New Song New Start

A New Song a New Start written by Magneeta Sojourner As the day and weeks ran behind me looking for the truth no answers to my questions though I’d sifted though it all Breaking from the silence when nothing else would call heard the echo of voices banging in my ears No one can hear what is not spoken out aloud No one knows it”s raining without walking outside I’d hoped it would happen not happen like its happened before only leave without knocking destiny is a thing not seen even if its standing at the door brush aside the doubting and get up off the floor the road you’ve been travelin has become a joyless sight seeing ride becoming our weight dead end one way street looking for a exit cause the gas is running low don’t want be stranded In this god forsaken one man rider broken pathway hole trouble lights a flashing out a s.o.s pulled off to refer to a torn and crumpled map can’t make out the letters So.... I’ll have to take it on faith next stop will be the one so this trip will be over getting past pulling up the hidden four leaf clovers dotted in diamond drops of water where the world reflects back at me instilled the lost innocence firing as thunder clap cannons into morning light cut a new horizon I found my shadow there on the ground stretched out in mile long outline Inside my mind the sound of music replacing missing notes that opened up engulfed my fear to find my eyes in rescued peace unfurling
