It’s a twisting and turning labyrinth trying to get to you
I can see within my mind the picture so clearly from where I stand
I already scouted out the land as I hovered above it in flight
I studied the earth below with all its dimensions
Trees and brush, hills and valleys
Streams and rivers
I can see the path that will get us to where I want us to go
But you cannot fly and your scope of vision is limited
There are others to consider but you are the one I must convince
Should you stay or should you go
There is a life with either choice
I am impatient to go now that I can see the path
You cannot see it yet
I try to describe to you what I see
I ask you to trust me, we should go
This place no longer has my heart
Something is calling to me and I feel it in my soul
I speak to you in riddles you say
You cannot trust what you cannot understand
So you close your mind to me and hope I will stop
Trying to rush you is only turning you away
I am overcome by emotion
I speak in tongues you do not understand
I become frustrated and I snap
You recoil and grip harder into the ground
You have your own vision
This place still holds your gaze
Your heart is opening to all that lies here
You are expanding and growing here
I am losing my feathers here
I love you, I’m sorry I cannot stay here
Must I walk this path alone
I am hurting you desperately gripping onto you
You feel angry and confused and frightened by my intensity
You go your way trying to recover
I perch in a tree and stare at the horizon
Another sunset is coming. another day over
My time is limited compared to yours
I see things totally differently
I never thought we would part
I am broken if I stay and broken if I leave
The colors are flooding as I just feel and stop thinking
Breathe, just breathe
Tomorrow will come and I must try to mend what I have wounded
But you have retreated so far within
You are shocked to see me this way
I am broken that you cannot see what I see
I know I will have to leave
You know it too
The anxiety is passing as now I feel just sadness
No I do not know what I will find when I go
That is both the beauty and the fear of it
But I know one thing
I can fly, I have instincts that tell me when a change is coming
I am not in control of this, and it will not leave me alone
Experience tells me not to wait too long
For there is a world out there that is calling to me
Come to me, I will show you treasures for your soul
You must risk it all
And you will find what they will one day need
So be brave my heart
Be strong and know
That when destiny calls
She will show you wonders and secrets
When you love someone, when you love many
You know that you must be true to yourself
And when you are, they will one day see
That you did it for them and you
The heart is so powerful and must be obeyed
One life to live
Time is short
Make it work, make it beautiful
I love you all so much I can hardly breathe
Thinking of missing you is poison to me
But the process has begun
It will take shape now that I see it coming
I will obey and trust
That all will be well
I love you so much
We will find our time again
Better than before
Healed by obeying our individual paths
I am proud of you for knowing your own
There is no fear in love
We will mend and begin again
But for now I must fly
I must find what I was born to find
So I can bring it back to you and lay it at your feet
So we can have something to celebrate
I see us laughing and dancing in a field
The children are running around us in circles
We will look at each other and know
It is well with our souls
