The Witness
Where Am I Now I Hear You Ask
While Your Legs Hang Off The Seat
You Stare Up At The Ceiling
But I Feel Our Two Souls Meet
You Draw In a Deep Breath
You’ve Been Here Many Time Before
You Share Your Darkest Secrets
Then Leave them At The Door
You Explore The Depths Of Hell With Me
And Inside I see Your Light
You Swim Around And Look For Clues
And Struggle In The Night
I hold A Lantern Up
And The Flames Flickers Across The Wall
The Walls Expose New Crevasses
You’re Scared That You Will Fall
If You Just Knew One Tiny Aspect Of What I See
You’d Never Drown Again
You Would Bob Up And Down Instead like a Buoy
And Learn To Love The Rain
You’d Celebrate The Sunshine
Dance Around Till Dawn
You’d Feel The Wind Upon Your Face
And Notice Where Your Drawn
You’d Feel The Inner Calling
From The Depth Within Your Soul
Knowing That When All is Done and Sorted
Being Was Your Only Goal
Once You Release Yourself From The Shame And Guilt
That Never Truly Belonged To You
You’d Sparkle with Glimmers Of Light
And Feel The Sun Break Through
You Seek A Witness To Your Pain
To Travel Through Your Despair
To Share Your Fears And Dreams
Exposing The Depth of Something So Rare
We can Look AT ALL That happened
And Bless The Pearls In The Rough
Hold The Faith When All Feels Like All Is Lost
Knowing The Journey Has Been Tough
Once We See That We Are Not What We Thought We Were
Nor That The Messages About Us Were Real
That The Shape In Which We Tried To Fit
That Took Away Our Zeal
Once We Know That This Was A Crazy Stunt
To Get Us All To Comply
We Dance And Wave Our Magic Wand
And Finally Say Goodbye
We Can Wave The Notions Of Who We thought We Were
Let Go of The Shame and Guilt
Let Go of Things We thought We Should Have Done
Or Things We Thought We Should’ve Have Built
We Can Start To Rejoice At The unfolding Dreams
And The story’s We Need To Tell
For When We share The Darkness
We Can Now Step Out Of Hell
We Can Spread Our Wings and Take Full Flight
And Ride The Waves Of Hope
Fly High Alone or with Flocks Of Birds
Consistently Staying Afloat
I Now See You In Full Bloom
Your Heart Is Open Wide
The Aspects You Thought Were Deep and Dark
You’re No Longer Wanting To Hide
I See Fresh Flowers Upon Your Desk
Light Shining Down on You
The Air IS Bright And Breezy
And Emotions Passing Through
You No Longer Get Locked Into The Pain
But See Accept It Ebbs And Flow
And Laugh At How Wild It Really Is
And Where You Really Can Go
You Step Into Your Brand New Cloths
You look In The Mirror Now And Love What You See
You Pick Up Your Shiny New Bag and Walk
No Longer Needing Me
Our Souls Spoke To Each Other
As Your World Did Crash And Burn
But Like The Stories Tell Us
There Is Something Each of Us Learn
But Were Not here To Live In Misery
Or Feel Caught In Others Dreams
We Are Hear To Mark The World
And Make Ourselves Be Seen
We Hear To Say Your Not Alone
While You Walk The Dark Path Of The Soul
We To Witness When You Take In A Breath
And Make You Your Only Goal
Your hear to shine your light
Right out into the world
To feel with awe and wonder
Anticipating what will unfold
Your hear to connect with other souls
Who may want to jounry with you
Crashing through the misconceptions
Emerging shiny and brand new
