"Spirit"
Holley Oldfield-Schultz

I am but a spirit placed upon this land
traveling many roads learning what I am
seeking for answers that lay deep within
memories from another time show me were I have been
visions and dreams guide me on my path each day
time is but an instant as I travel on my way
that which we hold on to is what we must let go
for it is in the receiving that our spirits truly know
what is ours comes freely can not be held so tight
for only in the freedom can spirit truly feel the flight

Creators love surrounds us as it is placed within our souls
like a buried treasure some may never truly know
we struggle with our journey and travel paths so dark
that we no longer hear the beating of our heart
the beating of a heart beat that carries in our veins
the very blood that carries us down lives so many lanes
for in the beating of this heart, that lays so deep inside
is the sound of our own voice, from that we can not hide

For we are but pure spirit, creatures of true flight
voices calling out to others in the darkness of the night
we search for that from which we came and to that which we return
carrying only back with us what spirit has truly learned
circles are completed forgiveness lies within
to complete the broken circles.. to travel once again
