Reflections on my most recent song: “Bursting”
I finally wrote a song with words about two or three months ago after struggling for a really long time to commit to a particular idea. Here are the lyrics:
As a child I went out to roam and explore
Took on new inspirations, no fear in my soul
I loved to run and to sing and to dance and to give.
Like so many the years have pressed in on my soul
I have narrowed my vision to what I could hold
On the teaspoon of acceptable practical logical form.I am free now.
I can see now.
It’s the breeze now
From the sea now.
All around me.
Come around me.
Come and hear me.
I have found thee.Lines and measurements, gridlock to life
I am bursting through boundaries just like a knife
An explosion of pent up will and intention and love.
Please open your eyes and open your ears
I really want to calm your fears
Let the love and the light flow full force from within.I am free now.
I can see now.
It’s the breeze now
From the sea now.
All around me
Come around me.
Come and hear me.
I have found thee, I have found thee!
Sometimes when I look at myself and what I have been doing about my own pain and need, I see myself as a psychologically challenged person who is acting out how she needs to. There may be some truth to that point of view. But if I look at that same thing from what I believe to be an even wider perspective, I think that my challenge is a shared challenge. I believe that most of us are in pain and are on a quest for finding peace within and without. Maybe if I share my perspective, however faulty and Suzielike it may be, and share it from as deep a place as I can, maybe I will provide hope and courage to someone else to take a chance also.
I find that as I go along this path that I am following I am meeting some incredible people. Now my challenge is to open myself to learning new things. I have something to say and now that I have said it, it is time for me to listen. Please folks, feel free to contribute your thoughts.
