A Flutter In My Soul One Day
A flutter in my soul one day wanted to be heard.
It made me want to play with words so I could help it fly.
In freeing it, I helped it sing like a lovely bird.
It wanted then to soar. One can’t keep a songbird from the sky!
It made me want to play with words so I could help it fly.
To give it wing, I added grace of rhythm and of rhyme.
It wanted then to soar. One can’t keep a songbird from the sky!
Alliteration lifted it and made its flight sublime.
To give it wing, I added grace of rhythm and of rhyme.
Bright it was! Lucidity it had been given too.
Alliteration lifted it and made its flight sublime.
Hard I thought about what I wanted it to do.
Bright it was! Lucidity it had been given too.
Which sentiments or thoughts of mine would my poem show?
Hard I thought about what I wanted it to do.
Would it fly in a rain of tears or in sunshine’s glow?
Which sentiments or thoughts of mine would my poem show?
In freeing it, I helped it sing like a lovely bird.
Would it fly in a rain of tears or in sunshine’s glow?
A flutter in my soul one day wanted to be heard.
