It never comes easy But now… It doesn’t come at all It weighs a ton… This block Should I just lay my neck upon it ? Already beheaded… I still await execution Criminals on the row get theirs… Where's mine ? Just once more For my passions sake The crops are dying There’s a cronic shortage here Native roots… Move my legs Make me sing Bring on the thoughts And quench this spell Deliver me From this wordless hell There must be some kinda way out of here... say the joker to the thief There's to much confusion, I can't get no relief - Hendrix |

Beautiful FreeByrd, like the line 'already beheaded, still I await execution'. Let your native roots bring you peace, allow you to song always and fly when you need to. (HUGS)  Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. ~Isis~ (Sovereign of the Spirit) |

DITTO ^^^^^^. On what they both said. I took "Already beheaded" as meaning a mind already used up. Well done. "Write down what you say if what you say is not written down" (Bojopy) |

Beautiful and moving. I too have gone through a stage like this before, and I thought I would never get out, but I gave it time and sometimes frustrating patience and I was delivered from "the wordless hell". Thank you for sharing. Heather M. |
