[read these words out loud, your voice gives them power]
They say a body is a vessel
They call your heart, a key
Your limits have no limit
Your soul, a planted seed
You reach for this in wonder
Tendons stretch, you lean
Gazing out your window
You split right at the seam
They sing you have the power
They shout 'oh joy it brings!'
They wave their arms asunder
Yet words they just don't cling
You can't connect the wires
You've lost some growing thing
You float upon an ocean,
You fly, on broken wing
Distant voices echo, calling
They post the next big thing
'Turn the dial to your mirror
Shape yourself into the key
Go eat your own surrender
Go, get lost in some dream
Toss out the thoughts of others
Away, them childish things!
Dive into your own adventure
Don't you deserve to sing?
Your past is just a heartbeat
Cast off that old molding,
Creation was your starting
Go own your destiny!
No peeking into alleys
Ignore the stains you see
Its fine to just be happy
Love your life and let it be!'
Words they heap upon you
Shared for all to feed
But If you look a bit more distant
Here is what you'll see:
A vessel is a poor thing
But water it runs free
It can boil in a minute, but
remember it can freeze
Your body is the ocean
The salt is in the breeze
To savor what is lasting
Just turn from 'fill' to 'free'
Your power won't be broken
They'll roll their eyes 'oh please!'
But vessels have a void within
And tip with greatest ease
Or they fill to overflowing
With words and memes and needs
Most often they will miss the light
That flickers through the trees
Go find it in the gardens
It murmurs in the leaves
Seek it in the quiet times
When all you do is breathe
By taking in this moment
Your mind it can be freed
You'll learn its in your nature
To stop a wound that bleeds
Some speak as if one weekend
A bird will find its wings
And carry you on rainbows
'5 tips' to brighter scenes
But if you sit and ponder
Or stand up tall and lean
You'll find there is no answer
You'll find there is no thing
Our beauty isn't hidden
We aren't in need of wings
When it hits you, it's like lightning
It drops you on your knees
Then standing up and walking
Is all that you will need
A journey with a knowing
That you don't have to plead
Not for your own salvation
Not for a single creed
For You are more than worthy
Than a ship lost in the sea
You are not a vessel
You are not the key
You are here
You are now
You are worthy
You. are.
