Now I'm As Free As A Bird


Now I'm As Free As A Bird

***

Shared my world with you
Didn't play no games 
My love was real
You didn't feel the same

Looking down on the earth
I see endless pain
Lovers tearing themselves apart
Driving each other insane

Now I'm as free as a bird
Can you feel it
I'm as free as a bird

I was honest with my words
Didn't give up on you
When I said I loved you
My words were true

Looking down on the earth
I see endless pain
Lovers tearing themselves apart
Driving each other insane

Now I'm as free as a bird
Can you feel it
I'm as free as a bird

You'd broke my heart 
I forgave you every time
You keep pulling me down 
For no reason or rhyme

Looking down on the earth
I see endless pain
Lovers tearing themselves apart
Driving each other insane

Now I'm as free as a bird
Can you feel it
I'm as free as a bird

I cared for you when sick 
Held you when you were blue
Now when I'm down and out
You tell me we're through 

Looking down on the earth
I see endless pain
Lovers tearing themselves apart
Driving each other insane

Now I'm as free as a bird
Can you feel it
I'm as free as a bird

Couldn't you see my hurt
I was drowning in the sea
Our love it bled out
Falling of the leaves

Looking down on the earth
I see endless pain
Lovers tearing themselves apart
Driving each other insane

Now I'm as free as a bird
Can you feel it
I'm as free as a bird

I tried to make it work
My efforts were in vain 
Our love and broken dreams
All went down the drain 

Looking down on the earth
I see endless pain
Lovers tearing themselves apart
Driving each other insane

Now I'm as free as a bird
Can you feel it
I'm as free as a bird

I'm gonna soar and glide
In skies far off and blue
I'm finally breaking free
Saying goodbye to you 

Looking down on the earth
I see endless pain
Lovers tearing themselves apart
Driving each other insane

Now I'm as free as a bird
Can you feel it
I'm as free as a bird

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
