Path and trails

Path and trails

I walk a path, a trail well-worn. It brings me back to you, and in this I feel warm. My heart is like air. A time has come and brings darkness, cold and hard but I fear it not; I have the light.



The light is a brilliant star that cuts the shadows.

The light is a sun that warms my form.

The light is a shield that blocks the fear.



On my path I feel your eyes; you watch me and count my steps, time my pace. My eyes are clear, my ears hear you. You count the the beats and breaths. I suffocate, choked by the very air that brings me freedom. I fear it not; I have air.



1 breath of life, with a whisper I rise.

2 breaths of life, a kiss and my pace matches the wind.

3 breaths of life, a word on the wind calls my soul.



Raven-swathed, fear slips, giving way to the true heart, true spirit. In the darkness I have made my home, built on fading shadows and distant dreams. This darkness is fake. Self-imposed to save my soul, now it is my prison. Your voice, your voice reaches out and cradles me.



"Awaken my Black Knight." My eyes open.



"Awaken my Brown Bear." I rise to stand.



"Awaken my Magical One." I stretch to feel the sun.



"Awaken my Brother." This is hard, I feel weak.



"Now is your time ."



Mom, is that you?



"Yes. Let them help you; you have fought so hard and life has been so hard for you. It is time for you, time for you to been the man I... they all see."



I am scared.



"Of what? What do you have to be scared of? How can there be fear when there is so much love around you?"



I don't know brother



"Time to fly, my angel. It is hard to see, but it is time to fly. The sky called to you."



I will try.



"Can you hear them , they are calling. Go and have fun. Be the I man I wanted... the man you want to be."



I want to.



"Then do it ."

"Then do it honey."

"Then do it bro'."



I walk a trail, a well-worn path. The fear is there, but I control it. Fear is but a tool now. The path is worn, but the sky is clear. That will be my new path.
