Here's an experiment I'll try now
Give me a moment to explain how..

"NO!" has hyjacked my life
And thus set off my wiring for strife..

It began rather young
When "YES" wished to have fun..

"NO!" would so often spoil the game
Using its crew: Doubt, Cruelty, Shame..

YES tried to stay on track
But NO could see what it lacked..

Using my wiring to take command
YES was not strong enough to stand..

Against NO's impossible power
YES, for a long while could only cower..

But YES, recently found a key
Promising to set me free..

From NO's tyrannical rule
YES whispered "NO only aims to fool!"

Clear your mind of NO's debris
Impose thoughts that move more free..

Toward the goals you have set
Let not your mind forget..

The power is yours to keep or lose
Dependant upon only the direction YOU choose.

Wherever you go, know I'm here little one..
If gone from my place, do not fear dear one..

Disappear it seems all good things must do..
Yet know my love takes a new form for you..

Did you see me in that smile your teacher gave?
Hear me in the music lifting your heart as a wave?

Search for me not in the places I've been..
I surround as a blanket to warm you in..

If you are cold, of me you've grown unaware?
Turn toward an angel left there to repair..

Your radar that sees love, abundant and true..
See then I have not nor ever will leave you.

Would it be enough for you?
To call it a dream come true?

For a partner to "protect" you from harm?

His will not your own
Would keep you at home..

Much of the control accepted as "charm" ..

Would it be enough for you?
His needs become the glue?

Which keeps all things snug in their place..

Your primary role
To bandage a soul..

Who does not accept you have your own face..

Would it be enough for you?
To live life for his truth?

Repression robbing the very air that you breathe?

Could you "make it work"?
As your kids watch your worth..

Circle the drain causing Dignity finally to leave?

Would it be enough for you?!
As your identity they confuse..

For some object that lives to serve and comply?

Tell me..what's it worth to you?
Your true self to shine through..

On which Mountain would you be willing to die?

If I were more "grateful"..
Would I avoid a long stare?

If I were more "thoughtful"..
Perhaps my words could then repair?

If I were more "understanding"..
Destructive patterns would not trouble me..

If I were more "revealing"..
Maybe then I could help you see?

If I were more "patient"..
Perhaps my needs would not press to be met..

If I were more "forgiving"..
All past harm I could forever forget..

If I were more "sensical"..
I would not stir up suspicion..

If I were more "trusting"..
I'd have no need of woman's intuition..

If I were more "as I should be"..
All problems then I could solve..

If I were only more "proper"..
I could be a woman with no wish to evolve.

I live in the spaces between the calm..
I am wilderness, I am mess..
I am the fight to move on..

There are those who only see in life what is wrong..
I am resolve, I am steady..
I am forced will to be strong..

If you can't find your way, the path through seems lost..
I am sight, I am touch..
I am breath through the cost..

Walk with me and as we walk we pause..
I am a hand, I am a mind..
I am here just because..

There is nowhere else I would rather be.
I am presense, I am compassion..
I am The Love..

Than here with you, that we each may see..
We are the dark, We are the light..
We are Creation's Sparks of..

If we were to come to our senses..
Relationsips would require no fences..

To keep others out, or needed ones in..
Nothing to lose and nothing to win..

Pocession of another would require no proof..
As its an impossibility to own a soul so aloof..

Would a body stay in ******* for reasons imposed?
Tis true many make deals such as this I suppose..

Yet, souls yield not for the demands of submission..
But for their Maker who frees all, this is my intuition.

When you dance?  
Do you dance with eyes closed tight?

Do you blink?
For a glimps of  her true moonlight?

Do you pause?
To notice if she wishes to follow you?

Do you loosen your grip?
As she moves in her own quirky groove?

Do you fear she'll break free?
Leave you dancing alone?

Do you let her go?
See if you're her "true home"?

Do you offer a door?
If she must part ways?

Or do you harm her?
Be sure she's crippled and thus always stays..
