Words for the Music

Today's five minute creative writing exercise is actually song lyrics to one of my original tunes that I sometimes opt to share with complete strangers at open mic or coffee house gatherings. I am far more comfortable playing the tunes for my plants and furniture but need feedback on occasion to determine whether the song is a keeper.

I understand the importance of hearing a song in order to fully appreciate the potential, but for now, the lyrics will be all that I can offer you here. So without further adieu, a T Funk original for your consideration. I hope you have an opportunity to funk things up just enough to spread a little more joy in the world today. Have a great weekend and as always, Funk out!

The Flame

Where you are going will be where you've been
it's all the same place in the end
Words spoken are ideas uttered
sometimes in vain and then forgotten

But sometimes,
they make a connection and need no clarification

If one small push can put you over
then one good turn surely leads to another
One chance is all life requires
for one dream to be inspired

One spark catches another
and that spark feeds the fire's flame.

  1. YAYA! I like it! Let me know the next performance date. I have time for going to events like that that now -- I'm a townie! I mean, I live there, so it makes me one, right?
