Nothing Left To Say

Sometimes I see it
but I don't understand it.

It calls out to me
begging for freedom 
from chains that I have fastened
on pain of death.

I see no reason
not to set it free.
If only it were that easy.

I could only guess
the consequences I have faced,
when every day I've ever lived
has been a vast and monumental waste
of my Creative power.

Do you know me?
I can't say that I do.
So I guess there's 
nothing left to say.
