Inspiration

The words they flow
From where...who knows?

From despair comes inspiration
From aloneness...imagination
From the boredom...I can travel
Deep inside me to unravel.

From my longings words will flow
All the craziness will show
Dark and light will be undone
Show me, show me...I won’t run.


 
 
Come join me now
To write my song
We’ll cry a bit
And laugh a lot

Yes it will hurt
No doubt of that
But we’ll step up
‘Cause we’re at bat

I know it’s there
‘Cause I’m inspired
To free us all
Of what we tire

One tear that drops
Show me the way
To joy’s front door
Let us go play

The door’s ajar
I’ve peeked inside
We’ll like it lots
Let’s take the ride

The truth it frees
Your heart and mine
Come with me please
It’s home we’ll find

No guilt or shame
Will find us there
It’s just the game
Do not despair

My path is this
And I’m brand new
I’ll free your heart
And mine too!

The Dove 

Anger, Anger go away
Give me peace, so I can stay
It hurts my heart, and others too
It’s time to heal, this is so true
Rage and venom give me vest
So I can......become my best
Fury, Fury don’t come here
Leave my soul so I can clear.

It shows up when I lease expect
An ugly face from my neglect

   I rant......I rave
   I cry........I moan

I pray, "oh please...leave me alone"

I long to walk my path with love
   I can do this
   I am the Dove.
