twisting and turning tandem through the night
not a word spoken lights green and red
hanging on minute by minute until at last
hunger breaks in the early morning fog
silent screams shatter the hourglass
why must I care
fever flows in my veins burning deep inside
do you understand what I need
why are you here
living in vain even when I pray
what makes you believe
you can change anything
where is love, there is love, where is love, there is love
can you really change, can you change anything
where is love, there is love, show me love
losing and learning lessons loath exile
argue fair warning laws black and white
tempting fate verdict by verdict without appeal
suddenly question every sane motive
sober steps stagger the high court
why must I care
between rage and virtue there’s a better you
keep body and soul together
why are you here
untie the shroud of your guilt and doubt
you will know in time
you can change anything
there is love, where is love, there is love, where is love
you can really change, you can change anything
there is love, where is love, show you love
grace is speaking, are you listening
the world breaks everyone you’re not the only one
you get another chance even when you backslide
grace is speaking, are you listening
tears change your destiny reclaim your dignity
the longer you wait is just one more day denied
grace is speaking, are you listening
grace is speaking, are you listening
grace is speaking, are you listening
grace is speaking, are you listening

I have been away from blog for weeks now, returning to read such a piercing and engaging post from you has made a way to my heart. As always, you write so lyrically and the fragments of your heart much appreciated. keep shining, my dear mate. cheers.
Thanks, Shaheen! Glad to welcome you back and with something a bit different. Cheers!
You have such a gift of crafting poetry/lyrics. You are a true wordsmith. And you use this power to elevate, enlighten. I am truly impressed.
I feel honored by your kind opinion of my work, Sarah Jane! I believe we are given our gifts to be used and shared in positive ways. Regardless of disposition and action, every person deserves the dignity of being human. Yet many people forget this, either in how they view others or how they think of themselves, especially in our modern age of hyper media and pseudo reality.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
PS: I would be remiss to omit the fact that I have significantly benefited from the unselfish and wise influence of some very special people who helped shape both my perspective and my skill sets. Perhaps the best form of gratitude is to use these gifts well.
