Free

In my heart, there is a bird
An eagle, a falcon that soars
She's wild and strong,
And nothing can tame her

Yet, hold out the seed
In your hopeful palm
She'll live with a foot in two worlds
Returning to your hand at dawn
Escaping to the air at night

This seed a treasure forbidden
That gives her guilty pleasure
A haven and safety and rest
No longer does she hunt to survive

Each time she returns, you cage her
In hopes that one day she will never leave
Each day she stays longer
Yet her heart grows more frightened

In it she sees the wild and trees
The air, the sky, the clouds
She cannot stay where her heart is not
She loves you, but do you love her?

It's the prime of her life
Her wings long to stretch
Soar and hunt again
Truly her heart is Wild, but Tame is claiming it

Set her free while you can
Each day that passes by
It poisons her thoughts and weighs her down
So she cannot take flight

Some day she will be tame
Is that what you want?
Her spirit will no longer be free
The light in her eyes will fade

Do not cry to many tears
Some day she may return
When the wild has finally burst from her chest
She'll love you again, as she always has
For the moment, let her free

Seasons Are Blue

Spring
The grass is green
The sun is yellow
The flowers are orange and pink and purple
The sky is blue

Summer
The leaves are green
The apples are red
Ice cream is brown and peach and white
The sky is still blue

Autumn
The ground is soft
The trees are solid
The leaves are crisp and crunchy and flat
The sky is blue

Winter
The trees are bare
The air is frosty
The snow is fluffy and cold and wet
The sky is still blue

The sky is blue
The ocean is blue
The eath is topaz and emerald and gold
The sky is still blue

The World's Toll

I look outside, the sky is gray
I wish that you were here today.
The wind is cold, the trees are bare
I breathe in dank and heavy air.

I miss you dear, your gentle touch
You helped me up and now as such:
The world is silent, there is no sound
Evil and darkness now abound.

I miss your warmth, your soft caress
The way you bring me happiness.
I miss your songs, your lovely voice
You never even had a choice.

The world is cruel, it took its toll
Where my heart was, there's now a hole.
I know you're happy, I hear your tune
I know that I will see you soon.

I miss you Aunt D, I love you forever.

Darkness Vs. Lightness

Darkness
I knew
I felt
I was

Lightness
I know
I feel
I am

Ray of Light

I could see nothing but dark, the walls pressed in, the air was tight
The pain was dull and ached, no relieving and all shadows
I knew nothing, I saw nothing
I was nothing
Nothing in the world but dark

Now I can see something of light, the strength flows in, the warmth is sure
The joy is bright and clear, no repressing and all good
I know something, I see something
I am something
Something in the world called light
