Flow

Sunlight came through my window to wake me today
Making me rise early sending' me on my way
Giving the world More lyrics to say
Why wouldn't the sunshine just let me be
Now what plans does the universe have for me
Outside my window stands a solemn tree

How I wish I was like that quiet Sentinel
Quiet and Serene and far less mental
These words they cloud my mind endlessly
They spill out to a page relentlessly

From the sunshine and my warm bed
Coffee and food fill me but not my head
It's still full of all the words yet unsaid
Such as these words that now flow forth
They come on abundant with such Force
Good or bad I have no remorse

I do not control these words that come at all
Out of my mind's eye they tumble and fall
They keep flowing they never seem to stall
The world around me grows colder everyday
yet my mind is still as strong in every way
This is my legacy these words I must now say

The sun rose bright and early today
Its rays creeping through my window to chase the night away
It beckoned me to rise and greet the new day
But I lay in bed, wishing for just one more hour of rest

The world outside my window is alive with activity
But I am content to stay here, in my solitude and tranquility
For outside my window stands a solemn tree
A sentinel of peace, standing tall and proud, so serene

I long to be like that tree, quiet and still
My mind not plagued by the constant chatter and shrill
But alas, my mind is a swirling storm of thoughts and words
They spill out onto the page, relentless and unending

I rise and make my way to the kitchen
Coffee and food fill my body, but not my head
For it is still full of the words that have yet to be said
These words that flow forth, abundant and with force

I have no control over them, they come and go as they please
Tumbling out of my mind's eye, like a waterfall in the breeze
But I do not regret them, for they are my legacy
My words, my thoughts, my very being

As the world around me grows colder, I find solace in the warmth of my words
For they are my strength, my light in the darkness
And I will let them flow, endlessly and endlessly
For this is my purpose, my reason for being
