Unfinished

Drawn to the colours in a rainbow
Listening to the beats of my heart
Wasting each day as it passes me by
Wishing for freedom from this dark
Dreams are caught by the catcher overhead
On they float upwards into circles above the bed
Melted in the sunlight the bad ones take flight
The good ones tell stories which encourage me to fight
Onward and upward as my world begins to spin
Coming suddenly to realise just how bad it's been

Come Back Love, Come Back Heart

I long to feel
Something more
Something real
Deep down inside
Something fights
Something hides
Why is it hard
Just to be
Who I am
Say Goodbye
To the tears
To the struggle
To the fears
Lay my head on the pillow
See the clouds passing by
Having peace in my heart
In my soul
Asking why
Why not let go
Just let go
And then see
What arises from within
Could it be there beneath
Did a thief
Take my heart
It was brief
And I saw it
Is it there
Does it care
That I miss what it gives
To my world
To my friends
Make amends
Come back love
Come back heart
There is nothing to fear
Come back love
Come back heart
Come back soon do you hear

Including Me

I borrowed courage, took some heart,
From someone else who looked the part,
And it's not real, although I feel that I am strong,
How long before it all goes wrong ?
I'll find MY courage and MY heart,
No need to chase, I'll state my case and move on in,
To claim my prize, Only the wise,
Will see the door, in the centre of the floor,
How many times have I walked past,
Cos life was moving way too fast,
Just slow down and I can see,
It's for us all,
Including me.

Not Afraid

Do I love,
Can I love,
Is it really possible to love,
To love enough,
Let in that stuff,
Be there to say,
You do your worst,
I'm not afraid,
Of night, nor day
Nor love

It Will Be What It Will Be

Chanting, calling,
Feel a falling,
In my heart,
I'm blown apart,
By something new
Something fresh to,
Touch my senses,
Where the beat is,
Right there waiting,
Swerving, swaying,
Breath obeying,
Let it be,
For it will be,
What it will be.
