The dance of truth

As butterflies we go from flower to flower

Searching for nectar, from sunlight to bower

A searing presence, few moments at a time

Fleeting in intensity, reflective of its time.

What do I do? Asks the deep from within

What do I say? Ask the words therein

Do I allow the words to fly free

Forming sentences that would surely be me?

Do I instead rein them in?

Holding the patterns of thoughts within?

What would happen if the rails were set free?

Would it let loose a different me?   

What is it that sets the barrier line

From expressing who I really am?

A fear of loss, maybe perceived slight

A fear of rejection, all located in the mind.  

Vulnerability, that’s what I aim to hide

Covered in words & actions aimed right.

Little realizing that in doing so

I bury myself in images that mow.

Till I wake up & fling the covering layers

Taking courage in my hands, a self that dares

To be who I am, to say what I feel

Being truthful within, compassionately healed.

The dance of truth, flitting from bower to bow

Let loose on its flight & homing in low

Finding its restful place, completeness within

A kindred soul, met on the journey therein.
