An exercise

We have the potential to affect others through all of our actions during our day, whether we are aware of it or not. ~ Madisyn Taylor

An exercise came flying into my window that, if you know me, I just had to try.

It went something like this: Most of us all know the tune of “Yesterday” by the Beatles? Change the words but use the tune to guide you beat by beat, rhythm for rhythm, see what you come up with. This is my rendition, I’m no McCartney or Lennon, keep that in mind. This still might need some work, but this is what I came up with. Enjoy…

Suns not for me

***

Suddenly, sunshine’s not the very same to me
It’s just an orb that I can hardly see
It had to flee away from me.

Yesterday, all the vipers’ claws came after me
They just had to steal my souls debris,
They gnawed on me, so suddenly.


Why sun had to run I don’t know, He wouldn’t say
I got down on my knees and I prayed for sunny days

Suddenly, all the darkness swept right over me
Now I need a place my soul can be
oh suddenly, suns not for me

Why sun had to run I don’t know He wouldn’t say
I got down on my knees and I prayed for sunny days

Suddenly, all the shadows washed right over me
There was no place left that I could see,
They came for me, oh let me be.

Why sun had to run I don’t know He wouldn’t say
I got down on my knees and I prayed for sunny days

Suddenly, all the glory sprayed all over me,
the joy in life swept right on through me,
oh I believe, my souls’ now free.

Hmm hmm hmm my souls’ now free
