PART 2: JULY SKETCH POEM SONG CHALLENGE

The Next 7 Days

…and once again, to the mysteries of life,

One minute dark, the next it’s light,

The wheels keep turning at every scale,

What is success without a fail?

That potato sound, is coming next,

From a place that we thought was hexed,

It makes no sense, but that’s just now,

To turn it ‘round, I’ll show you how.

The actor can choose to play any side,

But the clown has to go along for the ride,

Each night the question remains the same,

Can I go on, playing this game?

Have I become stuck in the thoughts of the many,

Or should I fall to a place that is empty,

Where the canvas, is blank for a change,

And no one to judge, what might be strange

All of these symbols, we’ve assembled so well,

Can’t tell the difference between heaven and hell,

What might seem like music to my ear,

Fills another with dread and fear,

When I see the flower do I think of the flame?

Or do I give it another name?

The voices whispering in my ear,

Prefer it when it is unclear.

So to the mountain I will go,

And maybe dance amongst the snow,

And then I’ll sing a different tune,

Beneath the light of the full moon.
