Twenty One

I can see you in my mind
Standing in an open place
Surrounded by the tall grass
Flowing to a healing breeze
Daffodils nodding to the passer by
The gurgle of a brook
You are quiet everywhere
Waiting for something beautiful

It's finally come to this
Such constant fighting
Battling for that elusive something
Your place? Your identity? Your freedom?
Filled with so much
And scarred so deeply
A promise? a joy?
And yet
You're waiting...for something beautiful

Here you are
You want to fly away
Somewhere
Where you are unknown
And you can be free, because
No one knows what's deep inside you
And when you laugh, or talk, or cry, it could all be real
But you're waiting,
For something
Waiting for something beautiful

Face to the sky
Eyes closed
Arms outstretched
Feeling the scars stretch
Wishing they'd wash away
Wishing for harmony
Feeling the sun kiss your face
Hearing the quiet
You think about it all....

You've given and given
And you'be been taken away
So you are empty
And angry
And waiting
For something beautiful

I can see you in my mind
Crying in an open place
Blossoms above your head
Flowing to a healing breeze
One lands in your hair
The song of a bird
You are shaking
Crying for something beautiful

Your soul is stretching her wings
Awakening
Your spirit being renewed
And you feel a hand on your head
But you are alone
In that open place
You feel so safe
Waiting for something beautiful

It's finally come to this
Because you know, you have to know,
There is something more
Then you set out for yourself
You've journeyed this far
Come to this place
Alone and yet surrounded,
That hand on your head,
That feeling of relief,
Like something has lifted
Something's released

I can see you in my mind
Dancing in an open place
Flowing to a healing breeze
Words surround a melody
And you begin to sing
Cause there is no more waiting

What you lost He found
You are beauty everywhere
Here all along
It's your beautiful you
You are beautiful
YOU
