My Irrepressible Spirit

My irrepressible spirit
I make noise so that you might hear it
But it is in silence that it’s clear
The sounds that are so near
To nothing they barely exist
And there are people I can’t resist
As they move and sashay
Why do you think he looked at me that way
Am I just a free lover out to get my kicks
Or is there something deeper to it
As I share a moment held aloft
And I find ways to dust myself off
When I fail inevitably
But I’m not one for the revelry
My heart is all in my soul
And it’s only my body getting old
As I turn the thirties around
Do you think I could find solid ground
To be the earth beneath my feet
Am I a delta where the waters meet
And do you know exactly what you are
I don’t so I rely on a star
To shine like I think I do
I don’t know what I see in you
But it is unavoidably cool
I just wanted to say that you rule!
And she would have loved that the light that you shine
I hope I can show her the moments you were mine
Even if only for a very short time
Now she is part of the light sublime
And I talk to her in a candle flame
And though it’s not the same
I can feel her near to me
And her irrepressibility
She woulda loved to see me with you
I always knew she wanted me to
Find someone that feels just right
I wonder if she hears me at night
Talking about the ones I love
Now that she is above
And that she knows what it is to fly
I sometimes reminded of the sky
When I think of how freedom sounds
And I know they are always around
And I think I have found
Solid ground so that another round
Of cycles won’t pull me in
And I was just in love with him
Now it’s wearing off as I see
Everything as divinity
Everything clothed by the Creator’s hand
It whispers that it’ll all be grand
