Let’s be the soul
that we never knew.
Let’s play that role
we could have performed
but seemed untrue.
You keep your grief aside
and the silent rebel in you.
I will put down my angst
and the veil of ideal view.
Let the bird fly
flapping those angry wings.
Let the present defy
those vicious untidy stings.
Let the time decide
what we thought we could
and what we already knew.
But for the time being…
Let me be me. And you, be you.
