pre-Verse: (Rubato)

Someone may wonder why I say the things I do

Wonder if I’m true

Tell me, do I wonder you?

Don’t let the circumstances change the way you feel

It’s really no big deal-

relax let go____and soon you’ll know

For No Other Reason
Than you want to

For No Other Reason

Than you can

For some silly reason

I might join you there

Let you take me anywhere

For No Other Reason

Than you’re hoping

For No Other Reason

Than... I’m there

Soon we’ll be in the season

Where we’ll know beyond a doubt

That’s___ what this was all about

For No Other Reason

Than love

Instrumental Break

For No Other Reason
Than you want to

For No Other Reason

Than you can

Soon we’ll be in the season

Where we’ll know beyond a doubt

That’s what this was all about

For No Other Reason

For Knowing the Reason

There’s No Other Reason

Than love

You Can’t Shine It

You can see it

You can touch it

Maybe play all night in the dark with it

You can use it to write your letter

You can hope it will make you feel all better

Leave what you have just to be with it,

But, baby, You Can’t Shine It

You can take it

On vacation

You can make it a dinner reservation

Pretend that

It has devotion

Maybe think it’s your special magic potion (Make it think it’s your special magic potion)

You can dance your feet all around it

But, baby, You Can’t Shine It

Instrumental Break

You can spend a

Month of Sundays

Dressing it up in some fancy undies

You can drive it

To Seattle ( all the way to Seattle)

Try to make it think it’s worth the battle

Lookin’ back, I’m sure you’ll regret it

Cause, baby, You Can’t Shine It

Cause, baby,

You Can’t Shine It

I don't know if the world is ready to hear what I have to say!  

With that being said, welcome to the musing's and cruising's of Jennifer Stott Madsen.  All I can say is that if I didn't get a good night's sleep, I can not be held accountable for what I say.  And I allow myself 24 hours to retract what has been posted before you can say, "what was she thinking?" or before it can be added to the list of reasons why I won't be asked to lead the march to heaven.
