What does she need to say?
What wants to come out and play?
What coiling message waits
To spring forth,
Crying for the light of day?

What does she need to say?
What wants to come out and play?
What coiling message waits
To spring forth,
Crying for the light of day?

Her message thwarted
And contorted
By the twisting and turning
Of time
Why can’t she have more
How does she keep time
While her heart settles
The score

They tried to take her joy
But with one palm against her chest
And one to the front
She was a force
Her bare palm a barrier
A message loud and clear
This day, this heart
Is mine
And mine alone
Always looking for the waves
To tell us something
In their secret language so rich and deep
It can only be deciphered by sun on skin
When their only real job
Is to wash away the clutter
At the shores of our mind
And what comes today?
What comes into the heart
And opens up the way?
What voices speak the loudest,
Which bring the message clear,
And which ones are ignored
In a steady state of fear,
Sureness of their untruths
The indecision of the mind
To follow with the heart
Where minds dare not align
To the domain of the soul,
Where potential turns absolute
And the field of possibility
Is all that we impute
For our awareness in this place
Where one may know the sooths
With which human minds struggle
Their secrets carried off in truth
Or come today, buried deep,
Carried for eternity,
Held in the soul song’s keep
