to be who i am

to be who i am

4 + 7

i’m squaring heaven

craps shot 11

and i am still eating

unleavened bread

in respite’s sweet sorrow

far off is the morrow

and it’s potential horrows

still loom in my head

we hold to our fears

counting them dear

ain’t that shit queer

we live to play dead

change your thoughts they say

this is a brand new day

make a new path, new way

in my new shoes built of lead

yet still have i desires

fuel by the fires

as i continually aspire

my divine wings to spread

so i will not bereave

when i can conceive

that i too achieve

as i rise up from my bed

for i am a Son

kissed by the Sun

Universally One

i shall not be afraid

i shall extract this dead

out of my head

take off my shoes of lead

my wings be spread

spit out sorrow’s bread

to my dreams be wed

cause i am not afraid

to be who i am

June Barefield triggered this as reflected in the Open Stanza.

His Profile pic displayed a 5/4 and i had to go in to it . . .

i came up with a bit more of me.

Bless up my Brother June
