I turn the dial inside my heart And tune in with my head Sometimes, what I come up with Is White Noise. Foreign, unknown But it still speaks, as a part of me. Other times I pick up on stimulus. Channels of something I relate to. Or things that make me afraid, I fight The fear with sarcasm. That's my way. Like a belligerent DJ, I spew. Censored. There are waves of love, tossed out Daily. But love is a many splendored Thing. Some waves I choose to surf All by myself. Without letting others Tune in and broadcast it wide, imposing. Then there are the reveries, Cycling forward again. A pulse that made It's way back from the classic dead. Just to touch me, to raise the hair In memory. Making me wish for talent. Some channels, hit a nerve, creating A mega hertz of anger. And if I tune in Really strong. I can find the station. I can get it's number. And Voice it. Without having to turn up the volume. But there are the days. That lovely voice, Pure and lucid. The operatic, trilling Of undaunted clarity, sings out. Straight From The Heart. I build antennas to hang on. I will stand out in the rain storm of life. As a lover of the written waves, I hope to Inspire all that tune in. Never trying To insult, intelligence of other beings. I forget sometimes that they may not know How to change the channel. Tune me out. For what I write is on many planes and levels. I can't stay devoted forever to one station. I'm not a die hard fan of any one thing. I Prefer to be on the air, whether beneath or below or right dead center, trying to convey. |
