I dance my dance
high up in the clouds
and among the stars
here, I am limitless
here, we are infinite
but the Earth is still below us
this world of concrete and precious few jungles
it is omnipotent
or maybe I am
regardless, there it stays
infuriatingly solid
must I return?
five more minutes

where are we
when we are nowhere
where are we
when we are everywhere
are we?
to be nomadic
here and there yet nowhere
sans frontières
but they are there, aren't they
endless frontiers, ceilings, barriers, hurdles
just let me go
let me jump
up, over, out
escape the labyrinth

day after day
sitting on the water
she gazed at herself
around herself
through herself
as the water went on
she knew herself
her limitless, multidimensional self
they don't know ****

she knew then
the ways of this world
she knew then
of clenched fists
she knew then
her future
her place
her face, and all the weight that it carried
she knew then
of all the doors shut
she knew
she knew
she knew
of incomparable power
of beautiful strength
of divinity and all that is sacred
of wisdom and benevolence
she knew
she knows
we know
so she straightened her crown and rose

these boundless objectives
where will they take me?
am I really steering this ship
is it even a ship?
existence is limitless
equal parts liberating and crushing
maybe we are all Atlas
the weight of the world a daily burden
tell me how
I'll do anything
how did you escape it?
tell me the secret to the radiance of your smile
the cadence of your laugh
the way you dance through life
how did you escape?
I'd love to know
I bet Atlas would too
one night she whispers
she guides me by the light of the fire
there is no escape my dear
only the strength to dance despite
Despite
