I Stand On Edge

I stand on edge in the hologram called life 
My mind tied in the knots my heart weeps
And butterflies use an already anxious stomach
As their personal playground   
As I walk through the fires of verve 
I find a place imbued in a rainbow of truth 
As I awaken to a reality that is my own 
I see you and I am lifted to a place of unsolicited
Emotions 
As I ride the clouds I am drenched in the fragrance 
Of the moon 
And as I stand draped in unrelenting fervor 
My heart said                           
Let you in
