SPOKEN WORD
I’ll sing or I’ll die
Floating on a rainbow
Aspiring to capture the sky
And roll with the rhythms of life
Shhhh, Listen to what I say
Silence whispers profound meaning
And stillness delivers one accord
From my lips to your ears
Flows the voice of my heart
Are you clear enough to see
Are you deep enough to believe
in what I feel, to hear what I say?
Will I sing or cry
When I express the pain
That has passed me by
And give praise to the sublime healing of time?
For don’t take offense
When the truth makes sense
Rather, let’s be in sync to think
Watch my words take flight
and journey to a paradise
As our wits meet,
and our concepts greet
we’ll commence to soar
as we get high on conversation.
