Deep inside your eyes : birthright

Deep inside your eyes

I sense a truth of emotions

So often belied by words

There is helplessness and fear

And oh so much vulnerability

That never got to speak its name

Hidden behind so many defences

So that even as my words fall around you

I sense how they fall short

Of being any help at all

If I was always fighting to be free

Its because even as youngster

I felt the family and collective darkness

Surrounding me

While knowing deep inside my soul

I came from another world

It is so strong within me now this feeling

That as much as I want to help

I must just stay away

Fully center in my depths and pray

Calling on those who know the darkness

But have not been defeated by the darkness

Laying claim to the truth

Of the wisdom of the pathway

Of healing light

That is my soul’s natural birthright
