permission

i've been a maze-girl offering much grumbling low and i gave all. all that was asked of me when order was so and vision was unrelenting

i never stop long enough to swim against the tides of old

and i was single minded too much to look toward this neutral love

so now

permission to be

permission to slow

and do the only things that matter to me

the freedom to flow to where genuine flows

and do the only things that matter to me

and sure i've had my fun

played with my roles

with times for a break-heart one

but then after a while

so much done by road

no longer by inspiration

i never stopped long enough to see who's was this blind ambition

and i was not sanctioned to stop and realize who's was this omission

so now

permission to be

permission to slow

and do the only things that matter to me

the freedom to flow to where genuine flows

and do the only things that matter to me

with this space

by the dropping of ways

this license to be

with this time really we"
