Dee's pen

grow outta your shell!
find your ground! loamy ground!
turn a giant tree! break the bound!
**
I sought the sea's bowels
for an end to this period. but it said to me,
You are a sailor
caught on the sea when it beams red
effort of days took to race
thy eyes set ablaze with tears.
be confounded not!
grab your paddle, launch a row!
row hard, my friend, row row row
**
I sought a seat in furnace heart
for an end to this period. but it said to me,
You are a gold bar
ignorance has its dusty palm on thy face
shove it off! shove it!
submit thyself to bellow's arm
for a journey through flames to turn a star.
strive, my friend, strive to glitter!
In kings and queens beauty, you must glitter!
**
Yes, you can! Yes, you must fly!
were the lyrics that chuckled my smile
my gaze beholds the flickering sky
dressed in a robe dotted with God's smile.
