Array ( [sid] => 109467 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => You [time] => 2005-11-10 14:44:20 [hometext] => ...at first 'You' was God...then 'You' was a female...today, 'You' is 'Me...' [bodytext] => “You”

All I’ve ever wanted...
All I’ve ever needed,
was for someone to accept me for who I was
and not for what they thought they could make me to be...
someone who had vision to see beyond the surface noise...
someone who could hear my soul
and wanted to touch my spirit...
someone who would be willing to plunge with me
into the mysterious underwater universe
of whispering silence...
someone who was willing to allow themselves to be submerged with me
in the Living Forest
where heart voices weave an everlasting tapestry
of acceptance and Love...

I’ve existed forty-two years in the city
seeking comfort from the cold gray concrete.
looking to the crumbling asphalt street for direction.
But, the metropolis has never been able to still my trembling heart,
or kindle a fire in my soul,
and the direction that was kindly given,
only gave me assurance of an unending imprisonment...
Now, I find myself weary of the stench of death,
weary of their inability to comprehend
the preciousness of the flame I hold in my heart...
weary of being weary...
I’ve called this dung encrusted grotto home for far too long...

So, with or without companionship,
while the flame still burns within,
I will make my way back to my heart’s home,
the sanctuary of my soul,
my spirit’s refuge…
back to the Forest…
the amniotic realm of my birth…
my Homeland...
“You.”

Very strong, spirited poem, invigorating and freeing.
Finding the importance of ‘self’... there is no substitute!

I especially love,
“someone who had vision to see beyond the surface noise...
someone who could hear my soul
and wanted to touch my spirit...”
This is work for which to be proud!
