clarity . . .

[Bill]

clarity . . .

i gave all that i had
put my pen to the pad
as i awaited the speaking of ink
my attitude ‘twas terse
as i awaited the verse
that brought forth that divine link

there was something inside
to not be defied
for my soul is now awoken
so if “you” dear pen will not write
about my inner light
then i guess this verse must be spoken

so i will speak you a word
you never have heard
about what is new under the Sun
so please hold on tight
as i speak of my night
and my quest to express what is one

so when my inner and outer
makes me a doubter
forward i must continue to press
for i am still seeking more
as i open this door
and i shall accept nothing less

so now here do i sit
and i will not quit
as i listen for the words to come
in the distant soul’s quiet
one can not defy it
the beating of one’s own drum

so i’ll give all i have
my soul’s healing salve
and no stone shall be left unturned
i’m seeking the dark night
that i may bring forth my light
to find what i’ve always yearned

clarity . . .
