To Have No Name

Liberation from the strongest of bonds
From judgment
From classification
From belonging
To exist for the purpose of existence

The echoing voices, a hymn of dependence
Silent

To exist through actions alone
With no mark
No stain
No expectation

To move the world
Then be forgotten
To move the heart
And be remembered

In silence
Nameless
Eternal
Free

That's a wonderful write...Expresses the biases of the world and visualizes how it would be without them. Farah

Quite beautiful and most thought provoking. Love the next to last verse. So much depth here. Love, Shar
