Quests For Serenity.....

writersu

I was feeling really small in my existance
And your presence so intrigued my weary eyes
My own life was begging for my acceptance
But my demons kept on hindering my tries.

I was awestruck because your words came from a place
Where I've also delved much deeper than the rest
The ghosts and memories we must all face
Can get in the way of all which we are blessed.

Your voice it screams out strong where mine can be weak
Though I know of all the places one can hide
Inspired by our truths we find are unique
The truths that keep ourselves so strong inside.

I had wonderded how it'd be to really meet you
I had speculated you'd be really real
Just to catch a minute glimpse of your view
Would be enough for my hunger just to steal.

But I realized your need for some blending
Hero worship's such a f---ed up thing
People twist the messages you're sending
"hey all I ever wanted was to sing!".

Well I see we're all ruled by the same atmospheres
Our clouds are no more the matter; grey
We all hold in high regards our own fears
I know no one really gets away.

Still I thank you for being our soldier
In matters we just seem to have no voice
After all the shit they feed us sees its way clear
We rise up and see we always have a choice.

I'll close now by wishing you the depth of peace
That the scars have made way for in their war
So that the soul's battering can release
The serenity you've dreamt of long before.............

but I think you wrote it for a lot more people besides him. Whether you meant to or not, I won't dare to question. I'll just say that I really felt that poem. It hit home. It said everything I cannot say. So, um....thank you, is all I can say.

For saying it, exactly that way.

Yeah, I did after the show in Chicago at Soldier Field. I think that he just seems so real and I actually got inspired to keep writing after I thought that his songs are really poems put to a song. I can't sing though and am not musically talented......
Thanks for the complement. I really am glad that it came across as deep and not corny.....

Thanx for sharing that with the group. I found it to be very intense & it had a whole other meaning for me. It's great that you can always be surprised at how many different ways people can relate to something that you write. I've written things & had others see so many different dimensions to it. That is the beauty of art. I thank ya for sharing that bit of beauty with me.
