Troubadour

Laughter frozen in time Silent yesterday's trapped inside Whispered dreams aching to be heard Before layers of years and lessons learned Buried the path to the child in my heart. Traveling on a mid-summer breeze A misplaced troubadour With a suitcase of tears Parting mists with gentle hands Beckoning... "Come out and play, before the storm Don't fear the chill Neverending fires are here to warm As the child in my heart Learns to dance with yours" "Greet winds of change with open arms Let it strip you bare Open your eyes as the music swells In every note, I'll be there As your soul's voice awakens There's nowhere to fall Hear the child in your heart Spirit remembers all" The troubadour had traveled on Changing winds have fallen still Suitcase is mine now, gently reminding When times are hard Hold loosely to the truth you've known You'll always find, remembered answers, just in time A voice will whisper... "Come out, come out, come out and play Listen through the joys and tears Through every smile and fading fear Let it bring you home" "Home, to the child in your heart".
