The End of Me

There are pieces I haven't yet shown. You see,
you hear, you taste, you sense... but is it real?
This is definitely not the end of me.

As the water gets immersed in soothing tea,
I hope your heart gets immersed in sound and feel.
There are pieces I haven't yet shown, you see.

And I will tend to these words that long to be,
as a blacksmith polishes bronze and steel.
In a lonely bliss, just my own thoughts and me.

I uncage these birds, let them fly and be free;
soar into cotton clouds and skies of teal,
yeah, watch 'em fly from sea to shining sea.

Climbing these peaks with bent back and broken knee;
still stealing every sight there is to steal.
This is definitely not the end of me.

I believe true beauty is never easy,
I may not win, but I will always deal.
For there are pieces I haven't yet shown, you see.
I'll give it all I got until the end of me.

I liked this one a lot! I'm almost getting the feeling that your finally letting loose and saying what you are thinking, and that you aren't finished yet! I'm glad, never stop writing what you feel! :)

Though everything you said is true it's also written to encourage me when I'm on writer's block... LOL! Ideas and thoughts will come soon enough... just give it time.
