Fight or Fly

Freedom lies on outstretched wings.
Those who seek just to find, find their only seeking.
Little gifts of joy delight, each one of us in kind.

I face my life with fear so cumbersome, I feel my weight is mine and right.
Each sight I see a tiny spark, a neutron from a different sun.
The flask I fill with all my thoughts escapes my hands at every grasp.
Undaunted i step forward, I walk with purpose, even when lost.

A man once said he had found everything he ever sought.
When I asked what he treasured the most, he showed me the love he never had.

I am nothing without your words, without your acknowledgment.
In this space where we are words, symbols, sights feelings and objects.
I am never one, I am always many.
My definition of me whether intellectual or whimsical has a nucleus that cannot be seen but it is always felt.
This touch plays such a role that is more than we perceive .
When I embrace you I give you me, I open up in that locked state.
I share my life force, my history & my future.

Animalistic designs do not bind us to fate, or make beasts of us.
Instinct serves its purpose.
Always rationalizing explaining or ignoring that which just is.
It seems that the only thing which we really share with each other is narrow sight.
So much for being the intelligent self-aware species, we still react from fear.
