Open Highway
On the outside of the fringe Feeling extra And unhinged I am on the ledge again And beginning to like it here. The air is cooler on the outside The silence So soothing Like driving at night On an open highway That stretches forever Never Looking back. And I need the space On days like today If I had the ability I would probably Even push my own self away.

You’re frightened a bit
Aren’t you As if you let yourself go Any deeper into this There may be no escape I know I can be pretty intense And right now you’re looking into the pool Of other worlds And possibilities And wondering if You can wade in a bit But keep your head Safely above the waters I’m sorry you cannot There is a different air here That we breathe In this mystical place When we leave The world of known The world of simple Stable Clear Understanding And you’re frightened Are you not? You like your control And in this place Beneath the sea of other worlds With me Well you cannot plan a thing. Nor can you choose what You leave behind Or what you bring For when we come here We leave behind Everything Except ourselves. And can you trust me Am I real Or am I Imaginary? After all this is just glimpse isn’t it There is more Beyond ~ When you reach your hand in When you reach for me Your hand disappears And you cannot see What is within But you can touch my hand You can feel my skin And for a minute you might try And pull me back To the world of “facts” Where you live But I will never return to that place again I’m sorry I like my world I will not leave it For yours So you can go your way Or you can dive deep in And discover if you can still breathe In this place where I live. Charity Janisse It all comes from and back to love
it always does it always did the reason we want the reason we work the reason we live It all comes from and back to love the reason we smile the reason we fear the reason we stay and attempt to draw near to what we want what we need it is always love The reason we wake press through tough days do what me must and make what we make it is always love there is nothing else that exists but this just love It is all there is.
