Introspection
A friend once called me shallow
And those words cut deep to the core
But maybe they are right, I do not question
I do not question life or even death
I care about the environment but not to the extreme
I accept what is, and how changing things can be
I do agonize for the world, and do what I can
To lift the human spirit and offer dreams and hope
To write music and hear my own orchestra play
To write love songs, and to tell stories in musical form
To try and uplift the human heart, out of deep despair
The mind that delves deeper has always attracted me
Whose imagination flies in so many directions
Seeking answers and always stimulating thought
I find so exciting, challenging, and offers me inspiration
I have known death, pain, agony and human destruction
Where the spirit is stifled, and all is a screaming silent cry inside
This moment is my joy, this moment is my happiness
I fly where I never ever dreamed to dream
And I have been made whole again, and I feel beautiful!
