So I Will Write You A Song


It’s twenty-five years on
so I’ll write you a song
in lieu of the poem
that long since has gone……….

........I did write the lyrics for a simple country ballad/waltz, which is waiting for the miracle of musical composition...... acoustic guitar, with sounds of yearning mandolin and Dobro steel-resonator. So wait a while and I will share them with you....

However, the following verses came to me at the same time.

Came a message for me
from heaven above
I loved you My Dear
I loved you My Love
you shone in my life
like a blue wren in a nest
you were someone I cherished
like a fabric handbag
always happy to see you
so happy and sad.

Happy because you were warm and sincere
sad because to me it was clear
you were the heart
and you were the soul
you were the one
who helped me feel whole
but I kept you
at a distance my Dear
because of my love
and because of my fear.


I carried the handbag,
the handbag of you
I never had notes
I only had coins.
I’ll pick you a daisy
a daisy a day
I pick you a daisy
until the wind blows away.
If ever the sunshine
ceases to beam
I will bring you a handbag
from a soft velvet ream.


It is just a start of what’s in my heart.


It is golden
it’s yellow
it’s time to be mellow
it’s time to rejoice
you now have a voice.
The voice is yours
it has come up from within
it is time to start
it is time to begin
so here I am
on this cool Summer night
sharing with you
my new found delight
just singing my song
and there will me more
more songs from heart
I will birth from within
and I on the inside
play music and sing.
I need the musician
to bring melodies
to carry the lyrics
like a warm summer breeze.

Invoking The Real Me


My red flower is blooming,
I see it smiling in the sunshine
waltzing in the breeze.
so happy to be itself
while all the while it’s growing,
just being true
all the way through
from petals down to roots
and I delight
to see such bright
evidence of it’s truth.

You see, and so do I
it is a flower in glorious bloom
and it is welcome
to be itself
welcome to truly bloom.

And here am I looking on
and believing that it’s true,
if a flower delights
in being itself
I am sure that I will too.
So here I am
and here I go
and further down the road
I will delight
I’m shining bright
I have un-bundled off my load.

Oh that’s good, oh that’s great
I hear you say to me
but why my dear
did you wait
why did you wait to see.

As you are light
the time is right
so waltz along my dear,
smile and dance,
entice romance
and enjoy a bright new year.

Be a flower in your life,
be a petal soft
be a girl
who loves to whirl
and twinkle in the night.
Oh be yourself,
you take the leap,
come out from hiding there,
dress in colour,
glide along,
keep on singing
now share your song.
Yes we see
and so do you
with bright new bloom
you have come to be
the self that’s true
Hello to ME!!
