I wrote this 3 years ago and found it again just now - it's funny how some things about us never change... I feel this way right now!:-)
Beyond Yourself
Deeper than the fathoms of your soul,
And further than the echoes of all dreams;
Emotions sailing higher than the whole
Still barely touch the prisms of new schemes.
Untouched by endless plans that men will form
It reaches past the walls that we have set
Looking beyond our dreams it does not scorn
The fears our lives will breathe to ne’re forget.
Forming books untouched by others’ thoughts
It pens the words that we have yet to write.
It plays the songs that artists long have sought
And sees beyond the sharpest eagle’s sight.
Beyond yourself it forms and breathes and sighs
The Artist painting our own future lives.
