SOMETHING WITHIN ME

There is something within me that matches the emptiness of the sky,

That wants to speak when something is inequitable

But due to people, is refrain by.

There is something within me that is inspired

by the alchemy of nature,

That wants to sway with trees

along with the cool passing breeze.

There is something within me that

matches the majestic ocean,

Furious, allure and relentless.

There is something within me that

Perceives the darkness of night,

That understands the alacrity of light.

Something within me blends with

the illusion of horizon,

The Sky and Earth never really meet

A beautiful confusion,

Paradigm of deceit.

Something within me is

spirited and free,

But I’m not where I should be.
