Cleaning Out My Soul

 Falling
like a leaf
from it's tree
carried by the breeze
from side to side
slowly
gently
falling deeper
down, down, down
into my mind... 

Thoughts they wander
without wings
Like a whisper longs to sing
Truth so plenty
left to find
Somewhere hidden in my mind 

Memories forgotten
like a present left unpacked
What's inside?
My fear perhaps
or all my love instead 

Do I store it safely?
so that I cannot get hurt
Wrapped in fear,
& sealed with lies
covered up with all this dirt 

The leaf has reached the surface
and now
touching ground below
I'm looking back
at tears I shed
I'm cleaning out my soul 

Looking back
at tears I shed
I'm cleaning out my soul 

Looking back
at tears I shed
Cleaning out my soul... 

Rising 
like a star
in the sky
born into the light
like dynamite
ra-di-a-ting
lu-mi-na-ting
love, love, love
into the night...
