Today...

I stand alone but never afraid
Arising from the dark towards the light
Humming sweet lullabies to calm my soul
From the day births a bewitching night.

Injecting reason where it was absent
Through the ups and downs of this opus
Seeing the beauty in the breath of each new day
Dancing off the pain and heartache that enslave us.

I woke up this morning with music in my head
There’s an aria in me of sweet blues and hues
Bumping and grinding to my soul sista’s rhythm
Stretching my hand and my heart out to you.

All the earths and stars come alive
Raindrops knocking on caterpillar’s door
Sweet childbirth of a new spirit and being
Spreading wings into todays and tomorrows.

It would’ve been easy to just walk away
Imperfection staring at me in my mirror’s rue
How can I ask for so many chances from others
And not find the mercy within myself for you?

No picture perfect story on this stage
Reality exists, there’s no hiding place from
I have more to lose by losing you my dear
At the end of the day we are only human.

This thing is times bigger than you and i
Scattering through the realms of eternity’s time
Beautiful is the one who sees the darkest days of another
Acceptance of a gracefully wanting mind.

Your reason was destined before we came to be
You’ve taught my fearless heart how to forgive
I’ve got a lot and so much more within me
So from here on out, through sun and rain
I’ll give.
