just lemme be free / lemme be me /take this blindfold off so I can see / I wanna breathe / I wanna speakeasy / I wanna walk in the trees / get lost in a breeze / I wanna feel the world freeze / I wanna free my mind / I wanna be alive – Please.
I awaken as the night sky pours on the concrete
Moonlight cascades the mountain ranges and trees
A quietness and stillness as the darkness explores
It is serene and void of the daylights abrubt
Here is where anything is possible and the unreal comes to life
The animals no longer hide; roaming the terrain
The fox; wolf; racoons; coyotes; owls and bears
I feel as if a visitor in this time and place and I respect it
I respect its sacredness and its divine still
While streetlights flicker along the cascading streets
Not a sound and not a movement nor passing cars
All is still yet I know it is very much alive
When I awaken to the nights sky
Why do I love the rain
Does it wash away the pain
The hurt; of living here on earth
Or is it the calm and serene
Drifting into streams
Or cascading lights in the city
Stunning; it’s so pretty
Or perhaps the sound
On the tin roofs or ground
It’s lovely when it rains except
Perhaps I’m a little rain obsessed.
Nina
Protected by my mother; and my mothers mother
Under the ravens great wings; I abide
Loving all of mother earths children
Her animals and her trees and her streams
Our towered buildings overlook the twin peaks
In this great turtle island is so much beauty
I basque and appreciate the rainfalls
So thankful for the sky
For this sunshine and this stormy night
Looking into the sky; universal in my eyes
And under the raven wings I will fly.
Nina
I have been through the mud
And still like the lotus I rise
Every morning anew
And as free as a bird in the sky
Good morning world…
Nina
Mistaking the false for the true
and the true for the false,
you overlook the heart
and fill yourself with desire.
See the false as false,
and the true as true.
Look into your heart.
Follow your nature.
—Buddha Shakyamuni
