A Burning Seed

“A Burning Seed”

Surrounded by love, By I still cant move.

My vinyl is spinning, Without the needle in the groove.

My thoughts and passions burn without a chance of escape,

Overwhelmed with chains I fear will never break.

I want to stand tall and burst into sprint. . .

But reality dawns like a permanent splint.

Sunshine is irrelevant, Contentment seems so far,

Always being pipped at the post, Or putting it over the bar.

I see success around me every single day,

My only peace and sanity when I hear my children play.

Their my only thread of platinum in a cosmos made of coal,

There strength, Courage, And happiness will remain my only goal.
