Fearless

The smoke is filling up my lungs,

The sun just took it's final glance from behind the trees,

The forest reflects off from the lake,

Music without a voice finds a place in my soul,

And I sit in the midst of it all, fully alive, fully feeling,

But still not knowing.

I sit in another quiet moment, feeling life, seeing life,

But not knowing what lies beyond this night,

Where I'll end up going, what I'll end up thinking or feeling,

And it's fear.

It's a rush of adrinaline, and the more I think about the mystery of life,

The more I draw back in that fear.

I want to feel without being too aware,

I want to experience without expectations,

I want to ride without insurance that it will all be okay,

And I want to be okay with that.

By now, the sky has turned a darker shade of blue,

And I just sit and wait for the black to take over.

The night time sky, and the tears it cries so often,

Make me feel so at home, and only when the sun is sleeping or hiding can I fully feel alive.

The air is getting colder with each passing night,

And though Florida doesn't snow, it feels so nice outside.

I'm thinking that maybe, with the changing of the seasons, I, too, can change.

I want to dive into life and never look back, I want to risk it all for the potential of finding happiness,

I want to feel complete this Holiday season, and I want to fly above the clouds,

Feeling that nice, cool breeze rush against me,

Soaring where I've never dared fly to before.

Stars are becomming visable, one by one,

And before the sky is full, I'd like to make a simple commitment,

Simpler than I've made it out to be so many times before..

I want to be fearless and strong, sure and without hesitation,

Confident and outgoing, ready and willing, from here on out.

Bring on the stars, bring on the night,

Bring on tomorrow, bring on my life,

Bring on the years, bring out the stars,

And allow me to live fully and all the way.

I love this!! Very insightful and deep. Great imagery and the last four lines take it in for a strong landing. Nice!
