Reflections

Thoughts unbidden come to mind
When I reflect upon the day
Feelings new and strange I find
Whence they come I cannot say

When I reflect upon the day
My musings manifest as sounds
Whence they come I cannot say
A chorus of my love abounds

My musings manifest as sounds
The melody of living
A chorus of my love abounds
By the practice of forgiving

The melody of living
In a composition whole
By the practice of forgiving
As I seek within my soul

In a composition whole
Feelings new and strange I find
As I seek within my soul
Thoughts unbidden come to mind
