It lends itself your fears .
Deeper still a light shines through and forgives the tears .
Yearning to know compassion ,
learning to know …
Is this freedom ?
She hides in plain view and … can be heard singing in your ear .
A melody or a chant rising from within and turning into a declaration of life .
She looks above and over the lines that have been drawn
and sees a clear flight .
She will pound inside your heart only when the cause is not right .
And tenderly caress your spirit’s wings into peace
and into the night .
I must remember to awaken my heart
when the cold waves of fear pass over the light .
And in the stillness …
I must remember to awaken my heart .
when the blindness of others brings harm
not delight .
I must remember to awaken my heart
so I may listen
to know your anger and offer my hand .
So you may know forgiveness
And how it can live in sadness .
I must remember to awaken my heart
because therein are the wings .
The wings are in our hearts
and they yearn to be free .
