A poets calling - Lyrics
Hi all. I wrote the following lines a couple of days ago, when I was in a mellow and somehow melancholy mood. I don't have the music down yet. Maybe some of you would like to collaborate on this one, both lines and music. Anyhow, feedback is highly welcome...
A Poets calling
A poet should never see life as it is
but always as it should be
he always should trust in a manner on his
own unique sensibility
The rain for instance is never the rain
when it pours in abundance from above
but wrapped in his beautiful mindfully words
as tears of a heavenly love
Nor should he recall to the winters snow
as cold and as ice and as hard
But more than a snow-white blanket, slow
to cover the land as a guard
And if a stone be it tossed into a lake
while he watches the ripples run free
he should describe this disturbance awake
As the waves of his poem-to-be
when it happens that he is alone in the night
And his thoughts may run wild in the still
Let the candles of his thoughts be his guiding light
as a torch for the darkness to fill
and at last if he sits in front of his book,
to be filled with the rhymes he has gained
He is not afraid of the empty page, look
It's his canvas on which he can paint

That's lovely. I like it. Some beautiful phrases and imagery there.
Right now it feels more like a poem, partly I suppose because of the content, but also because of the structure: identical stanzas all the way through. Though you may adapt that as it is set to music.
Some suggestions:
but wrapped in his beautiful mindfully words -> but wrapped in his beautiful mindful words
as tears of a heavenly love -> are tears of a heavenly love
as cold and as ice and as hard -> as cold
andas ice and as hard1 -
