Free Bird

Blazing fire,  running water Spring and fall Night and day Different universes The gun spit its bullets While the books chimed in Pot and booze stank the room While incense and soft bells danced around Deep inside herself she found peace He kept his compass and ruler Though time is an illusion of everything material She’s in a hurry to enlightenment No silence can break her will No noisy crowd can pull her down She’s a force of nature Water married wind And the tempest began Now her destiny will be fulfilled No more suffering, too much to be done Guiding light blowing the wind Flowing water driving her within Be brave, be bold, said the poet Now she says, be still, be tranquil Trust the spirit that guided you here Let the consuming fire die without the air Painlessly, effortlessly, naturally And the water will flow again

Wind whirling the leaves  around the grass That’s how I used to be So much force and energy, all for nothing It took a storm to get the wind blowing in one direction Celestial drain Heart beating Mind swirling Senses alive again Look around, there’s destruction No more make believe No more fear of showing your true self Look down, debries scathered on the floor Fighting’s over, no more guns Breathe the fresh morning air Warriors are down, death fills the air Inspire the new dawn of age Weapons laid down Foes and fools surrendered You can’t let me down  If I don’t expect anything from you That power is mine The presence of my self The glory of victory The secret of a game turner There it goes, the wind Where will it lead you? No one knows where it comes from Or where it goes  Join the adventure of life

Just breathe Walls closing in Darkness inside Changing seasons Darkest night Just breathe Look inside Hold your stone Blow out a gush of air Watch the blue sky with your mind's eye Just breathe The air cleaning the vultures away Wiping clean the negativity Expire the dark smoke Just keep breathing And someday you'll open your eyes And notice you don't have to remind yourself To breathe anymore

Purple colors blind my view I feel the vortex pulling me up I close my eyes and let go Feeling the kiss of love Sensation ceased Opening my eyes I realize I'm floating in the blue sky A sea of tranquility I let you go, yes I let you go I'm gonna miss you, I know But you gave me my freedom I'm gonna give you yours
