Too many cities have risen, collapsed and fallen. Too many lives have been lived and forgotten. Too many stories have been lost without the words being on the page of a book.
Yet, we have our memories, our words, and songs of our cultures ringing within the hearts and minds of every living person. We just have to remember who we are and why we are.
Yes, I am coming home to be free again.
I am coming home to be myself
Myself and nobody else.
I am coming home.
So many times we separate what belongs together. Because we separate the mind from the heart, thinking we will survive the weather, the coming of the morning, the leaving of the night. We begin to believe in the duality that life seemingly presents to us. There is no duality, but an absence of one. Night is just the absence of light. There would be no night if it were not for light. The embers of duality fade away when the cold of the night gives way to the heat of the morning. Yet there is a sun of the daylight and the midnight sun of the night, just as we have the masculine and the feminine, it is all one.
Yes, I am coming home to be free again.
I am coming home to be myself
Myself and nobody else.
I want to be whole within my being.
I am coming home.
We are born of love, two spirits claiming intimacy, of one nature or another. Whether it was given or it was stolen, it was coming from a want to connect with another human being. The joining of those two spirits created another human being, from a sperm and an egg. So, within the grace of the day of a newborn child, let us not have a warring of the heart. Let us state the fact that there will not be any war today. This is a day we want to celebrate the freedom this day of birthing. We will not take any prisoners today. We will hold hands in the name of love, wrap the newborn in the cloth of compassion and the vision of a new life. There is a chance of a future, someone will be coming home. That is the dream of dreams.
Yes, I am coming home to be free again.
I am coming home to be myself
Myself and nobody else.
I want to be a reflection of love today.
I want to be whole within my being.
I am coming home.
The warring of the heart has caused division within our people, within ourselves. I have come here to this planet with a gifting, a talent to be shared in support and compassion, to my community and my country. I have come here to complete the circle of loving, the giving, the being, and the receiving. There will be no war of the heart and mind if I were to complete the cycle of loving. I will be a sustainable modern man and not add to the possible division of the human spirit. I have come to this planet to know peace from within and without. I have come here to actualize and claim “my place of belonging” and come to the belief I will become enough from within to go out to make a change in this world. If I can create balance from within myself, then I will be able to pay it forward with ease to gift to someone else.
Yes, I am coming home to be free again.
I am coming home to be myself
Myself and nobody else.
I want to claim my place of belonging.
I want to be a reflection of love today.
I want to be whole within my being.
I am coming home.
Each day you find yourself awake, it is a good day to be above ground. It is a good day to remember our histories as we build our future. It is a good day to feel safe within your own skin. So, I am coming home to be free again with no more warring of the heart and I will sit with myself to know myself more deeply. I will take the time to remember the many cities that have risen, collapsed and fallen. I will promise to write the stories of my journey, gathering the many human stories that have crossed my path. I am coming full circle and not caring if one day there are chickens and then the next day there are feathers. We are all in this together like the sun and the moon.
As I sit with myself I know I am enough, because I will have peace within as I stay connected and intimate with myself and my community. As I sit with myself I give myself the permission to be a human, a being in the midst of becoming comfortable in my “place of belonging” and I am coming home again. We are the descendants of the ancients, children of the modern world. We must remember we are tied together by history and we are one like the moon and the sun.
Yes, I am coming home to be free again.
Within myself and within the walls of my movements.
I am coming home to myself.
I claim my place of belonging.
I want to be a reflection of love today.
I want to be a whole being within.
I am coming home as I live in the state of becoming.
