You, my sweet friend, are always free.
Free to simply be
Yourself and anyone else you wish to be.
Your hands a comforting sage of color
A gratitude of visions
Your mind full of generous devotions
Sweet dancing soul of innocent wonder, nurturer of womban wit
Celebrate your shiny crown
Pose on your golden throne
See you are free, to be anyone
You wish to be …
And free to simply be.
Free to channel your Most High visions
Into masterpieces of reverence
Quilting a city in layers of rainbows
Telling the shaman tale
Speaking the good Goddess into
Color and textures
You are free my dear, free to be into whatever you want to be
Or simply be
And this is what the world needs
Embracing Freedom
Embracing Freedom
Been under the cool blue moon of stars ancient and before
I sat by ocean tide, it’s ripples in my shore
Been here on the concrete, the uniform done donned
Stepping to this other drummer to keep d electric on
Though deeper in my eyes I know a different tune
One of many visions and one of many moons
Instead of constant service and work for very little
I rhyme and dance and love with joy into the middle
Ground is where I start, though height is where I fly
Give myself the longest run, I release and start to glide
“Whooooooshhhhh”
Sun on my back, wind on my face…my eyes stretch far ahead
To meet the newest grace, my is heart open, willing to be fed
Break good bread and rest my weary head
“Seeeelahhhh“
