I am a wildflower
Though I’ve tried not to be
I’ve tried to grow straighter
And properly be
I’ve lived through storms and I’ve lived through drought.
There have been times when I’ve wanted out.
But I’m rooted here deeply, this is my place.
The rain at my back and the sun in my face.
I know who I am and I stand proud and tall.
My bright colours glistening as I sway in the fall.
I am a wildflower
Though I’ve tried not to be
A garden flower’s life is just not for me
My roots are deeper
And my soul is more free
I can’t be your perfect flower
I have to be me

You promised if I sat that a story would come – the truth. That it would be unveiled to me through myself if I just trusted and disengaged for a moment.
Well I’m here and I’m waiting, please speak.
I am infinite sadness and infinite joy rolled together in an unending spiral of pain and love and life and misery. Needing one, to have the other. I will not stop spiraling until I’m done. Your choice is to come with me or to resist me, to accept me or to fight me. Whatever you chose to do it will not change the journey, it will just colour how you see it, how you feel it, how you live it.
Your instinct is to run, until you are free but you can never be free, not really. Staying and accepting feels crushing, depressing, unending but if you could just embrace it would it really be that bad? To surrender yourself to the truth of your life and to live it, afraid but unafraid in your truth? You are trapped, but only by yourself, set yourself free by letting yourself just be.
You are human.

Is this really a quality I possess?
Or a choice I may select?
It feels as though I'll annihilate every chance I have of touching it.
As though I don't believe in it at all.
I don't think I do.
Because if I did I would accept happiness,
Embrace it.
Instead of constantly seeking proof that it doesn't exist.

First the wave falls
Even and Rhythmic
But slowly, overtime,
It grows, cosmic
Influences pull it
and rise it high
It grows strong
But knows not why
It looses itself
To nature's touch
Its rhythm distorted
Its force too much
But time heals all
And sense will recall
Returning the sea
To its natural rise and fall

Here’s what I think we should do.
I’ve so many ideas and I know you do too.
So why don’t we combine them? Come with me.
I’m sure we’ll find them.
I know, we’ve both known all along.
You can find all truth with just one song.
So write you Silly Billy. Do!
Write for me. It’s right for you.
You know that you’ve a truth to tell.
Not one to learn but one to expel.
You’ve learned what you need to know.
The next step is to let it go.
Do it now and do it well.
As well you know that not doing it is hell
This is you.
This is your life.
Go.
Write.
It’ll all be alright!

A wave will roll and roll again
It does not wait for love or men.
It is as it is, wild and free,
Untameable just like you and me.
A wave is strong and true and real,
It cannot stop, it can't but feel.
We too are strong and true and real,
We cannot stop, we can't but feel.
Though oft weighed down with the heft of life
We will roll on, defeat our strife.
Again and again we must feel our pain,
Live our lives, feel insane
Like the wave, we make our own way
In our chosen direction, it's all okay
You see there's no wrong or right,
Black or white, good or *****
It is what it is, like it or not,
It's not who you know or what you've got
It's all about you and the wave in your soul
Who knows where it's going, who tries to cajole;
Your practical, logical, stoic old mind
Laps at its ankles, dares it to find;
It's reason, its purpose, it's meaning on earth
Your life's own truth from the moment of birth
It's in you, it is you, believe it or not,
Jump into to the wave, live what you've got.
It will not be perfect or easy, that's true,
But it is what you make it, it's all down to you
So stop sitting and wondering, with your feet the sand,
Stand up, step forward, reach out your hand
Grab hold of that wave and follow it's course,
At the end what you'll find, without any force;
Is your truth, your wisdom, your beauty, just you
Start swimming your soul, your wonder is true.

There’s a force of nature inside of me
Bursting through my being
Willing to be free
It has been building all of my life
It hasn’t stopped fighting
Through good or through strife
I feel it is time now, or even beyond it,
For this force to break through me
To be given life and to live it
I pray to the Universe for this to take place
To aid in this rising
To strength, freedom and grace
But as I pray, I know the reality
If I’m not active in this
Then I’m my own casualty
This force I am and this I will be
Like an untamed wind
Running wild and free
Truth in my soul and wind in my sail
Whatever comes at me
I know I’ll prevail
What is inside me is honest and true
So fly free inner nature
I will follow you

A life is woven from minuets and years
Disasters and celebrations
Laughter and tears
Everything has it’s place in a lifetime tale
When it’s good, when it’s bad
When you triumph or fail
All of these moments make your story your own
Your own personal tapestry
Your life alone
So go out and weave it, tell your story to all
Whether or not it’s all possible
Is completely your call

Now and then the light shines through
Breathing fresh air and life anew
Strong and bright and full of hope
Granting reprieve and time to cope
It's then we know and understand
All that's real and not just planned
Illuminating faith in troubled souls
Growing young not growing old
The sun clears troubles, heartache and pain
Free yourself from your internal rain
Raise your face to greet the sky
Feel the warmth and with love cry
And smile and breath and love and be
The sun glistens with the truth in me
Trust it, feel and accept it all
And with this in heart and mind and soul
We will be and that is all

I wander deep
On the margins
To where I knew I was,
I am
No longer longing to be,
My hopes have been realised
In me,
I am
All revealed was always there
Now I can,
Now I will,
Now, I am
