Out of the cocoon
Into the light
Free at last
Butterfly flight
Out of the cocoon
And into a jar
Out of the cocoon
But didn’t get far

Cover me in words that sing
I have no need for love that binds
When I need to fly
Speak to me with gentle wing
Let your rhythm lift my soul
Kiss me with your spirit
Let me breathe

I think I have found an App now, that will let me write the notes and play back to me.
A long tedious job if ever ther was one.
Maybe just the chords then!

Is she being led by others
or just wandering free?
Is she being controlled
Or is that the way she sees it – or the way she wants to be?
Is she blaming others for her lack of decision
Lack of direction
Is she struggling for independence
Or afraid to put down roots?
Not knowing what she really wants
She drifts.
middle bit…..
“There’s a magic in my heart
That says that freedom is my goal
I am not lost I’m just a wand Ring soul – –
But loneliness and tumbling grass
Comes at a cost And though I roam
I realise at last –
This cycle of my life must pass
And I must find my own way home”

From “Suddenly Awake”
You stood naked
While you waited…..
And while you ached inside
You washed yourself and dried
And found somewhere to hide
The towel and the nightdress
From “Stress”
Thoughts jump in panic
Heart beat quickens
But outwardly the body
Repeats expected tasks
And soldiers on
….Words plucked from ends of nerves
whistle round and through
never touching, never uttered
By the outward senses….
From “Circles”
….And yes, I love the life that I have now
But not the speed with which it seems to go
Without me even moving, doing nothing, day by day
The world that spins ignores me, as if it doesn’t know
