Eyes Wide Open

Tomorrow speaks quietly with cherry blossom breath.  Missteps wrap into night cries.  I know them as I do the back of my hand and I push through my discomfort’s smile.  A sanctuary now guarded by the hearts of others.  Breaking open the falsehood of destiny – and laying my path with bricks of faith.

I learn to live beyond my somber moments and find freedom in inspiration – enlightenment in feeling the sound of thunder.  Our senses can fail us, but mastered we can defy gravity.  I break the cycle with the smell of fear and I barrel through bondage with the taste of wind.  What we think we know will halt us in our tracks, but when we move in the water as smooth as dolphins – our history can change.
