Sing Your Song

words go down on paper

Ideas rush through minds

Love steals hearts

And men and women continue on

A blue bird flies by

Chasing a cardinal

The songs they sing

intertwine to make beauty

The artists mind wanders 

His body ages

His love of life fades

but he still puts pen to paper

I wonder 

but have yet to wander

I aspire 

but have yet to inspire

Doubts cripple strong men

But determination carries us through

The cardinal sings a song of love

The blue bird sings one of sadness

And I sit 

pen in hand

paper on desk

and words in my heart
