Do You Hear What I Hear

-what to do during this timelessness-

Sometimes the first step is within

Hear Ye, Hear, Ye

freedom rings at a megahertz not clearly heard by all

muffled, shrouded by years and layers and generations of

fear, shame and guilt

that make it impossible to be heard

Hear ye, hear Ye

cast aside the layers, one at a time

be encouraged by the weightlessness

do Not look back

Close your eyes

listen~

keep listening until you hear the faint ring of freedom

Cast off, cast off

compulsions to react, to wale, to respond

Cast off the pangs of betrayal, of deceit

Cast off self imposed judgement

Cast off childhood illusions, expectations of grandeur

Family ties are sometimes an unbearable weight

Hear Ye Hear Ye

can you hear it

What else have you to cast off

relationships that are entangled with expectations

-yours and theirs

obligations

yokes of indebtedness, imprisonment

Reach within your pocket

you will find a jailers ring of keys

hear ye hear ye

Walk to the door

if one key does not unlock it

you have a whole ring of possibilities

one will unlock the door

you have nothing to lose but layers that deafen

HEAR ye HEAR ye

there’s the sound of freedom

HEAR YE HEAR YE

there’s the sound of sovereignty

hear ye hear ye

— sit still —
