Phase One

In a small movements
The earth is shattered
In the notes that start so pure
They build in you

Entering in meditation
Taking you floating
Into your universe
Of such independence

The energy elevates you
To the next level of awareness
Of total creativity
In a space so unique

You are the master
Of your own destiny

Phase Two

Once things are started in motion
The answer to your existence
Will be set in place

There will be no stopping it
Isolation will not cure it
There are no paths to hide you

Your vulnerability is your life
To explore with open windows

Phase 3

Your mind will wander the universe
Free spirited flight with no boundaries
Constrictions by others will not bind
The uniqueness of your identity

Your doubt will finally come free
To haunt you no more
The impossible power of the mind
Will lie in words unheard of starting to live

Your own denial of your purpose
Lies in the weakness of giving up
As readers will learn to take flight
Your delicate wings will soar

An eagle spirit will take to the winds
For the white buffalo must be seen
For the revival of the power
Riding in the skies within us
Must ride into the celestial heavens above us

The hallucinations of the past
Will come clear of their meaning
Tormented time has only made
You more determined

For your audience will lie with the dreamers
That say anything is possible
For the fairies will cast their spells
As magical dragons will set fire inside you

In a mind burn that spices up diversity
The heart will burn into the intensity of your words
Creativity will carry the moment
Into the depths of eternity

Phase Four (Retrospection)

The cocoon shell is cracking
My failures lie all around me
Feeding from me in my isolation
There is no way of succeeding
For the negative is bleeding me dry

The drive in me is getting stronger
As my eyes weaken with age
The late bloomer�s heart is clogged
With the pain of existing on a routine
That cries for change

As the wolves circle for the attack
To take me down without a fight
The adrenaline of remembered youth
Screams in anxiety of a pending confrontation
The warrior spirit awaits his imagined army
In the empty space behind him

As I start to leave this shell
What will you see in your eyes
Will you believe in a miracle
Or will you see a fraud
What I hope you see an American dream
That can make a difference
In the special place called your heart
