Free Your Heart
You smile at me while your heart
escapes into another world
imagination is your friend and you
wonder when it will end
this place no one sees and makes
you feel like you have never died
Like the dancer who walks
across the room and looks in your eyes
And searches your soul like
you never seen before
you dont want her to leave but she’s
already moved on to another soul
she says we knew each other long ago
and I’m never really gone
like wind that comes and goes
I can see you but I don't know who you are
and what your soul mean to me
in this place we share
where angels sing songs when you sleep
because they love you
and guide to the place you thought you could go back to
only to find its not there anymore
this place you where you dream every night
and think of love and the weekend outings
Believing your soul is lost in this world
and never knowing when your home
like the poets lost dream, never finding it again
because inspiration comes around only once
when its gone you wonder what happened
and why cant I get it back
Like the horse running in the field for first time
he knows its special but not until it’s over
so I paint pictures of what I want and hope
I don't go into a corner and never come out
and stand in the doorway watching people come and go
waiting to join them
with my heart free
