At first we flew with timeless wings
Into the dreams and beyond.
And when the truths came
and monstered us all,
we had to cope or fall
I WAS walking on eggshells,
Walking on the razor's edge,
I fell into life
onto the ground of truth
He IS walking on eggshells
He IS walking on the razor's edge
Life on one side, Death on the other
We are not Born in the air with timeless wings,
Gravity grants space and time
And yet still
What is up must come down
May the landing be gentle,
like a lion's roar when it
comes to the mountain peak to
announce itself,
May it be wakening,
like the first summer sunrise burning into the day,
May it be embracing
like the entwining vines
racing upwards towards the sun
to gather all the light

Facing the truth around addiction, codependency, and just understanding what really drives us to be alive, drives us towards our own truth, surrendering to the pain of confusion and not knowing.. I write this poem, because always, always , even when my heart is broken, I am in favor of choosing life and the light.
