They say a chicken
Will stay in its cage
When lightning is flashing
And winds start to rage...

Chickens like safety
And stay where it's warm.
But they say eagles

FLY INTO THE STORM.

I gave my heart to someone in the rain,
the clouds exploding, witness to my vows

The water carrying away each fervent wish
—to stream in happy aqueducts of love

Just empty

Find the hidden self within
Know the self
Find the lost self
Let the trapped self
Breathe
That Trying to gasp  
Let the self breathe
Let all emotions flow
Let it breathe
My dear
Let it live
Let it flourish
Let it spread
Let it radiate
Let it come
And let it go
Empty yourself
“Let it come
What’s hidden  
Your anger
Sadness
Hatred
Jealous
Tears
Pain
Joy
Let come
Let it go
It comes
Because it’s there
Once it’s gone
There will be nothing left
But your true self
That’s pure love and peace
Until
You feel it
Let whatever hidden
Come
Surface up
Let it come
Let it go
Be empty
And then
Come to me
We both will be empty
And ready to merge
as one
Let it come
Let it go
My dear
Let it go
Don’t refer to things as
“The good old times”
Refer to them as memories
“That you hold for a lifetime”
With one pen in the inkwell,
eternity got wet

The words to dance and laugh and pray,
phrasing’s still unmet

With one pen in the inkwell,
the future kissed the past

The moments now, the moments then
—Siamese at last
