Don’t grieve at the stab.It’s only meant to free you.From the chains that bind you to the earthand shackle you to the shadows of people.The mirage of water cannot quench.But is so beautiful to the thirsty.I’m afraid. Of never knowing another life.Different. So different.If I let go, will You take me higher?Above grief, want, loss.Above all that I’ve ever known.Take me higher. Unbind me from the earth.Like a vaccine, it sickens, to make you stronger.The stab is temporary. The freedom, eternal.
