A Memory (2005)
By Jodie Stewart ©
That moment of eternity that touches one so deep,
Shining lights: one thousand cries, ones dream.
Perpetuity, one moment, the stem to the rose,
Endless days of love and passion: the nurture and growth.
Bring to life a dull like madness churning deep within
Yet to shine, single moments, one dream.
Flying, high above, doubts and nerves expected,
Laughter, tears of joy and hate: various emotions.
That triumph of a job well done, will there be anymore?
Everlasting hope: a thousand dreams: an act?
One place, one hope, one timeless journey,
One that forever ends...
A journey through the past of a time on stage, I shall not forget.
Music: My only Hope (2005)
By Jodie Stewart ©
Sitting in a corner down a deserted alleyway,
The fear of loss and loneliness creeps slowly down my spine,
Endless sounds of crying cats and howling dogs around me,
Fears yet non-stop thoughts of isolation: just a dream.
No roof, no shelter, my absent mind is led astray,
The ticking of one thousand clocks, whispering through the wind.
Falling rain, a surge of emotion, drowning beneath a pool,
Scars and bruises fading, the pain remains; mindless fool.
Abandoned from childish games, ruins to explore
Tears flow from darkened eyes and hatred builds within.
One thing saves me from this fight, a sound heard from afar
Powerful essence fills the alleyway, the strumming of ones guitar.
Touch of music in the distance, reverberates through a lost soul,
Electric sensations: hearts racing, a voice within.
Time travels fast, I awaken and it's all a dream,
Guitar beside me...one strum to go, pathetic it may seem.
Alleyway is my home, where I bleed my heart and soul,
Through music, my old guitar, mighty hope.
To sit and busk my way through life a thick skin needs shedding,
It’s tough! Hard to crack, tired of this setting.
At the dawn of dusk, I lay to weep.
Shed my light, hope and dream.
