*inspired By Journey: Open Arms Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

for the Filipino vocalist Arnel Penida

I can do nothing
but sing about it
and so am I relieved
from the pain

It is the Journey music
caressing my burdened shoulders
as a heavy bomb
threatening my inner breathing lungs

Lying beside
the Journey's Open Arms
exiting now from the dark

Softly whispering
biting the tounge of happiness
as total inspiration
a soul-surrendering
thru an open song
touching rugged heart
