Wide Sky

Take your glasses off See the wide wild sky See the horizon that you have never seen it is ever boxed by your faulty frames guidelined by restriction You can not really know it's name You only see a part of life And know not it's true fame Better see it blurry than as a limited game Your glasses frame the world and yes They let you see but you miss the bigger picture and that's no way to be Take your glasses off and just smell the salted sea It's like you never smelled before and it's as if you have never seen Take your glasses off and experience what it is to be The sky is far far wider and the perspective quite mind-blowing to me Take your glasses off and walk quietly with me Together we can find a new tomorrow We can change who we maybe We can walk hand in hand and forget where it is that might be We can forget our color And just talk so openly We'll speak only the of things we care and never think of where we are Until the angels up above Remind us of true love There will be no Putin There will be no nuclear war They'll only be this wide sky and us being exactly who we are

Love the "take your glasses off" analogy. May we reach the place of removing the lens of judgment and separation... Wonderful way to capture truth!

Thanks Becky Today has been a day of half success in writing Some days are so much harder than others but as long as we show up I guess that is the win
