Our precious words we lock away
Save them for a rainy day
Imprisoned in our minds they stay
Never to see the light of day
Anxiously they pine away
Falling into disarray
Ideas once bright dimly glow
If only we could let them go
Across blank paper freely flow
Till new dawn the rooster crows
Weaving tales of wondrous lore
Shaking readers to the core
Alas, not yet, it’s far too soon
Maybe come next blue moon

Out on the street in search of me
Who is it I’m supposed to be
Into dark of night
Torn by inner strife
Craving meaning in life
But no answers in sight
Long shadows jumping
Hollow heart thumping
Self-doubt lambasting
Soul fragile from fasting
Voice in my heart
Shouts stop playing this part
Cease senseless searching
Cast off self-made hurting
In plain sight
Concentrate on the light
Residing within
Where it always has been
