My Mind Is A Wishing Well

Here's another poem that's being set to music for Tiffany Prochera's upcoming song collection.

MY MIND IS A WISHING WELL

My mind is a wishing well

Every day I deposit wishes and dreams like coins of copper

Nickel or silver for added consideration

As the metals disintegrate, mingle

Percolating in the joyfully burdened waters

The dreams discuss amongst themselves how they shall appear

How they may join forces

To kill two or three birds with one proverbial stone

Though that would never be a wish of mine

My wishes are for beautiful things

I dream in roses and music

And the well is happy to bring those dreams into the waking hours

They will become manifest in their time

When they are ready

When it will best serve all concerned

For there is a reason my wishes and dreams have come to me

My mind is a collaborator with the cosmos

And every dream I dream keeps a planet spinning in its orbit, a star shining in the heavens

Oh woe would be the hour should those dreams ever fade!

A little poetry anyone?

Hi all!

Here is a poem that is being set to music for Tiffany Prochera's upcoming collection of songs for intermediate vocalists.  Enjoy!



I SHALL NOT IMPOSE A DESTINATION UPON THIS SONG

I will not impose a destination upon this song

Upon its creation or its presentation

Each word shall find a home

No melody is in vain

This song shall reach its own conclusion

A conclusion I may not and need not comprehend

I need only sing with abandon

I need only feel without restraint

I need only share and strive

That is the journey. That is the intention

That is the beauty, to evolve in one’s own time

of one’s own volition

Those who receive are those who are meant to receive

It may be heard once, perhaps many times

It is not for me to decide

I need only release that which desires to be free

Then it is so simple

Then the song becomes that which is wants to be

Joy unhampered by expectation

Thought unimpeded by desired results

Then the truth is revealed

I can be at peace with mystery
