something stirs within my soul
may these words bely their toll
as my mind dares imagine
what was and what could have been

I wonder are you sitting there
a secret within your stare
asking why within your brain
why no one understands your pain

might I hold you with this rhyme
comfort you for a brief time
find the strength to reach inside
and share the pain so long denied

rage aloud for all to hear
dare to confront corrupt fear
trust one moment more to see
love alone will set you free

no matter what others say
not psalm nor sin nor passion play
can bring truth closer to release
let a free heart embrace peace

he did not take it all away
let hope forgive fate yesterday
let go the condemned company
let love, re-born, compel you free

if nothing else,
then talk to me

ric

* something stirs inside of me *
