I am

I am deep..
I am shallow..
I am opened..
I am closed..
I seek..
I love..
I fall..
I have been torn within my spirit
and drawn into the dark place.
It was because of no one,
but from only myself..
It was there I saw the light
and heard a voice that began
calling me saying
”Come dance with me and
you will be freed and I will
share beauties through
your heart.”
I reached..
I touched..
I did not shudder..
I took and opened my
essence unto the light..
Ah embraced by what I
truly sought.
I accept..
I let go..
and I fly
and I seek..
