If I know the way back
Into my mother's womb
I will travel down
That road of innocent years
And change the ugly things of the past
That once marred my years.
But in my next life
I may change many things
Not my name
For that is my spirit
That is my pride
If I live a million times over
I will travel each life with my poetic Muse
The ocean of afflatus
From where I draw inspiration
You've been my good friend
Even in raining days
You are a brother
In the thicket of my tears
The depressed may turn to wine
I turn to you
Every time my heart arches
Miles of distance we've covered
Yet the horizon before me seems endless
I will need you to climb those mountains
To tell my family I'm grateful
To tell the lady I will love my feelings
To give my children wise counsels
To let my friend know I'm honoured
To show my foes I don't care
To tell the selfish leaders their doom
Remain then in the castle of my heart
You spirit of magic and genius
