Subway Meditations



you’re my rock

my abstract

my concrete

my sight is jaded by this life

but my soul is open

and anchored to yours

in the air i breathe

the sun on my cheeks

you are there

you are here

in the love i give

in the love i long to receive

your embrace is forever

guiding me through my days

sending shivers down my spine

raising goosebumps on my flesh

you’re already here

i’m fighting my way there

your shadow follows me through the world

reminding me of where i came from

leading me to where i’m supposed to be

showing me the frightening truths

about this world

from the depths of a world

much different than mine

as i fight my way out of this cocoon

the shadow holds my wings

up to the stars

giving them the strength for me to fly away

and i can breathe

the walls of my enclosure

have crumbled

and the lips of a siren

greet me into this new life

forever is beneath my feet

in the soil

that my toes bury themselves into

in the wind

that carries my wings

in the raindrops

that wash my tears away

…….
