Songbird

{VERSE 1}

Does your songbird sing an empty tune, keeps you from sleep, and you curse up at the moon. Its all been done before, broken records on the floor. You keep trying to find a safe place to close your eyes. Does your song bird sing an empty tune?

.

.

{CHORUS}

Love lost and found, traded for trinkets, glitter and gold, just something tangible to hold. And you whisper to your lover that your cold inside, I'm so cold inside.

.

.

{VERSE 2}

Your smart enough to question but not smart enough to find the answers, life gets faded and your lyrics jaded, you've heard it all before. Your such a skeptic gave up the grip on what you expected from all of the books that clutter your table, And your songbird sings an empty tune.

.

{INSTUMENTAL}

.

.

{VERSE 3}

Your eyes can't see and your heart won't jump, your always waiting for the other shoe to drop. War time mind with peace all around. and you know you feel safer when your down. Its of your own doing, live to fast trying to find your way home. You have nothing sacred wouldn't know it if you did and so your songbird sings an empty tune.

.
.

{CHORUS}

Love lost and found, traded for trinkets, glitter and gold just something tangible to hold. And you whisper to your lover that your cold inside, Im so cold inside.

I am

I am a traveler like you, worn shoes, dusty suitcase swung from my hand.

I am a seeker like you, looking for truth, looking for meaning, hanging on to my name as it points back to my beginning.

I am a lover like you, seeking connection and comfort in an ever changing world, Looking for a forever love in a time bound and mortal body.

I am like you, a child of my mother, I am a daughter of my father, a mother of my children and a student of life's experiences.

I am human like you, sick and healed within flesh and bone, broken by stones, risen from tragedy, fallen from uncertainty, bound by the vines of fear and cut loose by the sharp edge of anger.

Like you I have a soul that was made to grow, to question and resolve that I will never know all the answers.

I am like you a director of intention, mindfully constructed and sent with mission, whether be by prayer or spell, whether be by dream, hope or action. Like your life, my life is a reflection of intention.

Some lessons I have learned....

You have a personal responsibility to yourself and others be the best person you can be in life.

Be real, life can't touch a soul that is not genuine.

Think, question, seek the truth.

Know yourself, the good and the improvable.

Be a positive person for yourself and for the people that you contribute energy to everyday.

If you fall get up before you get comfortable being down. It is easy to become distracted when your feeling low.

Be respectful of the planet that sustains your physical life and encourages your spiritual growth.

If you break it, fix it. Things or feelings.

Don't be afraid to grow in the sunshine of discovery, comfort is often overrated.

See others as fellow travelers, respect their paths and speed of travel, no one is so enlightened as to judge the progress of another soul.

If anyone tells you not to question, question even more. Few choices given is just as bad as no choice at all.

Don't compromise your beliefs for acceptance but never cling so tightly they become a noose.

Let people know you, it is a gift to yourself.

Learn from your blunders and move on, everything is a lesson, everything is an opportunity to grow.

Discomfort of the mind is always a reminder for growth and reflection.

Don't be your past, present or future. Be the student, humble and mindful living in each moment.

Listen, observe, and don't fear silence.

Kindness and compassion will always trump being right.

Love is an action word.

Never make a serious decision when your tired, sick or unbalanced.

Laugh at yourself. Life can be messy.

Never live down to others expectations of you. Some people thrive on others failures.

Take care of your body.

Gratitude should be a natural reflex of your soul, without it the joys of your life will be unrealized.

Genuine love requires a genuine desire to grow with another person. Bad hair days and all.
