Hi Everyone!
I thought it was about time I jumped back in to Open Mic! Here's my entry for this week-a song I wrote called "Paradise Dreaming".

I hope you enjoy it!!

Lyrics

Ooh ooh ooh…

I’m standing still
close to the edge
ships in line
pens to the page
the road is clear
the sirens are waiting
I’m ready now
to step off the stage

Ooh ooh ooh…

Letting go feels like I’m falling
I’m reaching out
for anything real
Fragile heart
longs for an anchor
I’m lost at sea
spinning the wheel

Ooh ooh ooh…

Love is not some paradise dreaming
oh oh
it’s not some bright shiny veneer
when you’re standing out in the cold
and the voices are screaming
oh oh
it takes it’s all to hold on
and know who are

Ooh ooh ooh…

Come follow me!!

Wonderfully powerful words "...when you’re standing out in the cold and the voices are screaming. It takes it’s all to hold on"
Reminded me of dark times when I was homeless, living on a beach in the cold, cold, blowing wind and rain pleading with God, screaming at the top of my lungs trying to hold on to what little love I had left in my life then. Thankfully I survived by the comforter's hand upon me and found forgiveness for my own self.
Thanks for the reminder. Have a truly blessed day.

Wow I'm so sorry you went through that but so glad you came out of it and found forgiveness for yourself too... when I wrote this is was kind of a metaphor for things I was feeling... but I guess it's an experience many have gone through, and some more literally... thanks for sharing

You're welcome. Those were dark days where I cried a river of tears filling the sea. <---there's a title to a sad country song for sure. 😂
Seriously throw looking back on it I felt like Job from the Bible wrestling with God looking for answers. Isaiah 1:18 KJV
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord : though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool, He spoke to me laughingly.
The next day while heading to the pier for breakfast God revealed the mysteries of everything all in the smile if a wide eyed Hispanic girl when she picked up a full sized sand-dollar I had dropped there and pointed to her to find it. I'll never forget that day either. It was as if I had woke up in Eden and all was well with the world. I supposed there to is another verse referencing a peace that indeed surpassed All understanding.
I'll be looking forward to hearing more tunes from you in the future. Because He is Risen, so too, I, will rise.
