Beneath Your Feet

Gathering beneath my feet, a tempest impelling me just a little further.
Releasing it's strength - replenishing mine expunged from my journey.
Stand up, stir thyself ruffle thy wings against the stones-
they've become emaciated with everyones burdens except your own.
Relinquish familiar burdens preventing your flight..
Cause a tremor - disturbing your entire atmosphere.
Arise with boldness take back your majestic stance -
Bury all dead things that have been a burden to you. 
You'll no longer carry those which refuses to stand or prosper.
Come out of the cleft, away from the crack of the mountain -
Take thy stance prepare to excel the tempest is beneath your feet.
