Free Bird

Averted eyes, judgmental hearts Distrust and anger, cold inside Fear, worry, isolation, world outside Self focus, loneliness, strange paradox Mockingbird, fly high towards compassion Butterfly, turn fear into trust Dandelion, spread inner strength Wind, blow scorching hot breezes Open up, affectionate hearts Acknowledge our human bond Smile, speak with warmth Trance broken, relieved eyes  Deep diving into your soul I spread the love bottled inside Pouring it all out of my essence No barriers, no hiding Come, lonely one Joy, love, life, trust What's mine it's yours to share Breath me inside as if I'm your air

Licked up by the wind Your body's purified All bad omens gone All bad dreams blown away It's time for a new beginning Buried in the past are all things gone Feel the now, for that's all there is Know yourself, what ticks you Define your goals, your challenges, make plans Be content with the now though Cherish the seconds you're alive Let life flow through you Now your shell's your prize Your heart, your treasure Your mind, your weapon Your life, yours to rule

Purpose, my search A flower, life only a breath away Not even full of colors, just plain yellow No pretty petals to inspire envy Just a dandelion A waste of energy, creation force Existing without meaning So brief, so delicate No fruits, no special beauty Wind came, blew the seeds away From the white puff, bits and pieces unattached Taking away the whole Leaving me naked Reason, passion, my search Seeds spread over the fields Each one blown away, freedom found Change began, energy ran deep Each seed charmed into a mockingbird Life renewed, purpose found Wind guide me home, keep your oath Teach me my way into eternity
