Naked

Almost as natural as when the wind blew
Almost as close when I am to feel
Against a nakedness beneath if I knew
For a reason remains when striped is to be real

In a world when I haven’t the place
I live therein forgetting myself too soon
Of dreams to be an ever to forever chase
Haven’t I the life in dire need of fortunes?

However today... some self I have come to find
Some self to once again once more realize
A rediscovering perhaps evermore left behind
Yet a discovery as slowly as surely... dies

And as true as my form had since begin
I try to understand the need for an entrapment
Yet to find no result for an ultimatum to mean
And bearing untrue will I secure my retirement

Today... I felt the wind blew
Closer then I would like to feel
Blowing away a self I knew
And once more shall I begin as real
