The Soul's Prerogative
dreamless sleeping
tearless weeping
body argues with soul
cannot control
the thoughts within
they toss and turn
never ceasing
the endless song of confusion
where will my hopes lead?
can i ever regain stability?
spiraling 'round and 'round
games we play, so dumbfound
let me free from chaos
i want to obey my soul,
to sleep and dream,
to weep and stream
no more animosity, i wish
my goal, my heart set on
dancing with inhibitions none
smiling forever beneath the sun
what arms can do, cannot compare
what soul believes, legs do not dare
but hopes prevail and someday
i'll fly and in my mind's eye
finally just Be.
