the way life is........................ Ed Burn
Nothing Begins Without a Dream
I dream of freedom
Yet I want to be loved
Those who claim to love me
wish to take away my freedom
If I refuse they withhold their love
It is a catch 22 that is tearing me apart
Is there really no true friendship between a man and a woman?
Was it really meant to be this way or
is this a condition known only to Americans?
I don't want to possess anyone
To stifle another beings goals, emotions, desires
Let us be free together
Free to come togehter as one yet separate
I cannot be possessed....
Only you know what is in your own head and heart
It is not to be caged or set apart
To be packaged like some saleable commodity
Why the struggle?
Must I choose to be alone in order to be free?
I have never really known freedom but now that I do
It is something I cannot take for granted
Quite solitude is beautiful when it is created by choice
Choice...what a beautiful word
I never really had choice in my life
I am now free to create...art...beauty
My life for me has just begun
Be my friend...there is no joy without friendship
Art and beauty is nothing if not shared with friends
We are at a crossing point, a time of fear of the unknown
We see carnage on TV, we have become desentisized and afraid
Afraid of death because we see it happening
but choose not to have a hand in controlling it
It is happening to other peoples children on other shores
I believe these deaths bring angry spirits to our space
In a world already filled with angry spirits
Each of us should choose to console a spirit
Let them in, comfort them
Tell them they did not go unnoticed
They mattered, not only to their loved ones
but to mankind because they are/were part of our global
family
Once we begin to see it this way we know where we fit it...
