Conversation Pieces [Nutshell]

Conversation pieces patching smoky screens
Across the silent spaces hanging in between
Crossed lines on the telephone, you overheard
Pretending not to listen
But hearing every word
Lives laid on the tabletop for all to see
The superficial counterpane of make believe
Bottles standing empty now reflect the face
Of lives filled up with broken dreams
And empty space.

Moonshine on the water, as the ship comes in
The light upon our faces, revealing everything
Where has all the love gone Lord
Is it too late now to start
Or can your love reach tired spirits
And broken hearts.

Father you can see your children turn away
And leave you waiting open armed
Day after day
I wish that I knew better
How to show them where you are
To talk of love is easy
But to love is very hard
To sing of love is easy
But to love is very hard.


Moonshine on the water, as the ship comes in
The light upon our faces, revealing everything
We've forgotten how to love Lord
But it's not too late to start
For your love saves tired spirits
And broken hearts
Your love saves tired spirits
And broken hearts.

Act II

No, it's not popcorn...

My second "official" act under my resolution was to purchase a notebook -- I'm keeping a log of the things that I do for a whole week, so as to better be aware of the activities that I spend my time on. By Saturday, I will have a week's worth of notes, which I will then review and see what needs to be changed, added, or removed from my life.

Also, I would like to know, along the same lines as I asked regarding Facebook: For those of you who talk to me online, what has my conversation been on instant messenger (whether it is Facebook chat or MSN Messenger)? Am I really being useful, or do I just make interesting conversation? Do I "provoke to love and good works," or do I talk about whatever is interesting at the moment?
