Seasons - Tim De Cotta, Josiah

I see the clouds move up so fast in the sky

I see the leaves fall down in summer’s reply

They settle in an ever changing ground as I watch the world go by

The snow white is winter’s effortless smile

The patterns turn to springing water so wild

They flow into the Sun clouds moving fast above it’s nature’s style

I see the seasons coming around

Like a circle coming around

With a voice upon the wind that’s telling me from deep within I’ll be alright

Alright… Alright

The plummeting degrees of hearts growing cold

The heating change of age’s stories are told

I find the balance in the quiet whispering inside my soul

I’ve fallen down before but never laid bare

I get back up my spirit’s fighting the wear

If life’s a test I hope that I will do okay I hope it’s fair

And still the season’s coming around

Like the circle’s reaching around

When they pass they leave me older wiser stronger bolder I’m gon' be alright

Alright… Alright

Alright… Alright

Have you ever felt

Like you would never find the inspiration to become a great dancer,

musician or an artist?

Close your eyes

Because the answers were easier than you think

The sound of a heartbeat and rain gave birth to rhythm and drums and everything

we know about music

Sand and leaves in the wind are the foundation of dance

And the quest to replicate the perfect sunset on canvas

Life is stressful

We drive in metal boxes to glass towers

And come back home to concrete walls

And use plastic

When was the last time you sat in grass and dirt?

Listened to the birds

Felt the wind in your hair

And smelt flowers?

Art allows us the opportunity to escape from the mundane

Read a book, sing in the shower, dance to the radio

Write a poem

Allow your soul to flourish

Picasso said, «Art washes away the dust of everyday life from my soul!»

So take that time to let your soul fly…
