hey guys,

I wrote this one a while ago but it's still one of my favourites. Can anyone guess what it is about or perhaps who this is about? I'm wonderign if it means different things to different people.

Fleeing To Set It Free



Running through this life
Trying to escape the memory of you
Afraid of my own fantasies
As fast as the wind will carry me
I flee

I’ve been running for some time now
And I can see the ground in front of me diminishing
As I approach the edge of a cliff
The end of my run is near
I fear

Stopping just a few feet from the edge
Deep breathes taken to remain calm
I know it is behind me now, approaching
Turning to face my pursuer’s demands
I stand

I see so clearly what I have been running from
As it stands before me, taunting me to believe
To accept and deal with its presence
I am forced to either let it in or set it free
I see

Closing my eyes for a moments relief
Blindly reaching out to feel its power
I hold it in my hands and embrace it
Marveling at its intense beauty
And audacity

I turn around to face the world below
So vast and welcoming in front of me
I have a choice now to make things right within
I know what I have to do
Be true

Be true to what’s always been in my heart
Release this desire that I can no longer suppress
I gather it all in my hands
And throw it out over the cliff into the world
Unfurled

In this moment there is peace within and with the earth
As I finally release my feelings for you
I accept they can no longer thrive within me
I must release them and give them to you
And I do

As I watch them float over the cliff I hope they make their way
To the place where they long to be
To connect with you and thrive once more
No longer my burden to hold
I am bold


Smiling at the splendor of it all
I sit and dangle my feet over the precipice
Relief washes over me and I feel free again
I hope they will one day find their way back to me
We’ll see
