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
