Yawning at your feet
It waits for you to look
Inside
Why do you turn away,
dear one
Why do you run and hide?
You cleaned the mirror
As a child
You had no fear
Of what you’d find
But the clear white sparkle
In your eyes
Dimmed
When it was set aside
Take off your mask
Dearly Beloved
Show me what I need
To see
Show me who I am
And all I’ll ever be
On the round table’s edge
12 pairs of eyes
That all make one pledge
Each rolls one marble
Of white toward the center
They roll like a river
Of light all together
Like lightening they mingle
The parts intertwine
A shiny new opal
Is born in their mind
Wings folded as she fell
Dead as night she hit the ground
Clear walls are built in hell
Boundaries raised by human hands
‘Round hearts that hum like hummingbirds
Broken flight in foreign lands
That were never meant for her
Break the glass now if you can
Fly sweet girl, please take my hand
Sift for gold in desert sand
Your soul waits in the promised land
Staircase won’t let me go
White knuckles hold tight to the rail
Faith says it will help me grow
When running doesn’t help anymore
I’m forced to draw a buried breath
While I learn what the pain’s here for
Time hangs between life and death
My old life sits beside me now
Dirty hand on a pale white thigh
Not so sure it was even mine
Was this life ever really mine?
Caught between the dark and light
The pendulum swings
And rests only when it’s time
Only when it’s time
The cave that wears a human face
Breath and senses interlaced
Hold you close in their embrace
This is for the lost ones
Who haven’t found their way
This is for the lost ones
Who haven’t found their way
Enter into that forgotten place
The cave that wears a human face
Breath and senses interlaced
Hold you close in their embrace
What makes a free spirit?
Listen, it’s not the clothes you wear
Or those pretty flowers in your hair
No...
It’s the miles in your stare
You’ve walked and danced
Just to arrive here
Be here...
Breath of the wind
Rhythm born of fire
Heart like a river
That pours from your eyes
