This is a poem that I would like to have adapted into a song very shortly for placement on what hope will be my debut vocal album....of course, as far as I know, these plans are not in place yet-but I write everyday hoping that someday someone with magic record reeling power will do a double take a redub of me over a currently well-known artist. It sure would be good to get to the top someday! "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..." :) Anyway, here's the poem. It is entitled Hold the Fire (Assess the Damage)

Hold the Fire (Assess the Damage)

Hold the fire right there and pull the wreckage

And quench the thirst of your fears

Evil apendage

And when the smoke from your eyes clears

Assess the damage

They hold the fire right there-strip off the bandage.

Better I go forward in time with the plans of my past,

And better I stand right in and bind with the contracts that last.

So better I come prepared and in wait for all positive things,

And better I know the acceptance of patience,

A puppet on strings.

I hold the fire right there

And claim inception

And quench the thirst of my fears

Undue perception.

And when the tears from eyes clear

Assess the damage

Please hold the fire right there

Not mine to manage.

I say better they know the truth of their matters

Just how invaded they are

And I say better my knowledge then theirs

to discern all possible scars.

And I say charity wins in a world of misfortune

To Be Continued...
