"continuation" - Monday, May 09, 2005

once upon a time ago,
when i was not so old you know,
i found that things were simple true,
and nothing was discovered new,

for everything that i have learned,
with bruises i have dearly earned,
i know that i will always stand,
because my strength and helping hand,

before when i would meet someone,
i'd wonder if its go or come,
and now i know that waiting for,
is generally a decision poor,

because those that are true of heart,
are spoken clear and clean of start,
and never lead you by the nose,
with fancy talk and hidden prose,

of course i've learned this for myself,
that heart and love is all the wealth,
that i will choose in my short life,
to free myself from fright and strife,

so now again i move along,
toward the hall with brightened song,
and into light as sure i go,
to what lays there, i cannot know,

but that's okay because in this,
i will be eyes wide opened bliss,
to see the gifts still yet to come,
as providence and choice the sum,

to wait until its gifted me,
and choose to follow it as free,
i'll never be so caught and bound,
by rules and status quo - a hound,

for freedom comes from deep within,
and peace and love to me begin,
toward all those that come to know,
the truth that i have given so.

(15 seconds to write this, can you tell?)
