We are freedom
We are light
We are birds taking flight
There is nowhere we have not seen
No one we haven’t been… born to serenely
Try, to eke our truth from within/out the sky
I wish you could see what my eyes have seen
Over thousands of lifetimes
Through challenges and sight grown dim
I wish the best for you my child
My friend, my brother, my pyre-lighter
Thanking you always I set the world ablaze
With chalk and dust and glowing haze
I kiss your feet and rise on tiptoes to reach
The brow wherein all that knows can breach
The heavens and where the seas shall know no
dangers held in the real, the known, the full-on world.
You are sleeping now. Awake! Give me your hand.
There, now you see ~ it has always been your land.
Beauty. Freedom. Light. Truth
These are yours and the only cost
Is to open, open, awake and open your eyes.
