There are days when quiet is fine
And the voices need rest
But sometimes I have to search
For the one that makes it right
In my plight to express.

The multi-faceted voices within me
Compete for the stage
I long for an Operatic symphony
From time to time
The long notes holding up the house
And shattering the hurt

However my roots hold country twangs
And bang deliberate drums
In honesty
Picking the grin homegrown within me
Clearly ringing the bell within the valley

As I ride the tide in various style
I am not above contemporary
The saws-all of methods done before
And twittered into something recognizable
Testing new sound
Giving ground to unique

But then there are days when nothing
Nothing
Will express my undress
In revealing of the soul
As only one could hit such notes
And make you feel it in your bones
Aching from the inside out.
Give me her voice in my words
Give me her strength to bend backwards
All things that obstacle my vision
Give me Aretha

Regina - You have such a wonderful talent for developing a theme and bringing it to a strong, clean close. I love that in you.
