And so it is
time continues to move forward,
as if the last of our kind
where made to choose our faith,
we move in unison
our bodies locked in ever lasting grace!

arms intertwined
we move with such fluid and ease
but always in the same direction
until we are brought down upon our knees.

But sparks of light
start to pull our attention,
legs become untangled
as we finally break away.

Our sight
once depicted by what we have seen,
Yet never would we make the connection
That our presence is what keeps us real,
The very essence of what drives us and allows our inner strength to open us up and feel,
The many hurts that lay dormant within
Now rise to the surface. as we finally begin!

This new direction
That allows us to unite,

Yet stand firm in our stance
as we create, this sacred and empowered dance
This wave of connection that needs no physical form
That drives us forward
as we are each reborn.
to find our voices
as we form new songs
To break away
So that we truly
know what it means to belong.

And yeah the hesitation is real
The doubt so engrained into our minds
But freedom patiently awaits those,
Who seek to remind,
the need to relearn
to observe
to be still
and engage,
for within the wilderness
we finally come of age!
