Open Sesame

 

I never let my guard down

I don’t let others in past the wall

There’s a secret place only for me.

 

Tell me your stories,

I’ll listen

But ask for nothing back.

 

I’ll be your friend,

Your Lover,

But you’ll never see inside me.

Down to my soul.

 

It’s too fragile

It can’t take another hurt

I want it for me.

 

I lived all my life that way.

 

And then I changed.

One day

In a moment

As I sat across from someone

A mirror image of myself

 

Not through touch

Just a look

A feeling

A need to share happiness.

Once I touched it

I was changed

 

I found someone with the same wall

I took a chance and let mine fall.

All in a moment,

Without even realizing it,

I shared

Opened up

Showed my deepest inner self

 

You know what I found

Trust

A release

An inner happiness that can’t be stopped

 

I find now in music,

In art 

In people

 

It isn’t to be shared with just one

It’s to be shared with everyone.

The happiness and glow

Is the greatest power you possess.

 

Everyone wants to find it.

Well its right there

You just have to trust

Let go

And soar

 

The view from the sky is awesome

Come along and soar with me.
