Some eyes aren’t ready

to behold what’s beyond the cave.

Some lives are destined

for obedience, to behave.

Some are satisfied

by what the animal self craves.

The truth is,

it requires incredible bravery,

To liberate oneself,

from our mental slavery.

But know this:

your eyes need time.

glimpse by glimpse,

you’ll adjust to the light.

It’s dangerous,

incomprehensibly bright.

And I do miss

The days I didn’t have to fight

Great Uranus

Granting me second sight

I’ve found bliss

altogether, I’m alright,

But the truth is,

I’m a little scared of heights.

The sky I kiss,

Each and every night,

With clenched fists,

Paralyzed by fright,

Mother Goddess,

Lunar night light,

My one medicine,

holds my hand tight.

she tells me this:

“you’ll be alright,

Take it all in,

Enjoy the flight” –
