I WAS HERE
You scream
As their faces wrinkle with shock
I WAS
A dust in the air
A fly on the wall
A beautiful scent
A flower that grew tall
I was here through it all
And I have never left
Nor will I ever go
I am here body and soul
For we can never die
We merely transform
She found it odd
That she could not fly
They told her she couldn’t
But she didn’t understand why
So she jumped from the highest building she could find
She knew that her wings would never leave her behind

I’ve searched for her
Time and time again
She chooses to hide
Underneath my skin
…
Eyes opened so wide
Searching for what’s inside
Where have you gone
Little child?

I have traveled far, escaped a war, and made a new life
The words in my head need to be said… or at least written down somewhere
I find comfort in colored pens and blank papers
If you’re reading this, I thank you for your curiosity
Lets’ inspire each other
Not much difference between you and I
Branches bare
Extended to the sky
Feeling the leaves falling
Insanity calling
And our heads remain high
We’re not different, you and I
Our roots extended beyond our view
And we are judged by where we were planted
Not by what we do
We bare fruits that offend the palate of few
But oh they don’t know the healing that we can brew

Welcome back, they said
As I was born
Eyes refusing to open
Mouth protesting existence
-Another life time to live?
Another lesson to learn?
I have lived too many lives to count
Yet I am still being reborn
For a lesson I refused to learn
I remember when I was maybe eleven
I had to wake up as early as seven, rush to the neighborhood baker
He made our street smell like heaven
The fresh bread gives me warmth on my morning walk
And a lady sitting in the street
selling something to eat
Breakfast routine that I love to remember
Memories of early December
You scream out and they forget why
You awake and start to cry
-Oh this earth, I longed to view
Oh this earth, has room for but a few
And I was chosen
And after the choice
I was frozen
For hearing my new voice
So let me scream a moment or two
For soon I’ll forget what I came to do
.

Do you remember your purpose?

You don’t remember falling
But you must’ve fallen… reasons why you were born crying
You forget what you’ve forgotten
You think they’ll think you’re insane
When you deny your new name
So you shut out what you remember
A haze of a spirit entering a body
Energizing this entity
Your secret is safe
Even you can no longer tell
The truth from the myth
He knew what was wrong but could not be corrected
He looked at the mirror and hated what it reflected
Images no longer compelling
A stranger in the same old setting
He wanted to die just to start again
Then he slept and woke up a different man
Glasses with no prescription
Changed his perception
His eyes fooled him you see
They kept him from being free
All he needed were colored glasses made by his daughter
Saying happy new year to the best father
