Within a calling echoes that has laid asleep in peace;
It's pulled at strings of change and heart and truth for its release
There are passions and desires that do urge my hand to more
To step just back a little ways; to find what life is for

Life’s time is ever changing and the drive of once has slowed
I’m looking now for something that will veer me from the road
To find just one thing I enjoy and through it find my soul
And with each step of change and hope, then find what makes me whole

To find a peace in solitude and future in each hand
To find joy in creation as creators understand
To offer maybe insight of what inner eye can see
To offer world of bitterness a joy to set it free

There have been the times of up and down, the torments and reprieve
Times of risk and ponder of which still I can’t believe
The feeling when a week went right, when life it shed no pain
Was years ago, all so far back; few memories just remain

I’ll change my ways tomorrow, I tell myself each day
One day leads to another as tomorrow drifts away
I find myself repeating each fake promise that I make
Watching it just drift away as day again does break

But still a change is coming, as it echo’s I do sense
The calling of fates challenge and its feel of precedence
The person true that’s hiding in this mask that’s known as me
Has decided to begin again and set some passion free

(smiles) Yay, that's the spirit!!! (sigh) I think this is very common, we all tend not to keep our promises and it isn't like we mean to be selfish, it's just our hearts don't seem to feel that epiphany at the moment, but there comes a time when one rises to the occasion and I hope you find great joy from here on in always! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rick, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
