To be fully alive
We must feel free
To be the very one
We were born to be
To come back to life
After surviving death
No one will fully understand
What is truly left
Deep inside the soul of one
Whose inner light and truth
Seemed to shine too brightly
For this world
Those whose spirit was almost entirely extinguished
Or put to death
By killing forces that so often abound
In a world grown dark
Where we find ourselves
Constantly surrounded by
The obliteration of joy
How sad for this life energy we carry
To become a threat
The very life that restores the love
To a soul made bereft
By the starvation
Of genuine impulses
That nature provides
How then to stay alive
In this place
How to reclaim the light
When light is stolen
To speak for life
When true life urges are so often
Broken with the will of the one
Who longs only to come awake
Within the enforced trance
Of emotional sleep
Perpetrated
By killing forces
Thinking of you… 💙💙🌏
