If I can just bear it
To stay here
Within the unfolding of this silent moment
Witnessing the beating of my own heart
Grown rapid
With a suppressed longing to live and love
Too long denied
Will I summon up the courage
To find for myself a place
Out there in an open field
Way beyond fences
If I can just bear to open the door a little
To reveal the depths of what is true for me
While every bone in my body quakes with breathlessness and fear
If I can just allow what wants to journey outward
To be set free
With the force of a thousand wings
Might I just finally
Understand what it means
To fly free of a place
Beyond cages
Where joyful uprush of air carries me
To winged flight
And downward swoop
Kicks my disabled trust into gear
If I can just stand over the precipice and finally
Trust myself enough to jump
What reaches may I find that live within me
Waiting to be freed
Emerging From The Dark Night
