Harness The Wind

Harness The Wind

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

Oh restless heart

Like a reckless wind

When will you calm

Be still my friend

You rage and push

Till time does bend

Yet still you blow

That fire you tend

A great big noise

A gathered whoosh

You huff and puff

Till shove comes push

A cool refresh

A needed breeze

You cannot mend

You taunt and tease

But strength will wane

And you'll pass by

You'll become weak

At last you'll sigh

Till breath has left

And wore you down

Till you are tamed

You'll wear a frown

Oh hapless heart

Just wait and see

Your joy will come

This I decree

So while you rage

And vent your ire

I'll use your flame

As well your fire

Take care to blow

O'er open seas

And not to break

Or destroy please

For in your hands

A clue resides

Harness the wind

And learn to ride

The Cure

"The Cure"

By: Adrielle R. Bollin

It's in the simple sunrise

And with the shortest prayer

The long winded conversations

The crisp fall air

The sunshine on my skin

The beauty found within

It's the water washing over me

My healthy soul and limbs

It's the wisdom deep inside

A stranger's friendly glance

It's the places that I hide

And the beauty of the chance

It's how I know your patience

And when I learn your grace

It's knowing you can hear me

When I've clearly lost my place

It's the changing of the seasons

With the things that stay the same

It's the confidence in knowing

I can live without the strain

It's in the blazing sunsets

And golden harvest moon

It's in the pull of the ocean

And the calling of the loon

My heart is ever testing

And sensing to be sure

Your love is ever present

Ever proving to be the cure

I Run Away

Prologue
Have you ever tried to express something that refused to flow in your usual style of writing?  Well this song is just that.  It is an expression that at least for the moment, refuses to flow the way I want it to and yet it expresses exactly what I want it to.  This morning as I was reading other blogs, I realized how beautiful some things are when they are simply written down, recorded, and expressed.  (ie.  http://lifeworkandpleasure.blogspot.com/2010/10/bouquet-of-roses.html ) So for the moment (or perhaps forever) I will present it as is.  I hope you enjoy it regardless of it's (in my opinion) lack of perfection.  :)

I Run Away
By: Adrielle R. Bollin

I run away To a place of escape
You follow me To the ends of the sea
In this vast blue world Of ocean waters
I hear you call my name
Your heart beat throbs with the sea
There is no escaping your love for me

Chorus:
So why do I run
Because I'm afraid
Of all you have planned
Of all that's unclear
So why do I run
Because I am broken
Confused and shaken
That's why I run

This ocean is vast Reminding me of you
I'll take you in But only you my friend
I don't want religion And all her lies
I want to breath your freshest air
To take in your beautiful blue green stare
Just us two in your ocean of you

Bridge:
Oh and soon I will see
All the best you have for me
And soon there will be
No more need for this running

And then I will run with you
Take up the world with you
We'll show them the way
To your love filled ocean
Yes I will run with you
Because I am whole with you
Because I am stronger
That's when I'll run

The Buried Dream

 The Buried Dream

By: Adrielle R. Bollin

Dreams come true

From time to time

Cause hearts to burst

With joy sublime

Some will fade

With time and age

Others stay vivid

A never ending parade

Dreams have died

To give new birth

Replaced with logic

And buried in dirt

I buried you once 

And a thousand times more

Yet still you come back

By some unknown force

Like a restless ghost

You haunt my thoughts

Refusing to rest

Or to be forgot

Caressing my heart 

Like a long lost flame

Stalking my memories

You call out my name

But I cannot have you

The cost is too steep

How can I abandon

The blessings I keep

You're like a prized diamond

Engulfed in shards of glass

Beautiful to look upon

But like a snake in the grass

I've chased you before

Always to no good end

I will not go back

For my heart it still mends

And though you might always

Be the thorn in my side

You will not defeat me

Though you certainly tried
