Do not stare at the anymore
the light cannot help again
I fell to my knees once for you
and the pain is all I remember
You change you hair and clothes
but the simpliest form of smile remains
It keeps me singing to the clouds
as I wonder where I have been.

Do not stare at the stars up above
they cannot tell you which way to turn
Live your life as you would want
but remebering how you loved before
Listen to the sounds of your soul
and linger softly upon the memories
Then take the next way around
let your eyes open up to a new way.

Do not stand with your feet planted
let the wind take your heart away
Let yourself flow over the earth
over oceans that cleanse all your pain
Let your mind loose and explode
with the power you have within you
Open up your arms to hold
your new life of warmth and pleasure.

You have such a beautiful heart Michael

That's the spirit

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Good for You!  People don't change on the inside as easily I am afriad, as they do on the outside.  In my experience, if they hurt you once, they will do it again because they really never changed at all.

Love,
Me

It is a blessing to have wings for words and passion in pen.

Just as people change, so too do we change because of change.  Well done.

Thank you.
