Stepping

sleep now falls over me

the churning sounds of the distance

fade in and out of my mind

not really sure what's real

and what's of my own imagination

stepping the first step of the day,

sunlight breaking through the blinds,

I take a deep breath of the salty atmosphere

I look back and the sun is dancing

through her hair and across her face

one more step brings me down to the ocean

the waves swallow my ankles

and looking out over her vastness

her hands slip across me and warm my soul

as if she was another source of warmth for me

taking a step back, the sun falls

and the sea breeze brings the night

and as the white brilliance illuminates your face

I would bleed into the moon to shine my love

for you tonight

I'm sitting here with nothing more than

all these hopes and dreams, vivid facades

of what kind of life awaits me

I just need to make sure I step in the right direction

Take It Away

I lay back and watch the world around me be destroyed

the wind rips through, God rearranging as He so fits

and many people would start running around

moving things back to where they were supposed to be

except everything goes where it needs to be

but I continue to lay here with a smile

for I know the changes that bring themselves upon us

are exactly that, for us, and if we try to revert back

to the comfortability of our foolish worlds

they'll just end up being toppled over again anyway

I think from now on, I'll leave my windows open

and when I return back to my room

everything will be rearranged in a fashion I don't understand

but I know that they're there for a reason

If only everyone could give up what they've held onto

Subiré

slipping down further into this rabbit hole

I find myself looking at a box of chains in front of me

ones that I've let hold on to me for years

that I've finally removed from my bruised skin

Why did I do this? What took so long?

Now that the fetters to my being are at my disposal

I must remove myself from this bird cage

I haven't stretched my wings in so long

I just hope that I'll learn to fly again

Tomorrow is near, and I can almost taste it

And as the light gathers within me

I let it warm my soul, closing my eyes

this new life enters me

I'm almost ready, to take on this gift of mine

breathe in all the air that I've missed out on

perceive all the beauty I've looked past

And let myself sink into love like I've never done before
