Welcome to my journey

Such a peaceful morning

With the sun glowing bright

Dew drying on the leaves from yesterdays gloomy light

Something so uncertain about the tree that’s fallen in the yard

Something about the cycle of life has meaning to my soul

Each fallen tree symbolizes a fallen dream

One that I gave up or maybe you too let fall asleep

Tragically as one soul falls another does as well

It’s as though we’re all tied together through one invisible string

Although I can’t feel what you feel

I feel what’s inside of me

And the two can often intertwine if you’re listening

You’ll hear the drops of dew drying and creating a new morning

You’ll see the same sun rise just as I do

But every night as the moon sets

You’ll remember I’m not with you.

Now I rise and fall asleep knowing I am safe

I feel whole as I awake and go sit on my wooden swing

Back and forth I rock along to the beat of my new drum

Every thought is full of gratitude because it’s no longer dependent on you

I’m free to live in solemn and dignified health

I’m free to act as I see fit without the control of an ungodly man

I’m living in a paradise full of love and joy that brings tears to my eyes

Nothing so beautiful did I ever dream was possible

But now I swing in silence writing my hopes and dreams

Creating new wishes that you can’t stomp on when I’m weak

Now I swing along to the creaking of the wood

I hear the cars passing with such an endless rush

But at the same time the birds are chirping in the distance

Squirrels are climbing up the trees

And colored leaves cover the ground

What a beautiful scenery that I can’t take for granted

I’m inviting all that’s good and beneficial while claiming abundance for myself
