SET IT FREE

"Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free."  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

A LITTLE BIT OF ME

I can't help but try and ponder

  as I trace my dream

Are the lines on my paper

  really what they seem

The lines are there for all to see

  they try and tell my mind

But when the others look at them
  I wonder what they find

I see the colors there on the page
  they seem so bright and clear
But maybe I'm the only one
  that's my real fear

Do the others really understand

  the shapes seem bold and fair

Maybe they can't comprehend

  or worst they may not care

The things that touch me oh so deep

  are there in black and white

I've put it down for all to find

  It's right there in plain sight

From these works and all I give

  you'll find the real me

All the things that mean so much

  please take some time to see
