Still

Stillness surrounds
the sound of my thoughts reverberate
My destiny is beckoning
and like a child in a play
A note in an unchained melody
I'm lost on an empty stage
Just another child in a broadway play


A tear stain
that never fades
Imperfection graces my role
like a child in a broadway play
lost on an empty stage
I'm a girl trying to learn how to sing
A soul
awaiting it's unchained melody
Hoping someday it might be sung back to me


the poet
she stands and courageously reads
evoking emotions that had been hidden away
hibernating in the deepest caves of your very being
As the spirit entwines itself around our broken hearts
so have the words she speaks
a beautiful vine of prose flowing off of her tongue

A tear stain
that never fades
Imperfection graces my role
like a child in a broadway play
lost on an empty stage
I'm a girl trying to learn how to sing
A soul
awaiting it's unchained melody
Hoping someday it might be sung back to me

My words are few
but they are enflamed with passion
Simple,
like a daisy growing in a field
budding forth through cracks,
your broken dreams have left
Resounding like echoes of hopes unfulfilled yet

The gentle breeze blows
A tear stain
that never fades
Imperfection graces my role
like a child in a broadway play
lost on an empty stage
I'm a girl trying to learn how to sing
A soul
awaiting it's unchained melody.....
