symphony in my mind

as the road of life is trod upon

visions and dreams and hopes are born

.

life is but a symphony

we live it out with dignity

.

in hopes of nations in the future

will sing the songs of yester-years

.

as now the symphony in my mind

the strums of chords and riffs they bind

.

the lyrics of hems and haws i once knew

are now in words bound in faith's sinew

.

i stand with pride and axe in hand

hoping their ears to me they lend

.

i throw the symphony to the crowd

and hope my axe will make a sound

.

i hope it leaves a deeper mark

etched deep into the hearts, oh hark

.

that in the course of this short play

my penny's worth of gifts display

.

but alas i've not found my tune in perfection

to finally bring this symphony to fruition

will i finally know my reason?
