The Songstress

Her voice touches all,
the words tell a tale,
an exploration of her feelings, emotions, beliefs and thoughts,
do they come from her heart or mind,
pray tell where do the masters of love, sadness, hope and kindness hail from,
do the lyrics string a story of a beginning and an ending,
would she continue to hope to live up to the journey,
when her future has revealed no certainty,
and Anxiety becomes her companion,
and yet all she would ask from all those surrounding her,
is knowing that an empty abyss does not await...

Do the conventional and old-fashioned tales of chivalry and heroism carry her,
and should the book of tales burn in crisp,
who will come forth and guide her along the way,
when her panoramic view of people and the world as benevolence,
has been distorted by the masquerade party of malevolence and hurt,
without relying on the cold trails of rationality,
would she adopt the age-old advice of being led by the warm tugs of instinctual passion,
are the paths bestowen with the gift of leading her to salvation,
not when the steps that she takes on each day,
are met with her piercing eyes of skepticism,
for Fear has whispered into her ears,
that all may lead back to the same world of guilt, pain and injustice...

The songs that arise from her beautiful voice,
the audience sits back and contemplates as she opens up her mind and soul,
will her songs end on a high note filled with grace, victory, love and joy,
has she been able to wield the musical notes of rhythm and tune,
no longer relying on the musical notes as her reference,
the audience knows,
when she sings,
there is no deceivement and no false pretense,
and though the surrounding noise attempt to distort the mood,
even if her mind has to contend with the nemesis of Fear and Anxiety,
should she look beyond the non-existent abyss,
that she always had the song,
of strength, courage and love,
all in her heart...
