I call to you and fall on deaf ears,
my screams are only witnessed by silence I open my arms allowing you to be truly amazing, my bird does not need to be set free as I always welcome your freedom, I embraced it.
I merely wanted to be near to you, you freedom was my freedom, I stood transparent in my truth and in my truth was your denial.
Happiness reined in its purity your nearness was enough.
Abandoned I lay in sorrow reaching plains that are nonexistent within your realm of consciousness .
I embraced your full capacity, your deepest intention, I bear witness to your desires and felt whole in their completion.
I stood back enchanted by your possibility and in yours I saw mine, a mirror image smiling back at me .
To be truly aware, awakened, without boundary without constraint.
I see you , I see all of you and I offer freedom.
I stand on the edge of the cliff , arms open, breeze at my back , Yes I scream, yes.
My heart sings the songs of a thousand lives.
Intensity is hard to handle the opening of the gateway of souls, reflects in the humanity of what we are .
See beyond blinded eyes and you will see what I offer now and forever .
Why is it that we trap ourselves with the fear of possibility .
Better to live in the darkness than to shine in the light.
Nothing , emptiness I cannot fathom .... it was, but shall not be .
I have lost you again a thousand times over... I have lost you .
My knees buckle to the ground, again the fierce tears run and still...
And still I stand in my truth your are amazing... alas not by my side .
With or without you I scream yes...yes
Bewildered, grazed, open ....yes.
