BRAZEN are we who would sit before ourselves and pray! With eyes closed and visions in our minds we know as truth! We say yes to our own hearts for there we know lies the Great Creator whispering softly to us, “Yes, go that way.”
But do we go? Do we let our skin rub into the Earth as we move in the direction of our dreams?
*
Unabashedly I yell to the stars, “Take me!”, as I stand naked in the wind, blowing my head back! I ROAR from my groin into the blackness of the night!
*
I ROAR from somewhere unknown inside me. I SCREAM! I Am Unleashed! A wild being on a wild shore with the crashing of the waves to grind me into the sand if I let them! It is my choice! I hear my own voice as it could be BOOM outward and out, far and away! I do not tire! I stamp and pound the ground in a dance of honor! I SCREAM for I want to know myself worthy to have my feet stand where they may! I want to know myself worthy! And I know no other way than to hear myself against an entire sky of diamonds! No other way than to hear myself loud enough to compete with the glowing of the stars! That the rush of water breaking is supporting my sound upward into the places I could never think to go! The vastness that would have me cower and crumble but that I surrender to it with tears whipping off my face from the power of my fists swinging through the space I inhabit!
*
For unless I cut it from my body and hold it before the sun, my heart dwells in the darkness beneath my skin! But I will have it know light despite it all! I will HOWL MY HEART INTO THE SUN with volume that drowns out my blackest fear! Grinds it into the sand in the waves with the skin I have left behind as I blast completely away!
