Forever engulfed in your sweet mystery

Then forever I shall be...

Take flight-
Spread your wings

They're always there
Never fear

Don't forget to unfold thee

Those beautiful wings;
everyone possesses

Graceful, or as ungraceful as they may seem

Don't forget

Take flight-

Torn or Tattered
Untampered
or
Completely shattered

You'll always have your wings

Spread them, far and wide;
So you can see what I see


Beauty

A shadow was cast
unto the foothills of our past

It shall not last

A veil waiting to be unveiled
The cover of covers
Blanketing our eyes,
waiting to be peeled

Until every rusty nail
has been removed

It shall not last

The fortune of others
Our freedoms
our fight for free will

You cannot hide
Nor evade us

It shall not last

In the end
The free of mind
will prevail

Those lifeless wings;
On the metal they lay

My dear beautiful bird
I find dismay

Buried next to the marigolds
where my departed cousin
once grazed

Gone, the life from you
No longer flapping along

On into the netherworld
Where you'll sing
your chirping songs

My little lucky parakeet
sing
Forever long

The life from you
now drained
dead and gone

Process the transformation
Rooted deep within
your souls conformation

Your heart is the beacon
The soul your core

Light up the world
and burn all those doors

You've kept shut
for far too long

Open the windows
Release your light

You are strong
You are love
You are full of might

Just be

Release your light,
cast it upon everything

With all the strength
you hold inside

I want to feel your heartbeat
against my barren skin

Skipping and racing
as your lips brush tenderly
against my lips

A moment frozen in time

Forever held safely
wrapped within the warm embrace,
of your loving arms

You make my heart sing a wonderful tune
I'm forever entranced in the rhythm
Played so beautifully a violin
Strumming and humming
Lost in the musical notes
My heart is singing your name
Calling to you, hoping you can hear the ring
