PRICE OF PRESENCE

The stillness of the dark
Became heavy and thick
She wanted it done and over
She moved into the quick
...vibration

He responded with voice
As a song escaped his lips
"Is that your voice?"
Identified the very sharp tips
....nails

The heavens erupted in violence
As momentum gained speed
Every living form rushing about
Not knowing where it would lead
...light

What was hidden, underneath
Awaiting the day of revelation
Broke open and yielded
To the TRUTH of elevation
...sovereignty

I AM...me
