The TruthWithin Us

The truth of the music

swells its tides

inside of us all,

but we are never too eager to listen

to the tendencies

of her breathing spheres

and we hide.

.

. It starts with a single note

that roots its claws in us

once we are born. Painfully, slowly,

by time

the curse of growing old

quiets the music

that longs to elate our young beings

grows larger

roots deeper

and spreads two folds .

.

Held down and tangled,

the music whispers in them then maddened and pounding,

the music cries to scream out .

.

Cowardice silences its ability to find a path to bravery and chance unleashes its sound to the whole world and the universe .

.

The truth is born the day we are and is reborn the day we die.
