For the singers battling their own voices – here is a Saturday Post!
Go hard after it
Whatever it is
That one thing
Learn that lesson
Lose that weight
That one thing
For me
It has always been
To freely sing
But I am learning how
And I will now
Do that one thing
Sometimes too big
Out of control
A cannon ring
Sometimes weak
Cracked and raw
Songs in a sling
I’ve given it up
I’ve gotten it back
It’s a trick on string
I scream notes
I cry music
Give it wings
I go hard
To learn and be
God-help-me-ing
My voice is mine
I’ll die for it
My life to bring
My poetry – my alter
I leave it here
I’m promising
To use my voice
No matter the cost
For truth-telling
Go hard after it
Whatever it is
That one thing
Follow that dreamscape
Or escape the dream
Do that one thing
With words, song & prayer,
TiMo
