Look within the heart
Of action and reaction
Let the world take you
To places never dreamt about
Upon this journey's end
Dreams will become overshadowed
By the darkness within the heart
Of visionaries whose thinking
Is beyond your sight
Take care,
Choose with wisdom
The path you walk
Not allowing warped words
Hold sway upon your life
Words full of promise beyond
An individual’s control
Lead you to an end
Where dreams drown
In the nightmare that life can provide
Walk the path
That will take you
To a place where dreams embrace
And find balance amongst
The dreams of all

What inspires one to write? For me it is an irresistible urge to assemble words together that results in the creation of imagery that I experience when I look at the world around me. I can not remember a time that I was not writing, especially poetry. To write a poem is to use the fewest words to create a glimpse into a new world or perspective. By Allison Brown

Let the music take you
Rhythm soothes the soul
Letting one drift
Along a river of sound
That cleanses the mind
With the sound
I let myself go
Flowing away
As the current rushes out
The beat
Feel the beat
With its rhythm
I drum my fingers
I tap my feet
With the sounds
My soul
Lives
Let the music take you
On a journey of the mind
Let your fingers
Your voice and breath
Create a life of its own
Is the song from within
Or is the sounds of song
Shaped from another soul
Let the music take you
From the place where you are
To where all that surrounds
Drifts away in a haze
And clarity of vision
Allows you to see
The world through the sounds of song

Child of mine
See me
As I see you
Watching you grow
And becoming all that you can be
Holding you
When your tears fall
Helping you
To keep trying after you fall
Letting you go
When you open your arms
And declare
Look world, here I am.

Fly upon the Wind
With the wind I shall fly away
Let it lift me far into the skies
I will rush along with the clouds above
With the sun shining upon my skin
Fly upon the storm
Twisting upon the breeze
As the earth shakes
And the sky roars with life
I shall fly above the storm
Watching as the world wakes
The ground dry and cracked
Parched from an unquenched thirst
Let the rain come forth
Turning the dust into mud
And the browning of the wild
Into an explosion of colour
Upon the land
Hear the cries of life
That for a time
Flew upon the wind
