Cavalier, mischievous am I
who, with my rebellious bent
flaunt my freedom, yes, I despise
the status quo, with a great
distaste for the all the rules.
To keep the letter of the law
is oh so boring, oh so dull.
It stifles creativity and expression
what use is it, say I?
My careless ways have seemed
to catch up with me, of late.
What a haphazard life I lead!
So many of life's decisions
turn out to be mistakes
tossed and turned about
by my myopic eye.
I must admit, things have not
gone so well, I stumble and I fall.
This monster of wanting
my own way has gotten
out of hand, I say.
To where shall I go to
turn the tide, make a break
fling off this crucible of pride?
I fall down on my knees
and repent, my sins spill out
before the throne of God
I'm spent.
Sweet comfort, for He forgives
He picks me up, helps me to live
the way that I was meant to be
for Him, not only just for me.

Violins play sympathy spicatto
Upon my tender mercies
As strings in conspiracy
Are rising up, against the bow
Hearts pierced and bleeding out
Unforgiven memories, from a distance off
And the haunting melodies wash
In lost emotions of an ebb and flow
Further waves of symphony traverse upon this fragile human soul
Thus, to purify a conscience never quite clear
As healing harps pleading, remembrance
For dreams that echo now, out of long ago
And arrows of adaigetto fling off
"En masse" of chills that touch
I can't help surrender, but
Give in, to the depths of my very soul!
And I weep…
Stains upon my cheeks
Of passions, acceso
And its deepest throes
As fermatta trembles...
Out of my own fainted breath
And an espirando carries...
with it, a renaissance
That edifies the whole
The tears now vapors, gone and aloft
Unto ovations of grandiso
And my heart skips
Beating out its own applause
So moving was the masterpiece
Of sonata amoroso

Are you feeling befuddled,
or slightly bemuddled?
Does it feel like you’re standing in a dark gooey puddle?
Leap out of that hole,
and fling off your boots!
Climb up that tree,
and gobble down fruits.
I see you there smiling,
perched way up high,
free as a bird,
bright sun in the sky.
