The Freedom to Be
I am lost in this freedom
Of ways I could spend
And not enough would find me
I look around but you are not awake
I figure out soon I have to turn the page
But soon is not tomorrow
Or a million years to borrow
For now we are in tune
Sleep falls into predictable slumber
I step around you
I see the obvious
You challenge me to be more of myself
You gave me that freedom
Every time I wait for something more
When you are awake
But there climbs this joy
A never-ending consolation ups its game
Softness merges into voice
Its nothing complicated.
This rustling broadens us
To let us merge into light
When all else confuses the waking in-between
I love you just the same
