unearth me

maybe that’s what has been stalling me
maybe i’ve been distracting; digging depths around me
finding roots that aren't mine
looking for answers in places; not of this time

maybe I’ve been wedging distance from the heart of it
wanting to fall in love with something outside of it
asking the world to unearth me
maybe i’ve been afraid of falling
in love with me

nothing would ever be the same
this gated heat; a breath away from flame
I would burn flying wildfire
done with silencing the breath beneath the shame
oh, my wild heart unleashed under love’s powerful spell

i’ve been wishing to fall in love
to burst open
wanting love to unearth me
maybe i’ve been afraid of falling
in love with me

witness the unbound roots
the cracking open of ground
taking the first sip of sky
passion beyond reasoning ideas beyond the shackles of design
will beyond anyone’s need to confine

don’t fear your own light
shadows larger than you
heart mightier than the mind

maybe that’s what has stalled these yearning dreams
maybe that’s what has frozen me to follow through
wanting love to unearth me
maybe i’ve been afraid of falling  in love who I know to be

i would fly so fast and far
there would be no turning back
if i lived for the spirit inside,
i would be a recluse for change - i would take no direction and live outside this cage
i would have unearthed what took years to dim
i would fall in love with me.
extend my hand and it would be the beginning of everything.
