I think we could relate so well
it's a shame we don't take the time
are we rushing through our busy lives
too busy to touch the sublime
too occupied to hear the rhyme
it seems like such a crime
didn't you know...
the heart speaks in rhyme

ah yes, from listening to Elaborate Lives and the rest of Aida dozens of times in the past few weeks to reading and listening to some of my favorite writers and singers here on myspace and elsewhere too (especially Meg and Dia, with thanks), I found myself wondering why so many people add so many people as friends and why so few of us actually share anything meaningful or  personal (again?)... though this time I found the wondering came out in rhyme (and it's almost always more sentimental and hopeful and romantic in rhymes)...

I think we could relate so well
it's a shame you don't take the time
are you rushing through your busy lives
or just not interested in mine
maybe you are afraid of new things
or are not in tune with rhyme
maybe all the words are just too much
but this is the bottom line

I wish you felt what you inspire in me
I hope you do even if I never know
may you find your way to set yourself free
and may you share it, may you let it go
may you find the will to let your love show

I love the way your mind unwinds
as you relate your life and times
and I'd never want tie you down
there is only love in my design
and if it's left to be this far away
I will send it in this rhyme
as I babble just to let it out
to secure the bottom line

to thank you for what you inspire in me
I hope you find yours everywhere you go
such beautiful bliss is how life's meant to be
and may you share it, may you let it grow
may you find your way to let your love flow

after all is said and done
life is good when it is fun
and beautiful is simply being real
not afraid of all we can feel
in our time and in our way
life is just a game we play
and meaningful when we share
how much we can and want to care
just dare and double dare
and you'll be there

I listen to you sing your songs
and sense you touch something sublime
in the wonder of your energy
what you share can become mine
and I can hear your harmonies
even if you never hear my rhyme
I'll sing along from far away
and love the bottom line

to thank you for what you inspire in me
to wish you peace and love wherever you go
may you find your way to set yourself free
and as you share it, you let the world know
you found the will and way to let it go
you know how to make your love grow
you know how to let your love flow
you know how to let your love show
