TED Cast Tether a Soul
One can't tether a soul
Or capture a cloud whole
A bird in flight on air lifted wings
Cannot be grounded by mans guaranties
A fleeting thought has but one opportunity
A chance to be immortality saved
It passes through you once on its endless quest
To have its desire to be written quenched
A bird in flight on air lifted wings
Cannot be grounded by mans guaranties
What flows through me with no opportune
And fails to stick and make hearts swoon
Will chance itself on the next lucky soul
Who takes time to breath in its passionate moral
A bird in flight on air lifted wings
Cannot be grounded by mans guaranties
For souls can't be tethered and clouds captured whole
But inspiration is gifted by genies let loose
Swarming throughout each one of our lives
In hopes they are shared by all who try
A bird in flight on air lifted wings
Cannot be grounded by mans guaranties
Don't tether your soul, let your genie gift to you
All that they are bringing so that you can share
More of what comes from deep inside of you
Your courage strength and hope of emotions you wear
One can't tether a soul
Or capture a cloud whole
A bird in flight on air lifted wings
Cannot be grounded by mans guaranties

you gotta excuse me, bt i love re-mixing people's work:
A bird in flight on air lifted wings
Cannot be grounded by mans guaranties
would love to see this as a refrain at the end of each verse! It's so good I want to hear it on repeat.
I like that Maxine. I write my poetry to be turned into songs (I am song writer currently in a hold pattern for melodic writing) and I often miss the "hook lines" that can make a song. I really like your idea! Soon as I am back from vacation I am going to be working on setting up a Podcast. Thanks for your insights!
