I feel a suppression of expression I feel it’s time I’ve waited long enough It’s time to let go I hear the music play I see elegant lines I touch the keyboard I smell a morning dew I can’t hold back

I let go of the self It’s how I choose It’s how I live It’s over Until it isn’t. I’m met with infinite choices I freeze It begins Waves of life flicker The frequency of reality hums As I hold on for dear life As I set myself free

I ran and I ran I dove through the future Time flew by, then I stopped Trillions of little moments came racing back Wednesday stopped becoming Friday Next year became a thing of the past Time stood still, then I arrived I took stock of my world I peered into moments My eyes were wide with wonder I left the future behind And now; I live

Freedom isn’t free My brothers and sisters …they pay the price Our ** Cold War ** burns As the Red Scare becomes the Black Horror Ukraine is US ; defying tyrants We know hate never wins In the end

I lose words …sometimes I say words …as they fall on deaf ears I scribble letters …as meaning dissolves Then I find the words …again I find the right words …in the moment I stumble on words …as I end
