That's the thing, it's going right.
It went wrong for it took so long,
to love myself and see the light
Feel the fear yet have the might
To walk through
This crowded empty night
And be able to ignite
With my only broken heart
Myself into creating art
Gathering alone
One apart
Myself, my role
On my own
Only a part, of a larger whole
And the real problem,
Is it's ever enough
And life itself,
Should in freedom laugh
And death is certain
at the end,
On that alone
I might depend
And this together
What is now
I might live through it all somehow
cling to hope
And forward bring
what I have that is innate
I am me, and that is great,
Live for love to heal hate
Go up and down the heavy swing
Of emotions, worlds and states of being
And now is here and everything,
Though sad for the years that went away
And even with a broken wing
I am still alive today
Yet while I'm here
to breath, grieve and play
Be a being,
Strong, worn and proud
Through hardship and woe
I am still allowed
aloud to sing!
and harvest hay
Plucking weeds
With swollen hands
I still need to mow the land
plant the grass
In the moon meadow
Smiling and weeping
Come and go
Heartstream seeping
Into the soil
Into the deep
Let it grow
And don't recoil
Us
Ours
You and me
Budding for second
Like little flowers
shapeful, helpful
Symmetry
Shapless, shameless
Geometry
Square, triangle And trapeze
Exhilarated,
yet at ease,
Two circles
Overlapping
Over hurdles
Carefully stepping
Often napping
Sometimes shouting,
Never lacking
Truth we see
And let it happen
With our eyes
Smelling tasting
Feeling is that which we know
Dancing, moving
To and fro
Hearing colours
Touching sounds
Sometimes slowly
Soft and round
Sometimes hasting
Even though,
all this time
I am just sinking
Closer and closer
to the ground
Lower and lower
Beneath and under
murky chilly sunless water
I am always spirit's daughter!
